Solar Lantern Water Bottle Thingy
The range of solar gadgets coming on to the market never seem to end and this design stands out a little bit. A water bottle that also doubles as a lantern to light your way.
The LightCap 300 combines ideas is something we love, dual use gadgets combining elements of great ideas in to one practical unit. BPA or Bisphenol A is a nasty additive that is used to make plastics and this bottle is BPA free to add that extra bit of ensuring safety.
The light weight water bottle can securely keep liquids safe from leaking out and can double act as a waterproof container. This second use is something we need and like. Too often we are out on the beach and the water seems inviting. With this water proof container we can empty our maps, money or even candy bar in to the waterproof container. Hanging by a strap around our neck or wrist we can enjoy a little cooling off in the sea and keep out belongings safe and dry.
But the primary purpose is a water bottle and it does that well, having a 1 llitre capacity is enough to quench any thirst. In dual purpose mode acting as a lantern this will keep illuminating your camp for up to 10 hours when using white light. Switching this to red light can nearly double the time between charges to 18 hours.
Why Red Light, using red light at night helps to protect your night vision mode. You may have noticed when you enter a dark space such as a cave your eyes take some time to adjust. Red light helps prevent this should you need to wander a little from the lantern then you will still be able to see.
The light source is our favourite, LED. Low energy consumption and bright illumination cut down on the need for larger means of producing the energy. This as you may already have guessed is solar energy. LED lighting and solar energy are a great combination and work well in this water bottle. So out camping or trekking for the adults or as a safe night light for kids this multiuse water bottle might fit your needs.
