Rechargeable Solar Camping Lantern, 20000 mAh, IP66

A pitch goes dark long before the last mug is washed up, and a torch on the table is no help. This solar camping lantern holds a lithium battery, takes charge from its panel or a Type-C cable, and can pass power to a phone. For campers, van trips and power cuts.

A lantern that also tops up a phone

✅ Charges away from a socket A polycrystalline panel does the work in daylight, and a Type-C port covers the grey days.

✅ Supper on the camp table It lights the cooking, the plates and a paperback afterwards, and the brightness turns down for the last hour.

✅ A dead phone at a festival The lamp can pass power out, so a handset with an empty battery gets a charge from the lantern.

✅ Rain on the pitch The ABS body carries an IP66 protection level, so a wet evening does not have to end early.

✅ An evening, not a week The maker quotes 7 to 18 hours from the lithium battery, depending on how bright you run it.

On a pitch the lantern sits on the table while people eat, then moves to the tent for the last hour. The body is ABS, the light comes from 264 LEDs, and a single version is offered, so there is no size or colour to choose between.

The difference from a torch is spread: a torch puts a beam where it is aimed, while a lantern fills the space around it. That is why it suits a table, a porch or a small tent rather than a walk down an unlit lane.

Two things to settle before ordering. The first is runtime: 7 to 18 hours is the maker's range, and the bright end of it is the shorter one. The second is the box: the lantern and its battery are the confirmed contents, and a Type-C cable is not stated either way, so have a lead you know works.

The output is the part that earns it a place at home as well as outdoors: with the mains off, the same battery that runs the light can charge a phone.
