Quite possibly the last lantern you'll ever need
The LuminAID Solar-Powered Inflatable Lantern is the result of two students who wanted to make a difference following the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Originally designed to fulfill the basic needs for light in disaster situations, LuminAID is waterproof, floats, folds flat, recharges in hours, weighs a mere 3 ounces, and provides up to 16 hours of high-powered LED illumination.

The LuminAID Solar-Powered Lantern is an essential outdoor tool.
Folds flat, charges on-the-go
Simply fold the LuminAID flat, clip it to the outside of your backpack, and you'll have enough charge for a full night of illumination. The high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel fully recharges in 6-7 hours of sunlight.

Simply clip the folded-up LuminAID to your backpack for on-the-go charging.
Designed for the elements
LuminAID is made from semi-transparent and puncture-resistant TPU. It's a hybrid material that lies somewhere between hard plastic and soft silicone. It's very dense, but smooth so it slides easily in and out of pockets.
Oh, it's also water-proof up to 1 meter deep and when inflated, it floats. It's awesome.

The LuminAID is waterproof up to 1 meter deep. And it floats!
Tough vinyl is built for adventure
Weighing in at a mere three ounces, LuminAID isn't going to slow you down. Its three attachment points and handle make it a great camping tool. And its tough vinyl exterior ensures a long life of outdoor adventures.

Hang the inflatable LuminAID Solar-Powered Lantern just about anywhere.
Dual brightness settings
Press the red button on the LuminAID's panel to cycle between low and high brightness.
Use the high setting for reading and performing simple tasks (8-10 hours of illumination). Switch to the long-lasting low setting for safety or as a night light (14-16 hours of illumination).

The LuminAID offers two brightness settings.
Ideal for emergency preparedness
When folded flat, LuminAID is about the size of a cellphone. It retains a full charge for up to 4 months when stored, so we highly recommend keeping one in your emergency kit or glovebox.

Because the LuminAID holds a full charge for up to 4 months,
it's a perfect addition to your emergency kit or car's glovebox.
