What Customers Are Saying
★★★★★
Works great!
"We were a little skeptical about purchasing this product. How could something that lightweight, made out of plastic, possibly be any good? But we were very surprised. It gives us more light in our van than the van lights do. We used it all week before having to recharge."

Gave to my Mom
"I gave my mom the LuminAid Solar Lantern as a gift for Christmas because she loves camping. She has already used it and loves the lantern. It has different brightness levels and packs away super easily. Highly recommend!"

How to Inflate Your Lantern
Buttons and Indicator Lights
Use the Power Button to turn on your lantern, cycle through the lighting modes, and turn it off.
Use the Battery Button to check the battery charge level.
The Charge Indicator LED lights up when the solar panel is in light. It will shine brightly when your lantern is getting a strong charge.
How to Recharge Your Lantern
There are two ways to recharge your lantern:
1. Charge it outdoors by solar power. This should take 16-20 hours in direct sun. During the winter, or in overcast weather, solar charging will take longer.
Note: We do not recommend solar charging indoors or in a car, as windows will block the portions of light needed for solar charging. Do not leave your LuminAID on a car dashboard. A hot car can exceed the safe temperature range for this product.
2. Charge it indoors by USB input. Use the micro-USB recharging cable that came with your lantern. This should take 2-4 hours.
Tip: When the red Charge Indicator LED is shining brightly, that means your lantern is getting a strong charge!
