Review on Kizen Collapsible LED Solar Lantern for Camping - Rechargeable Lanterns for Hiking, Backpacking, Outdoor Adventures - Portable Water Resistant Solar Lamp - Yellow by Derrick Lowell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A decent little flashlight for camping or hiking trails.

Cute little camping lights. There are several pros and cons. PROS - The price is good for what you get. Flashlights work well as fill lights in small spaces or as a compact flashlight that fits in your pocket. They have two levels of brightness and an emergency flash. They do not require batteries as they can be recharged. There is an LED charge indicator that glows red when charging and green when charging is complete. They come with a charging cable that works with a cell phone charger that has a USB port. There is also a built-in solar panel for charging. They can provide enough power for a cell phone to make an emergency call. They fold up for storage and take up very little space and are very easy to carry in a backpack or jacket pocket. CONS - An accordion style diffuser will most likely not last very long before it starts to crack. This won't decrease usage at first, but once cracked fully it will split the lantern in two. They take quite a long time to charge from a cell phone charging brick. I'm not sure how long the solar panel will last, but I suspect the same.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Safety
