Build quality
Small and mighty, this lantern is great quality and folds up neatly to protect the solar panels on the inside. This Solar and USB Rechargeable Camping Lantern is  made from high quality plastic, with a frosted dome front to help diffuse the light and make it more ambient.

Materials
We’re particularly impressed by the frosted front, which spreads the considerable light evenly, so that it doesn’t hurt your eyes, or focus the light on any one spot. The whole thing is made from durable plastic. Another great contender in our review of best solar lanterns.

Features
There are two solar panels inside this lantern, which you’ll find by folding the thing open and laying it flat. Around 8 hours of charge will buy you up to 40 hours of light, if you use the light on its lowest setting. There’s a solid handle on top the lamp for hanging, and because it’s so compact, it travels well even in small rucksacks.
