The BioLite Luci Solar Inflatable Lantern range blends lightweight design with off-grid reliability, offering a simple, smart solution for anyone who needs light without wires, outlets, or disposable batteries.
These inflatable lanterns are solar-powered, ultra-portable, waterproof (and float) and are surprisingly versatile. They’re ideal for camping, emergency kits, van life, or just bringing extra glow to your backyard evenings.
From ambient candlelight flicker mode to high-output utility lighting, each model serves a unique purpose.
Here are three lanterns in the range that I have been trying out for the last few months.

The Luci Charge 360 is your go-to for off-grid power and high-output lighting. It delivers up to 110 hours of cool white light and doubles as a USB power bank to top off your phone or small electronics.
Ideal for multi-day trips or blackout situations when staying connected matters.
