When I go camping, I do my best to keep things as low-tech as possible. After all, half the point of spending a few nights in the wilderness is to get away from people and technology. Of course there are a few essential pieces of equipment that are almost a necessity (no, I’m not talking about your iPhone). One of these is definitely a lantern of some sort. I have a batter-operated one, which does the job, except when I forget to bring a spare battery.
If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly way to shed some light on your camping trip, you might want to check out this K-Light LED Lantern from PiSAT Solar. Instead of using a large throw-away battery or even burning oil for light, it gets its juice from the sun. A large solar panel is included, which is big enough to net you 1-2 hours of light per hour of clear sunlight. You can choose from high or low settings which uses 16 and 8 LEDs respectively. The $50 price is really reasonable, especially when I’ve seen regular LED lanterns go for almost as much.

All a bit high tech for my liking. I like camping with the old paraffin lamps where you have to scrabble around in the dark for a match!
That match can cause forest fires and danger, this generation we need this kind of stuff not only it's safe but it is environmentally friendly and can save mother earth.
These days everything seems to be going solar.
Definitely useful for a camping trip and fishing too, good to hear that it is eco friendly this gadgets are must use.
Very handy piece of camping gear and it is good for the environment as well, can't beat that.
That is a nifty gadget, I could use one or two of those outside around my hot tub.
