The Sunking Solar Lantern is an innovative
product of Greenlight Planet an India based company. They are cheap and durable
Lanterns that easily replace the kerosene lamps that have been in existence for
years.
The models produced by the company includes:
Eco, Solo, Mobile and Pro 2. They come with a
small detachable solar panel and five-meter length cable which makes it easy to
install on a roof, extend to an area of the house that has long hours of sun ray
coming through (I actually installed one on the roof of a relative and let the
cable in through the window netting).
For
the two I use at home (both Eco model), the two solar panels are permanently
kept at my Kitchen window; it gets sufficient sunlight daily to charge the
lanterns for prolonged use – up to 18 hours at medium brightness.
The
lantern comes with a well thought of detachable metallic stand that makes it
easy to place on a table, hang on the wall or place at your own chosen surface.
It also has a strap which enables one carry it around like a torchlight if you
choose to detach the lantern from the stand.
The
ingenuity of the designer is further brought to the fore in the Mobile charging option
included in the Mobile and Pro 2 models.
