The Duracell 3000L Tri-Power Lantern doubles as a solar power bank

The Duracell 3000L Tri-Power lantern is a 3000 Lumens camping or outdoor-friendly light for outages, storms and beyond. It doubles as a power bank, has a built-in solar panel, and a Qi wireless charger for mobile devices.

When the power goes out you need light. Even in sunny Florida where I live, during the day, when the power is out, there are parts of my home that are dark. I’m sure it’s much more prevalent up north in forested areas or those with lots of coverage. Of course, that problem can easily be solved with candles or battery-powered lanterns and flashlights. You likely already have your own solutions stocked for that. But allow me to introduce you to a multi-functional, super practical alternative. The Duracell 3000L Tri-Power rechargeable lantern. It’s a 3000 lumen rechargeable lantern with five beam settings including an eco-mode.

But it also doubles as a power bank. It has a USB port for charging devices, a Qi wireless charging pad on the top, and a built-in solar panel to help charge the batteries. Worried about the battery capacity? You can also install disposable D-cell batteries as a backup.

What else can the Duracell 3000L Tri-Lantern do?

The five beam modes are low (65 lumens), medium (250 lumens) and high (3000-1000 lumens), with an optional eco-mode to conserve battery and a dimming mode for sleep and quiet time. There’s also an emergency red flasher to use as a signal, if needed.

At the base of the lantern is a USB-C port for power in and a USB-A port for power out. The power in is to recharge the battery, or you can use the solar panel at the top. Power out is to charge mobile devices and USB gadgets. Meanwhile, you can rely on the rechargeable batteries inside and solar or add your own D-cell disposables for a backup source.

The whole thing kind of looks like a mini blender, and there’s a handle that flips up for easy carrying. This thing would be helpful during an outage, for off-grid living, camping, or anything similar. It’s also only $40. Reasonable. Solid. Excellent value.
