Luci Original Clear

This inflatable lantern collapses to a one-inch disc when you're done with it, then expands to a glowing sphere when you need light. Recharge it by leaving it in the sun or plugging in a USB-C cable. Once charged, it runs for up to twenty-four hours depending on brightness.

Weighing four-and-a-half ounces and able to handle a hundred and fifty pounds of pressure, it won't break if you sit on it or toss it in a pack. The waterproof shell means you can use it in the rain, at the edge of a pool, or during a wash-down after a muddy trip.

Because it's solar-powered, you never need to stock batteries or hunt for an outlet when you're camping, hiking, or spending time outside. The clear construction lets you see the solar panel and LED array inside, and the whole thing folds flat enough to slip into a jacket pocket or hang from a tent loop.

Two charging methods give you options: set it out during the day to soak up sunlight, or plug it in before you leave. Either way, you get a reliable glow that lasts through an evening around the fire or a full night in a tent. The lantern works as a reading light, a tent ceiling fixture, or ambient lighting for a picnic table.

It handles being dropped, squished, or stuffed into a bag without complaint. When you're not using it, it stores almost flat, so it doesn't eat up space in a gear bin or glove box.
