In the collapsed position, it's a little difficult for me. The trick, it appears, is to twist it slightly at the end to make it lock.

The lamp's battery will slowly charge indoors near a bright window or under a lamp as long as it is exposed to sunlight. You can also use a USB to micro-USB cable to charge it. usb plug. Similarly, once charged, you can use a usb cable (with the appropriate adapter) to charge your phone, tablet, or other electronic device while using the charged lamp. I haven't tried the charging feature, so I'm not sure how much it will charge.
This device has two USB ports: the larger type-A port and the smaller type-B port. You'll be charging your phone through port A. Just use a regular USB cable to connect to whatever Apple is using these days, and you'll be fine. The miniature version is smaller. The solarlightbattery is only charged by A.

Take a look at the photo of the inlet. Otherwise, it's fine; it even charges my phone, though at a snail's pace. br>I just noticed that the solar panel has a crack or fissure in it. I'm not sure what effect it will have on the performance! br>Overall, I don't want to be concerned about whether the product will function properly.
A charging cable is included in the package. Solar power is an excellent option. Slowly charges my iPhone using solar energy and the on-board charger. the battery on the circuit board Overall, a fantastic value for money. It's well-made and doesn't appear to be of low quality. I primarily use it as a lantern, but the flashlight function is useful, and I like that I can leave it in the sun during the day and still have plenty of battery power at night. On a full charge, it claims to last for 40 hours. If you're only using the light, I can't imagine you running out of battery. If I used the flashlight battery as a phone charger, I'm not sure how much charge it would add to my phone. Perhaps I'll put it to the test to see what happens and then update this review. But since that's not why I bought it, I'm not sure I'll ever know. I'll be purchasing two more for use in the event of a power outage or a bug-out bag.
I don't like having to replace batteries all of the time, even if they are rechargeable. One of these was purchased by my eldest son, and he absolutely adores it. br>br>I bought one and have been using it every night since after charging it for two days. It's great if you give it a full day's charge. I like that I can control the amount of light that comes out of the lamp by opening and closing it. I haven't used it for anything other than reading, so I can't comment on how well it charges. (It's possible I'll do it when I need to charge my phone, which happens about once a month. ) )br>br>The color is a little off-kilter. putting. A black or dark green would be my preference, but that is purely personal.
Create a new product! Collapsing the lantern is extremely difficult, especially for a woman with small hands. Compressing and turning it requires a great deal of strength. We finally figured out how to collapse it more easily after many attempts. I used a non-profit organization as an example. affix a rubber pad to the table - the kind that's used to open jar lids The lantern was then placed on top of that non-existent object. I slipped the rubber disc over the lantern, placed my hand on top of it, and compressed it with my body weight. I turned the top of the lantern clockwise to keep it compressed after it was compressed and while still holding my weight on it to keep it compressed. This was the ONE and ONLY way I could keep it shut! There are a couple of exceptions to this rule. I tried gluing rubber dots to the lantern's base, but they didn't seem to provide enough non-slip protection. As described above, slippage is used to compress it. Overall, it's a neat little lantern that provides a lot of light in a small space.
It's simple to use, has a bright light, and it's nice to know you'll have something to light the way when the power goes out or when you're on a camping trip. When I called the company and asked how long a "charge" would last if it wasn't used, he replied, "Indefinitely!" despite his surprise. I didn't buy this to plug in wireless "toys," but rather to have light when the power goes out, which has happened to me on several occasions. Not fun. The only thing I'd change in my house is to have a Gas Range, because when the power goes out, you can't even make a hot drink. However, there are items like the Kelly Stove, which uses ANYTHING in the bottom part as fuel: twigs, paper, dry leaves, etc. water in the top half, and at the very least, a hot cup of tea or coffee can be had in an emergency.
My niece was going on a camping trip with her class and needed supplies, so I bought her a lantern. When she saw it, she said it might not come in handy, but when she got home from her trip, she said she used it all the time because the light was really bright and lasted a long time. Even her teacher was impressed because she used it to charge her phone with no problem, and it lasted the entire trip. Now I own one for myself and keep it in my emergency bag.
Produces a large amount of light when compressed as a flashlight or when opened as a lantern. I've already used it three times since I bought it a few weeks ago. It irritates me to be micromanaged. The solar panel on the bottom is a joke in terms of size, so I'm not even bothering to try to charge it that way. I just hope it's properly wired to charge whatever I need when I need it. My main gripe with this light is that it's difficult to secure it when compressed. To secure it, you must twist it to the point where the plastic will most likely break. It must also be twisted to keep it closed; otherwise, it will pop open. When fully charged, it holds a charge well and is easy to read. This is an excellent piece of technology to have on hand in the event of an emergency. br>It does, however, work flawlessly. For now.
I saw glowing YouTube videos and read glowing Amazon reviews. . . but the two I ordered were broken when I received them. . . this had nothing to do with the lights working. . . parts were broken when I opened the box. That right there tells you. . . they're the same $8 solar lanterns you've seen advertised elsewhere, in my opinion. It's most likely the same factory. I honestly have no idea. . . but for this amount of money, I would expect no problems and excellent quality. Their marketing is where they put their effort, not in the product, which had a broken handle and parts rolling around inside for $35 each. This is not going to work.
