I regularly use the original LuminAID solar-powered lantern on my backpacking trips. Incredibly lightweight and requiring no extra batteries, these inflatable lanterns are super fun to use and a great way to light up your tent or campsite at night. The company followed up the original Solar Light with a 2x brighter version in the PackLite 16, but now LuminAid gets ready to release a lantern that is even lighter and more packable–the PackLite 12.
