Kizen Outdoor Solar Lantern - Solar or Plug Rechargeable Lantern - Collapsible LED Light for Power Outages - Camping Essential Lamp for Tent Light, Hanging, or Flashlight

Much better quality than I expected. I love the “idea” of this little lantern being collapsible and having three levels of brightness, solar or USB-micro charging and a hanging loop. The way this lantern is manufactured makes it a great value and bargain compared to other, similar ones. Mine’s in bright yellow which will help me avoid leaving it behind somewhere, yet its portability is making me want to carry it around in my daypack or backpack routinely because it take up so little space. The light is blue/white and the lowest setting is great for my RV, where a little light goes a long way. Only thing missing is USB-C charging. It should be noted that it’s winter in the PNW where I am and I have not been able to see solar charging at work, but I’m eager to!

This is an extremely handy and efficient lantern. It does everything it claims to do. It's very compact when folded ... less than a hockey puck. The light is great as a flashlight or a lantern. It charges quickly, and the battery lasts a very long time.

This little camp light is great! It's perfect to hang up on a hook or in my case a tree branch when outdoors. The light came charged. I set it on my window sill for easy charging after using it. I really like that I can use it as a powerful, bright flashlight. An improvement when using it as a flashlight would be to make it easier to grip with ridges or something. It also is not a C charger so I'm unable to charge my phone with it. That's not an issue with me as I have other ways, but something to consider if that is one of the reasons for purchasing.

These are surprisingly good. I honestly didn’t expect them to be this useful, but they exceeded my expectations. They charge easily in partial to full sunlight and are very bright. I love that they can be expanded to light up an entire room or contracted down for easy transport. They were a remarkable addition to a live-action Dungeons & Dragons game we ran in a large, dark field—plenty of light, reliable, and convenient. Durable, practical, and well-designed. Strongly recommended!

This item was a great value for the price. It arrived quickly and was as advertised. The light is brighter than I expected and came already charged. I will definitely be ordering more for myself and as gifts. When compressed, the lantern is about the size of a hockey puck and can easily be carried in a purse or kept in a car glove box for emergencies.

I love this lantern. Good quality. Had for a couple years now and use it often. When I’m camping provides really good lighting for my area and I rarely use a charging cord. when the sun come up I leave it hanging and it recharges itself enough for the next night. Charges quicker if you use a cable and power source but I just put it in the sun most of the time. Lightweight for those try to pack light.

I bought one of these kizen solar lanterns several years ago. It is the coolest thing. I still use it. To charge it up I just set it on a sunny window ledge. It holds its charge for a long , long time. It's made well and the perfect size. It can be crunch down to fit in your pocket or it can be opened up to sit on a picnic table. They also have little handles so they can be carried. I liked it so much that I've ordered two more for my young granddaughters to take camping. They will be thrilled with them!

Wanted to love this but will be torn about buying another down the road or a different similar item. It does not charge well at all with the solar option so need to charge in advance of trips/camping. It wasnt quite as bright as similar items we’ve had in the past. I did like how lightweight and compact it can be and that was my biggest pro. It did work fine just not as bright as other comparable lanterns. If you want compact and easy to store though, this is a good option for that.

Good
