Solight: Long-lasting and lightweight solar camping lanterns- Techigar

Solight offers a variety of solar camping lanterns and outdoor lighting options with gorgeous designs, reliable tech and sturdy builds. The QWNN and MegaPuff solar lanterns, for example, include a 4,000mAh power bank that can also be used to charge your phone and mobile devices.

Even if you’re off-grid or out exploring the wilderness, you need light. Warmth, food and water are critical concerns, too. But in most cases, before you can acquire those, you need light. You need a way to see what you’re doing, what’s around you and to fully illuminate your local area. But there’s no electricity outdoors, at least not the traditional grid-based power we’re used to. That’s where solar camping lights come in real handy. It’s also why I want to introduce you to Solight. The brand makes beautifully designed but fully functional outdoor and solar camping lanterns and here’s the best part: The lanterns are waterproof and built to last. In fact, you can use Solight’s lanterns in water.

That’s possible thanks to the unique material the lanterns are made out of. Called PET Sailcloth material, it’s tough, water-resistant, and can survive even in harsh outdoor conditions. You don’t have to worry about your lantern breaking down on you when it matters most. They’re also super lightweight, and some of them are collapsible so they’ll fit easily in a day pack or go bag. Solight offers many solar camping lanterns, so this entry is more about the brand than a single product. A couple worth highlighting, include the QWNN solar lantern or the MegaPuff solar origami lamp. They’re both lanterns, but they also both double as portable charging banks for your phone and mobile devices.

What makes the Solight solar camping lanterns so special?

Let’s look at the QWNN solar lantern specifically. It features an inspired origami-like design with flat polygons accentuating the pyramid shape. I know my kids would absolutely adore something like this. But also, it’s no slouch in the tech department either. The entire device features IP67 water-resistance, and the materials are environmentally friendly — they’re non-toxic and recyclable. As for the tech, the lantern has a 4,000mAh rechargeable battery and power bank inside. At its lowest setting, when fully charged, that’s enough to keep the light on for 48 continuous hours. At its highest setting, the lantern offers 600 Lumens of brightness. Moreover, 10 hours of charging in the sun will recharge the bank. Meanwhile, a rapid charge via USB micro for two hours will replete the battery, as well. There are five lighting settings: Low, medium, high, candle, and blinking. Plus, the bottom of the lantern is magnetic, allowing it to attach to any surface.

It’s a design marvel. But more than that, it features inspired and innovative usage of modern technology to create a highly functional device — exactly what we’re about here at Techigar.

You can use these lanterns while camping, poolside to keep your patio ambiance zen, outdoors, in your backyard, or in the remote wilderness. You could even use them at the beach, at concerts and outdoor events, and pretty much anywhere you’d need light. Heck, I would even give one of these to my kids for a night light in their bedrooms.
