MPOWERD Luci Pro Outdoor 2.0: Inflatable Lantern Rechargeable via Solar and USB-A + Phone Charger, 150 Lumens LEDs + Clear Finish, Lasts Up to 48 hrs, Waterproof, Camping, Backpacking, Emergencies

With the possibility of energy cuts this winter and on seeing a number of video reviews, my wife and I decided to buy one with the intention or buying a second if the first turned out to be as good as the reviews suggest. We weren't disappointed and ordered a second so that we have one each and can move about our home independently in the event of a blackout.Usage revealed only one shortcoming, i.e. the two pressurebuttons are almost impossible to locate in the dark. The fitting of a sticky backed inexpensive clear soft plastic 10mm dome over each button provided our solution, we can easily locate and press the buttons in the dark now and the icons on each button can be viewed through the clear dome. I use mine as a bedside light and simply recharge it from sunlight through a south facing window or by using mains power via the supplied USB lead.As a footnote: expanding the light is a matter of separating parts of the side wall that have stuck together in compression when packed. A little tedious but better than trying to inflate it by mouth which, in my opinion, is a bad idea because it introduces moisture from breath that will be very difficult to remove. Just a little breath when it is opened and the side wall becomes taut. In spite of this, it's a five-star product.

On it's brightest setting it lasted 5 nights, bright enough to read by. Each night on for 4 hours. I charged via USB before leaving home. It doesnt auto charge in sunshine- you have to press the lightening symbol i guess when leaving outside.

No complaints

Brilliant blow up LED lantern and the additional USB slot for charging items should come in handy too.

The light works well but the charging point does not work with my phone cable and there is no way of contacting the vendor to find out how to solve this. I bought a brand new charging cable and that doen't work either. I have tried to return it via 2 drop off points. I have been sent a code and a label. they won't accept it as I should have several pages of paper work which Amazon has not sent.

Charged them all day long both by sun and plug in. I have 2 of them. I bought them because it said 110 hours of light. At fully charged, it last 2 hours. TWO.

I charged this up on the mains before going camping and the light was bright and it charged my phone the first night from 50% to 100%. Put the light out in bright sunshine the following day and the indicator said it was charged but whilst the light worked it would not charge my phone. Charged it in the sun every day afterwards for the whole day but still would not charge my phone. When I got home I tested it by plugging it in to charge and after that it would charge the phone. Solar charge is therefore not sufficient to get enough energy to charge a phone but will give off a good light. Is therefore good as a light only but avoid if you want this item as a charger.

Incredibly powerful solar light. Perfect for camping, emergencies and reducing mains consumption. It is expensive, but worth the price, as it really works. Three settings, plus the usual flashing light (not sure why), and mobile charging point too. Can be used to get around the house just on the lowest setting and on the highest, it's easy to read by. Two useful handles, so you can use it one way up to illuminate a space, or turn it the other way up to show you where you are putting your feet. Or hang it up. An inflatable light does sound a bit daft, but drop it and it won't break, it packs down flat for transporting, and can be used safely around water and in wet weather. Waiting to see how long it will last...other than that unknown, it is literally brilliant.
