6W Solar Rechargeable Camping Light AC and AA

The manufacturer's 3112A06-01 is a 6W solar rechargeable camping light, a portable lantern rather than a fixed fitting. It is bought by households as a blackout lamp, by traders and market stalls, and by anyone travelling, camping or working away from a supply.

Three ways of charging are built in. A solar panel is integrated into the lantern for topping it up outdoors, an AC110-220V 50/60Hz input allows a mains charge when there is power, and four AA batteries can be fitted as a fallback. The internal cell is an 800mAh lead-acid battery, and six LEDs provide the light. The unit measures 115mm across and 225mm tall, a size that fits a hand or a hook, and it is listed in blue and yellow.

Around the house it earns its place on a shelf until the power drops. Beyond that it is used in tents, on night fishing trips, in stores and back rooms, and on site as a working lamp. the manufacturer does not publish charging or discharging times for this lantern, so no runtime is quoted here; solar top-up in particular depends on how much direct sun the panel sees.
