00:00Ok, so last winter my power went out for 3 days straight, and I learned real fast that a phone
00:04flashlight is not a lighting plan.
00:07Since then I've kind of gone down a rabbit hole testing solar lanterns, the collapsible ones, the hand crank ones,
00:12the ones that promised the moon and die in an hour.
00:15Today I'm running through the 5 best camping solar lanterns for power outages, and I hunted down the best deals
00:21I could find on every single one of these.
00:24Let's get into it.
00:26Starting off with the V-Ho Emergency Solar Camping Light, and honestly this one shocked me.
00:31It's a collapsible lantern, you pull it open and it lights up, you push it down and it's off, which
00:36means kids can operate it, and it packs completely flat in a glove box.
00:41It's fully waterproof, so leaving it out on the picnic table in the rain is a non-issue, and it
00:46charges off the sun or USB.
00:48The wild part is the price, $9.33.
00:53Almost $5,000 sold with a 4.8 rating.
00:56For under $10, buy three and stash one in the car, one in the kitchen drawer, one in the camping
01:02bin.
01:03Easiest recommendation on this list.
01:06Next up is the powerful solar LED camping lamp, and this is the one you grab when you want serious
01:11output.
01:12This thing throws real light, not a soft glow, actual room-filling brightness that'll light up a whole tent or
01:18a kitchen during a blackout.
01:20It's waterproof, USB rechargeable as a backup to the solar panel, and it holds a charge for ages sitting on
01:26a shelf.
01:27It runs $48.67, so it's a step up in price, but you're paying for brightness and build quality here.
01:34Over $4,000 sold at a 4.6 rating.
01:37If you camp a lot or you want one lantern that genuinely replaces a light fixture, this is your pick.
01:44Third is the solar lantern camping battery-operated light, and the reason this one made the cut is flexibility.
01:50It's got solar, it's got USB, and it takes batteries.
01:54That's three ways to keep it running, which matters a lot on day four of an outage when the sky's
01:59been gray and nothing's charging.
02:01It doubles as a flashlight too, so you get a focused beam for walking outside plus lantern mode for sitting
02:06around.
02:0817.84, 4.7 rating, over $4,000 sold.
02:12This is the one I'd actually put in an emergency kit, because redundancy is the whole point of an emergency
02:18kit.
02:19Number 4 is the solar camping lantern USB rechargeable, and this is the premium option at $68.54.
02:26Now, I know, that's a real chunk of change for a lantern, but this is a backpacking-grade piece of
02:31gear.
02:32It's genuinely rugged, properly waterproof, lightweight for what it is, and it holds a 4.8 rating from over 4
02:39,000 buyers, which is not easy to do at that price.
02:42If you're the person who hikes in, camps hard, and needs something that will not quit on you three miles
02:47from the trailhead,
02:48this is worth the money.
02:50If you just want a light for the hall closet, skip it, but if you know, you know.
02:54And rounding it out at number 5, the solar camping lantern with 8 modes, which might be my favorite everyday
03:00pick.
03:018 lighting modes means you've got a bright white for emergencies, a warm dim setting for reading in the tent,
03:06and even ambient modes for the patio or the backyard.
03:10It's portable, waterproof, and it looks nice enough that you'll actually leave it out on the deck instead of hiding
03:15it in a closet.
03:171689 with a 4.8 rating and over 4,000 sold.
03:21It's a lantern that earns its space all year, not just during a storm.
