When you're done, just charge up the lantern with a micro-USB cable and you'll be set for your next adventure.
To buy: Taotronics Portable Lantern, amazon.com, $34 (originally $40)
Amazon shoppers are clearly big fans of this lantern, using it home and out on the road. "We bought this light to use in our vintage travel trailer when we were boondocking without power. I needed something portable, lightweight, bright, and safe to use indoors...The light is soft and warm. It reminds me of old fashion kerosene camping lanterns. One lamp easily lit our 12-foot by eight-foot camper at night (though it would have been tough to read by it if you were across the room from it). Two would be all you'd ever need in that size space. The dimmer feature is awesome! Works great for 'mood' lighting," one reviewer wrote.
Another shopper emphasized how handy this lantern is for outdoor use. "[I] was looking for something stronger than battery operated candles for use outside in a patio conversation seating area. This is a good looking alternative to flashlights and camping lanterns, and it provides nice even lighting without glare or bright spots."
