BioLite AlpenGlow Lanterns & Solar Charger — CleanTechnica Review
Recently, BioLite sent us some solar-powered camping lanterns to review, but I quickly found out that they’re a lot more than lanterns. They also double as toys for kids, mood lamps, party lights, phone chargers, and possibly even emergency signal lamps. The company also sent us a solar panel that charges the lanterns, as well as phones and its own built-in battery.The obvious first question for any rechargeable lantern is: Does it work well as a lantern? And that’s a definite yes.
As you probably know, militaries use chemlights for all sorts of things, including signaling, avoiding getting lost, and even games. With all of the options the AlpenGlow lights give you, there’s no reason they couldn’t serve in any of those roles. If you’re taking Boy Scouts or other youth groups into the woods, these would make great Capture The Flag targets, for example. If someone were to get lost, they could use one of these to signal their position and be easier to find.
Probably the coolest feature I noticed was the sight the panel has built in to get the most direct sunlight possible. I call it a sight because, like the sights on a gun, it helps you aim without needing any fancy measures.
