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.

Just Love Them
Its just the neatest product! I now have 5 in total. I used them alot! In my home at evening time to save on PGE and when i camp. They actually are a better and safer ambience than a candle plus safer. I now have started getting them for my family. Some are in fire zone areas and lose electricity alot in the summer time. They all have an emergency pack and their lights are part of that. Excellent product and highly recommend to everyone!
LuminAID
HI Olive, that's great! Thanks for sharing with us and you're definitely prepared with us!
United StatesEveryone should have a few & help donate to those without (if possible)
Excellent - I am looking forward to giving these as gifts. I know it does not seem exciting, but when the electricity goes out, they are like GOLD!
United StatesAwesome Lights!
These lights are great. Multi-level luminosity and charging from the sun. Can't go wrong.
United StatesGreat Lantern! A Must for Texans!!!
Much more rugged than I expected. Get one that can recharge phones. What you’ll save in batteries is good for the planet and your money. Perfect for hunting, camping, skiing, or any outdoor activity.
United StatesNight time reading WIN
Love these lanterns! My main purpose for buying them was for my children to use them when reading in bed at night. No more lost flashlights, endless changing of batteries or complaints of someone shining the light in their eyes! The battery holds a charge for many nights of reading & the option to dim the light or use red light reading(great for early risers who share a room).
LuminAID
They most certainly do Sarah! Thanks for sharing!
