Recently, I received two super bright lights to review – a lantern that plays a dual role of a LED light and a power bank, and a bright LED hat clip. Both these lights are very useful for someone who loves the outdoors.
I’ve never seen a lantern with an USB port! Just imagine, on your next camping trip, you could connect your tablets or smartphones to this lantern to recharge them. Even though, during vacations many of us want to stay away from internet connectivity, just having this extra power source available at the finger tips is a nice thing to have. You could always use the power to charge your devices for maps, and other vacation planning. It operates on either 3 AA batteries or 2 rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and these batteries come with the package. The lantern is recharged via the USB port. It has four different modes of lights – high, low, red and flashing red. Overall, it is quite compact enough to be stored in an emergency kit, or used during a camping trip. Check it out in Amazon!
The hat clip is perfect for all activities where you need to have your hands free in the dark. It is quite easy to use, all you have to do is clip it to your cap. There is a little button that you press to turn it on and off. Since it is an LED light, I’m assuming the batteries will last for a long time. The light itself is very light, and I could not feel it on my cap. It did not fall off especially when I was bending forwards. I found this very useful when I had to look for things without having to hold onto the torch light. It is very bright, you might not want to direct it to someone’s eyes! I personally think this is another nice product to have around the house!
I need a power source like this whenever I travel. Even if I’d want to be detached, the phone is still a security blanket you have in case something comes up.
Mobile fanatics would love this product and that is one of me, I am saving for this one this year.
This is just amazing. It will be perfect during camping and those long road trips. I can’t stay unplugged for a long time
I should check this out! I’m starting to get annoyed with my headlamp for running because it keeps slipping on my head.
haha bringing them camping was he first thing that came to mind! But this is awesome i def need to get one before our next trip!
Love it, I think I need one of these for camping!
The first thing that came to mind with these is having light during power outages. Spring time in the US can bring tons of storms which knock out lights for hours or sometimes days. These are good to have on hand.
I really like the idea of the lantern being able to charge devices!
This would be great for a camping trip, these are great products. Love being able to test new products out.
Wow! Clever ideas. I bought a lantern in amazon but never had the ups port. I would definitely consider this lantern if ever I will buy another one.Thanks for sharing.
The lantern with a USB port is genius! We tend to lose power a lot during the summer, so tis would be a life saver. I can also send my hubby with this when he takes our boys camping so I won’t have to worry about being out of touch with them. Genius!
We are thinking of trying to camp this year so this would be a great tool to have. I will check this out!
The rechargeable lantern is something that I could totally use. In fact, everyone should have this in their car for emergencies because you never know when you might need it.
These are great stuff! Perfect as gifts especially to the boys. I love both of them. It’s really amazing how creative people can get making our lives easier. ☺☺
I’m gonna have to show this hat clip to my husband! I’m sure he could really use this!
this is something that would be great as a gift for all the guys in my life.
At first read, I thought oh great idea taking that lantern camping! But you are right, if we went camping I would want no electronics! Still useful though, thanks!
My brother is big into camping, so that lantern would be a perfect gift for him. Both of these are awesome products and will make life outdoors much easier.
These products are super cool! I really like the one that allows you to charge your phone on the go and doubles as a light 🙂
