Finally! An Awsome (and Inexpensive) Solar Lantern


When the power goes out, this is the lantern I will be reaching for! You have probably read about the socially-responsible company that makes these little gems, but had no idea they were available for purchase.

This product came out of Stanford University's Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability program. The company's goal is to replace every kerosene lantern in the world with safer, brighter, and more affordable lighting and they are making a difference in the lives of many people.

I love supporting a company with such a noble cause. But it's a win-win situation because they have developed a product that is much-needed right here, too. When the power goes out, I would rather not have to worry about worn-out batteries or dangerous candles.

This little lantern puts out an amazing amount of light. The handle makes it easy to hang or provides support for setting it on a level surface. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this little lantern. I will certainly be ordering more!

The D.light Kiran Solar LED Lantern is available at Amazon.
