MPOWERD 1023-002-001-002 Luci Outdoor 2.0 - Inflatable Solar Light, Finish, Adjustable Strap, 5 x 4.25, Clear

Bought for a friend as the one was given 7 years ago is still working! Love it.

I love my Coleman dual-fuel lanterns, my Feuerhand & Chalwyn hurricane lamps and the many LED lights I have from the best rated manufacturers. But this one really surprised me.A solar powered beach ball lantern?But, it weighs practically nothing packs down to a very small size and, when tested (with a bit of a sceptical expectation about the 24 hour on low setting claims), after 8 hours in bright sunlight, it gave out enough light to illuminate a small tent for just over 33 hours on low. YMMV. I was expecting serious drop-off at around the 12 hour mark. Didn't happen.The colour temperature is whiter, thus less yellow than I tend to like in a camping lantern, but it has survived some rigorous dunk testing and a brief period as a volleyball on a recent camping trip, so seems fairly robust. It's waterproof & floats too.Hanging straps top & bottom and a 3 position charge indicator add to the convenience & utility.Apparently every sale also benefits charitable distribution of these lanterns and technology to areas without a reliable supply of electricity around the world.Put it this way, I've ordered another.Edit - People seem to be having problems with the pinch valve when inflating.You only need to pinch to expand the lantern by pulling the top and bottom apart. When mostly expanded, a couple of breaths through the one way valve has the lantern fully inflated. Pinch the valve with your fingers and squeeze top and bottom together to rapidly deflate.When fully inflated you can still push the valve in to be pretty much flush.

When fully charged the lights only stays on for a short period and then runs out of battery. Not impressed. Glad I didn't take it hiking.

I bought this luci light for a portaging trip I did over the summer, looking to lighten my load and not have to carry a more heavy-duty lamp. This light was so convenient, charged up quickly and was perfect for the trip. It has since, become a staple in my camping gear- just because of how convenient and reliable it is. I can't recommend it enough.

I’m writing this review during the 2022 Ontario/Quebec Derecho storm.We have been without power for 3 days now and this little gizmo has been so useful.Just think about night light for the kids that won’t break or clobber them if it falls.It is waterproof and floats in the pool and we even used it in the shower!Charges quick and packs small as a diskInflates with just a squeeze of the tab or a breath or two tops.We are so grateful to the designers as having light during dark times is a game changer for the health and well-being during our little first world problem. Be well

This is a good product and charges using solar energy. I like the idea and its easy to pack for camping trips. The only downside is the battery doesn't last long. You get maybe 4 hrs on low setting and 2 hrs on high setting. We used it for our camping trip and play board games in the tent but it didn't last long. I give it a 3 out of 5.
