The Suaoki Collapsible Clover Style 18 LED Camping Tent Lantern is a solar powered, eco-friendly camping lantern, best suited for tents. It comes with 18 LEDs, it can also be charged via USB, it folds and it is no bigger than a smartphone. It weighs only 0.37 pounds, thus extremely easy to store and carry, which makes it a valuable addition to your camping kit or your emergency kit. You can get it for under 20 bucks and it gets fully charged in 3 hours and a half in bright sun. It can be used both as a flashlight or a lantern, although the latter is recommended.
The Suaoki Clover Style 18 lantern was developed by Suaoki, a Chinese environmentally friendly company that offers a wide range of products ‘within the automotive, solar power and laser measurements fields’, as stated on their official website. Suaoki focuses a lot on reducing its carbon emission footprint and create portable, versatile and eco-friendly products.
The Suaoki Clover Style 18 LED Camping Tent Lantern is a solar, collapsible camping lantern with a clover design, perfect for lighting your tent when you’re out camping. It comes in green and in orange and each of its ‘clover leafs’ has mounted solar panels on the back. This is one of the most popular solar camping lanterns on the market and it can be fully charged in 3 and a half hours, if the sun is bright. The lantern can also be charged via USB. Another advantage of the lantern is its affordability. You can buy it online for under $20.
The lantern is very flexible and versatile and its three lampshades can be folded and adjusted to function independently and even work as a flashlight, lighting up at different angles. You can use it expanded, as a lantern, or compressed, as a flashlight. It is a very light weighted lighting device, just a bit bigger than a smartphone and when folded, it easily fits in any backpack. It is 2.47 X 5.9 inches closed and 11.47 X 1.067 inches when opened. It only weighs 0.37 pounds. The Clover lantern has a hook to hang it and 18 LEDs, 6 on each leaf. It comes with a micro USB cable. It gives a blue-white light (6,000-6,500 K) and it is best tailored for your tent and indoors than outdoors, but it can also be used for hiking and so. It’s just that the light it produces is not focused, but diffused, so you won’t be able to see that far ahead if you use it as a regular flashlight. However, you won’t have any problems reading in your tent, for instance.
The Suaoki Clover 18 has 3 operating modes: high, low and emergency (SOS blinking). On the high mode the lantern will last up to 2 hours, on the low mode – approx. 4 hours and on the emergency (SOS) mode – 2 hours. It has a built in smart protection chip that helps to keep it safe from overcharging or short-circuiting.
The Suaoki Collapsible Clover Style 18 LED lantern can be purchased on the Amazon for $18.99.
