Key features

The solar lantern SOLUX-LED-100 provides 4-6 hours of light daily for working, reading and leisure time. It is suitable for the daily use in harsh environments. The solar lantern gets charged with a solar module: simply plug the cable from the solar module into the charger socket and place the solar module into the sun. By purchasing a SOLUX-LED-100 you avoid buying consumable supplies like kerosene for lanterns, batteries for flash lights, or candles.
