Quite a novel idea. It’s basically a slim solar panel with battery and LEDs that is sealed into an inflatable plastic housing. When inflated the units goes from being very flat and easy to pack, to a modestly sized diffused hanging lantern. It puts out a useful amount of light at its low setting (ample to see and read by) and a lot more at its high setting. Guesstimated run times are around a day at low level, and around 8 hours at full output with gradual intensity reduction.
Output of the solar panel is around 50mA in ambient light and 100mA or more in full sunlight, giving a potential recharge time of between 8 hours upwards. I don’t recommend that it be left in full hot sunshine for too long to protect the internal cell from overcharging and heat.
