Our take on the luminAID Nova

The LuminAID Nova is an inflatable solar lantern that packs flat to about an inch thick and puffs into a 4.75-inch cube weighing 5 ounces. It puts out 75 lumens on Turbo and runs up to 24 hours on Low, charging by USB in about an hour or by sun in 10 to 12 hours. It is IP67 rated and floats, so it works for camping, power outages and night swimming. Against rigid lanterns it trades peak brightness for portability and a solar option; against cheaper inflatable lanterns it adds USB charging and a higher waterproof rating.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Nova as a compact, dependable backup light rather than a main lantern. They like the flat pack, the quick USB top-up and the fact that it floats and survives rain. The common gripe is that Turbo is not very bright and solar charging is slow.

What people mention
  • BrightnessMixedOwners find Turbo adequate for a tent or table but not for lighting a whole site.
  • ChargingMixedUSB charging is quick, while solar charging takes most of a sunny day.
  • PortabilityPraisedIt flattens thin and weighs little, so it disappears into a pack or emergency kit.
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners report it floating and surviving rain and splashes without issue.
  • Battery lifePraisedLow mode lasts through a full night and beyond on a charge.

Questions and answers

How bright is the LuminAID Nova?
It reaches 75 lumens on Turbo, enough for a tent, table or hallway. It is not meant to light a large room or campsite on its own.
How long does it take to charge?
About an hour over USB, or 10 to 12 hours of direct sunlight. USB is the faster option when you have power.
Can it be used in the rain or in water?
Yes. It is IP67 rated and submersible to 1 meter, and it floats, so it suits pools, lakes and wet weather.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 24 hours on Low mode. Turbo drains it much faster, so plan on shorter runs at full brightness.
What comes in the box?
The lantern itself with its built-in lithium-ion battery and a USB charging cable. It needs no separate batteries.
Is it good for backpacking?
Yes, at 5 ounces and flat-packed it adds little weight. If you need to light a group area, pair it with a brighter lantern.
Where is the luminAID Nova cheapest?
At The Sporting Shoppe, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the luminAID Nova?
Rated 5 out of 5 from 1 ratings.
