BioLite Luci Charge 360

The lantern that recharges itself. An inflatable, collapsible body with a solar panel on top, it folds flat for a pack and charges in the sun during the day, with USB-C as a backup. At 360 lumens it is noticeably brighter than most solar lanterns, which usually trade output for packability. It runs around 110 hours on low and five on high, is rated IP67 and weighs about 10 ounces. The 4,000 mAh battery can top up a phone in a pinch. Be realistic about the sun, though: the panel is small and solar recharging is slow, so a few cloudy days will run it down. The body is also more prone to punctures than a hard-shell lantern.
