I would definitely recommend the

I really liked it after using the MPowered Luci Explore once. I have a flashlight for camping use, but I think I'll end up using it around the house and garden as much as I do when traveling. I think it's great that it combines so many functions in one device. It's light and compact enough that I don't have to travel with separate speakers, lights and chargers - a huge bonus. All of the various features are effective, but are discussed separately below. I found the application used to control it to be very simple and straightforward. Power supply: When it arrived it was partially charged. I had the opportunity to charge it about an hour before use. So it wasn't fully charged when I used it for the first time. I used the speaker for about 5 hours and also the light for another 3 hours and it didn't run out of power even on a partial charge. I was very satisfied with the duration of the partial charge. Another benefit of charging from a power source is the need for a cable. It uses a standard USB socket, which is much simpler and more versatile than the kind used for phones, GPS devices, cameras, etc., which are always changing. I sat at my desk and just plugged the flashlight into my phone to charge it. My phone's battery was at 94% and when I plugged in Luci it said it would take 13 minutes to charge the phone to 100%. So I feel like plugging your phone into an outlet to charge is quite comparable. I haven't tried solar charging either, so I apologize for not being able to comment on this feature. Loudspeaker: Functionally, the loudspeaker does its job well. It's not the cleanest sound when cranked up to full volume, but it works. Light: Light is probably my favorite gadget feature. The light was bright enough at 50% to illuminate a table in the dark for a game of cards (see photos). It's great that it could get a lot brighter, but it wasn't necessary, and increased battery life by 50% (bonus!). The colors create a wonderful atmosphere and are easily customizable via the app. Colors are super vibrant. I took some daylight shots on my office computer with a white background so you can see how vivid the colors can be. Travel accessories, in particular in connection with camping or mobile homes. It is compact, feature rich and easy to use. I didn't have to test its water resistance, but I'm very happy that it has this ability. I have little doubt that he will do his job well when threatened by water. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a speaker and/or light.
