D.light S20 Solar Lantern, Orange

This is the fifth S20 lantern I have purchased - the others were gifts for family members. The lanterns are very good - well designed, seemingly well-built and do the job extremely well. Having dual-range light output is very helpful - sometimes you don't need a bright light and in this mode the battery lasts longer. They are also quite robust - we used them when attending to horses after dark and it was not uncommon for them to fall, or be dropped, onto wet and muddy pastures, all of which the lanterns survived.

I'm sailing around the world, currently in New Zealand after leaving the UK in 2013. I have tried many solar lights for anchoring or cockpit lighting but most died prematurely. When I flew back to the Uk in 2014 I bought two D-lights which have far surpassed anything else in terms of quality of light, battery performance and robustness. We hang one or two in the rigging at night when we're at anchor and use them to light the cockpit, in the morning three years on they still burn as brightly after 12 hours of darkness. On board our boat must be the toughest test anyone could put these lights through. They're out in all weather and just keep on working! These lights are fantastic, the best, unfortunately we lost one in a storm off Pitcairn in the South Pacific so I'm now buying two more and my son is bringing them out to the boat in April. Thank you for making such a great product.

I'd give it five stars but the difference in intensity between the soft and brighter light is difficult for me to tell. It charges up just fine in my windowsill and it's winter in the UK (not much light)! I have tried charging it with my mac and works just fine too. I'm quite impressed really however would be nice if the brighter light was more noticeably bright :)

this is a good light,iv gone from wind up lights then discovered soler powerd lights,iv had this for a while and I recommend it,hasnt let me down yet,...I use it as a nightlight,i think it lasts 6 or 7 hours,cant say exactly as im asleep wen it runs down but it gives of plenty of light and has 2 settings,it wont break easy,it arrived early and it isn't expensive....I love free electricity,this is a great nightlight, camping light and I recommend it.

So we were asked to bring these with us to Philippines after the super typhoon Haiyan. This was one of the items people needed there as most of the power has been lost (and a lot of villages don't have any electricity at all as they are on remote islands). When we arrived, we didn't have any power for a week, so we used these lanterns at night before donating them to the locals upon leaving. Great product - it has 2 light settings, and also can be hung or mounted. I would definitely recommend as an alternative to a standard battery powered torch as it recharges itself during the day. No expensive batteries needed.

Seemed okay, bit smaller than I thought it would be BUT it did not work. Returned for refund.

I would consider it again even though the big could be a bit bigger. It is bright enough during the dark night.

I bought this for my Dad and he loved it. It was one of his prized possessions until he passed in 2020

This is a welcome addition to my camping gear. Pros: - Very light and much more convenient to carry around than other lanterns of comparable size. - Worked for hours every night for a week straight and was easy to recharge. I just used a carabiner to clip it onto the outside of my tent each morning. I really enjoy not having to worry about lugging around extra batteries during camping trips. - I usually worry about losing track of all my different cords for my different devices, but for this lantern, I just stuck the cord inside of the cup-like bottom portion of the lantern. This did not seem to affect how well the lantern lit up its surroundings in any way and I never have to wonder where the heck I put the cord. - Perfect for lighting up a 2 person tent or setting down on a small table between two camp chairs. This lantern is not as bright as other battery powered lanterns, but I see this as a plus. While out camping, I do want to see my immediate surroundings, but I don't want a glaring light destroying my night vision and making it hard to see the stars above or the trees around me. Plus, since the bulb is actually up against the top portion of the lantern and mostly hidden from direct view, I'm not blinded each time I happen to face it. Also, I don't like having a really bright light on constantly, especially when there are people in neighboring campsites. I feel that having a blazing white electric beacon kind of destroys the night time forest ambiance. That's the kind of thing we go camping to escape, right? Besides, when I need to see something more clearly, I can just pull out my flashlight. Cons: - Although the light weight of this lantern makes it easy to carry around and hang up, it does mean that it is very easy to knock over if set on a table or on the ground. I suppose it being top heavy doesn't help. I don't see this being a problem if used in the home. But when out camping on uneven ground where level surfaces are pretty much nonexistent, I found myself having to often pick it up and stand it up straight again. But really, the pros outweigh this little con.

Great product and very rugged. I was not sure about the light level as I have the larger unit already but this one was very bright and easy to charge and use. The size is very convenient and it is almost indestructible. The two levels of light provide good options. If you can pay the extra also go for the S300 model as it has more functions and higher light levels to use in tents or RVs and in larger areas. This is good for personal use or two people close together. The larger lantern is a good purchase too.

Good prodect

These lanterns are unbelievable reliable. Bought 4 in 2012 and they are still going strong. They have been dropped by little kids, left in heat and cold, rained on and still going. Very bright for such a small light and light will last all night into the morning hours and beyond on low setting. Also, it charges on cloudy days so you do not need full direct sunlight. Only thing I would recommend changing is making the light on the warmer tone - a bit too cool blue for my taste. Cool tones like that have a kind of zombie apocalypse vibe imo, but I can’t knock off any stars for that reason. Get a few for emergencies or if you live in an area that loses power - you won’t regret it. Also, part of sales go to a good cause. Good company and awesome product.
