No one wants to be stuck somewhere with a dead phone. LuminAID helps end that with the PackLite Max 2-in-1 Phone Charger. It’s a phone charger that works off solar power. But, that’s not all. It’s also a lantern that also works off solar power. The PackLite is inflatable, so it folds down to a miniscule 6 inches square by about 1 ½ inches thick. When inflated, the lantern gives off 150 lumens of light and 5 brightness settings. That’s enough to light up about 200 square feet. Don’t want to wait for the solar charge? This can also be charged via micro USB in just a couple hours. The PackLite isn’t only great for camping. It’s also great to have in case of emergencies. There’s a theory when travelling that you want to bring an extra carryon bag that rolls up, in case you find great treasures.
