LuminAID solar lanterns and power lanterns can be recharged by solar power, or by micro-USB input.

A micro-USB recharging cable is included with each device.

For charge times and run times for each model, visit our Product Specs page.

You can solar charge your LuminAID in cloudy or overcast weather, but be aware that it will take longer to charge. We do not recommend solar charging indoors, because windows will filter light and reduce charging efficiency.

LuminAID's 2-in-1 Power Lantern models charge phones. The basic solar lantern models (Nova, Spectra, and Firefly) do not charge phones.

The Nova, Spectra, and Firefly solar lantern models all weigh 5oz.

The Nova, Spectra, and Firefly solar lantern models inflate into a 4.75" cube.

They pack flat to 4.75" x 4.75" x 1.0" for easy storage and charging on-the-go.

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.

The solar lanterns made by LuminAID Are top notch!  I’ve ordered three different styles, and they all work beautifully. It’s great that you can charge them both electronically, and with the power of the sun—helps out in the winter months. I use them camping, hiking, in my home, and when I travel. I especially like that there are two models that you can charge your phone with as well in case of emergency. I have given numerous lanterns as gifts because they’re so practical and useful.  And they give me peace of mind, knowing that I have a light source and potentially charging sores during emergencies. The added benefit is that this company has helped so many people needing disaster relief. Their products allow children to do homework  In places where there is no electrical grid. I love supporting them!
