Description
Our solar lantern is a tall, slim cylinder standing 32.5cm high and 12.5cm across, with a black top and base framing a body in a golden brown and grey woven cane pattern. The pattern is pierced with rows of small openings, so the glow of the integrated LED spills out through the weave and throws a soft pattern of its own. The LED gives a warm white 3000K glow at 1lm, which makes this a lantern for atmosphere rather than a reading light. A solar panel sits in the lid and charges from daylight, and it does best in an open, sunny spot.
Because it needs no plug and no socket, you can set it wherever the daylight reaches: a bright windowsill, a conservatory table or a sideboard near a sunny window. The rope handle and a weight of just 0.4KG make it easy to lift and carry, so it can charge by the glass through the day and move to the dining table or beside the sofa for the evening. The earthy brown and black colouring sits comfortably with natural wood, linen and houseplants, and the cane look brings a relaxed, sunny-holiday feel to a steel and plastic body. It suits anyone who likes a gentle glow after dark without needing a wall switch.
The body is made of steel and plastic, with a black lid and base and a thick rope handle held at each end by a metal fitting. It runs on one AA NiMH battery of 600mAh, which the panel tops up from daylight, and an on/off switch lets you decide when the lantern glows. As the LED is integrated, there is no bulb to buy or change. For the best results, give the lid as much daylight as you can each day, and use the switch to turn the lantern off on nights when you do not need it.
