The opinion of Aventure Nordique
Biolite's Luci Charge 150 is an inflatable, compact, lightweight solar lamp for lighting up bivouacs, outdoor activities and even the inside of your tent, hut, camper van... It's got it all! It takes up no space in your backpack, and is extremely easy to use.
On top, it features a solar panel that stores the sun's energy. For a full charge, simply expose it to direct sunlight for 14 hours (or 3 hours with the USB-C cable). After exposure, simply inflate and switch on.
Luci Charge 150 features 10 white LEDs that generate up to 150 lumens. These LEDs are powered by an integrated 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery. The lantern has 3 intensity levels: low, medium and high, plus a flashing mode. It's more than enough light for camping: reading, washing dishes, playing cards...
Inflatable vinyl floats in water and resists rain. The welds are strong and the whole unit is durable. The lamp is fitted with 2 straps for securing it just about anywhere. The upper strap with 2 snap fasteners is adjustable, making it easy to hang inside a tent, on guy wires or on a clothesline...
The lamp can also be used as a cell phone charger! It has two USB ports (USB-C and USB-A female) so you can connect any device to recharge it.
