Usigni Solar Lantern - Black & White

Description

DescriptionThe Usigni is a square solar lantern with a slim black frame and a white cylindrical shade at its centre, standing 28cm high, 15cm long and 15cm wide. The body is black plastic and the shade is white plastic, and a carry handle at the top of the frame lifts up for carrying. A solar panel sits in the top, and the light comes from an integrated LED that gives 300lm at 4000K, a neutral light rather than a warm amber. It is rated IP44, which means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors on a patio, a doorstep or a garden table.
Because it needs no mains supply, it goes wherever your evening does: beside the front door, on an outdoor dining table, at the edge of a terrace or along a garden path. The panel charges from daylight and does best in an open, sunny spot, so give it a place where the sky stays clear for most of the day. At 0.54KG it is light enough to carry by the handle from the porch to the table and back again, which suits anyone who likes to move their lighting around rather than fix it to a wall. On a front step it gives visitors a clear, neutral light at the door.
Both the frame and the shade are plastic, so the lantern stays easy to lift and move. An on/off switch lets you choose when it glows, and it also has a USB port. Because the LED is integrated, there is no bulb to change. Keeping the solar panel clear of leaves and dust helps it gather daylight, so a quick wipe now and then is worth the effort. The installation instructions come as a download, and we would keep them handy for the first evening of use.
