As Seen On Shark Tank!
The LuminAID Story
We were inspired to invent the LuminAID light after the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. We wanted to create something that could pack flat, was waterproof and long-lasting, and powered by the sun -- no batteries needed!
It's been a wild ride since then. You might have seen us on Shark Tank! We got our big break when we pitched the "Sharks" and made a deal with Mark Cuban.
To date, LuminAID lanterns have been used by nonprofits in over 100 countries, and we're proud to that our products are also used by consumers like you -- for camping, emergency preparedness, and backyard fun.

Bright enough to read by
We bought this lantern on a whim and were delighted by it. If you hang it from a tree or the top of your tent, it is bright enough to cook, clean or read by. Perfect for those stormy nights when you are forced to huddle inside a tent with a book or deck of cards. We have purchased one for each one of our family members for camping (or emergency kits.) They are lightweight and easy to store inside a backpack. We prefer the plain white, as it is slightly brighter and the kiddos are not constantly trying to change the colours.
United StatesFantastic Light
We have a number of these lights. Always available for power outages, Use when traveling or camping. They provide a lot of light for multiple nights on a single charge.
United StatesBought for self and friends
Love them. Put into everyone’s emergency kits. Was start of kits for 2 friends. This way, I don’t have to share mine. They work great, and I got a battery charger that runs off USB port.

Hi Joan, thanks for the great review and being disaster-ready!! I appreciate you sharing the gift of light.
United StatesAwesome Product!
I now own 8 of these marvelous lanterns...some with colors, some bright white and some that will charge my cell phone. I do a fair amount of trips in our RV over the course of the year and find these little gems to be marvelously compact and lightweight while providing enough lighting to do things around the campground after dark. We hang the colored ones from our awning for a nice colorful environment and easier finding of the RV after dark.

So far I have only used my lights for fun and given them as gifts. I know they will be great in an emergency because they are just generally fantastic.
