How long does it run on a full charge?

About 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether you use the 1W LED spot or the COB flood panel. The COB panel draws more, so expect the shorter end of that range.

Plug the included micro-USB cable into the port for a full charge in about 3 hours, or leave it in sunlight and the polysilicon panel tops it up. Solar charging is slower than USB.

Is it bright enough for a campsite?

It puts out 250 lumens with a range of about 5 meters. That covers a tent interior, a table or a small area; it will not light a whole campsite like a larger multi-panel lantern.

Can I use it while it charges?

The light works from its internal 18650 battery, so you can run it while it is plugged into USB or sitting in the sun. Runtime is still limited by the small 1200 mAh cell.

No water-resistance rating is given. Keep it out of rain and standing water, and treat it as an indoor or sheltered outdoor light.

The lantern and a USB charging cable. The 18650 battery is inside the light; no wall adapter is included.
