I love that when I am primitive camping with my friends and family I can now keep my phone charged using this lantern. This feature is a must when I have my two young girls with me because I like having a charged phone with me in case of emergencies….or to look up and identify cool looking plants and wildlife we find on our hikes.

As the granddaddy of solar lamps the SunBell Solar Lamp & Phone Charger with it’s phone charging capabilities is a must! I just love seeing how solar power is advancing even in these small day to day devices!
