I am interested in 1 please. Thank you!
Right? sometimes i like DBSAR’s pics for his bar 
It’s probly not possible but a remote control would be handy so that it can be controlled if it is in a awkward or high position.

Hello.
I am new to this forum. I am amazed that so much people are interested in lamps, but this lantern looks good.
I am interested in buying 2 lanterns with 4 lithium ion batteries 3,7V in each.
Thanks. Also, do you people know how to build a DIY USB solar panel for something like the lantern?
I have searched about how to make one, but there are not many good tutorials in French about this, so I would like to know if these are good parts:
- Down voltage converter(5-32V)
- 2 solar panel in series(2x12V)
- 4 lithium ion 18650 3,7V batteries, like the Panasonic NCR18650BD.
- Leaf spring battery holder(hope this is the good word)
- 4S battery protection system
- Fuses.
Thank you a lot. Sorry if my English isn’t too good, but I am learning.
Another accessory to consider, Den? :partying_face:

I have built many solar chargers and solar power supplies, probably the cheapest i have built, was using three 5-watt ,5 volt panels, added a USB cord with a blocking diode in the circuit, and it can charge the V1 prototype lantern from 50% charge to full in a day or less of light. (All parts were sourced from either E-bay or Amazon, the total cost was around 20 bucks.
I have tested and use many other factory solar chargers that work well too, one of my favorites is the 10-watt Eceen folding panel, which works well with charging any devices fof1.5 watts or less, for more capacity or charging multiple devices at once, (2 or 3 lantern at the same time) i use a 40-watt folding PowerAdd solar charger. ( I have also built several rigid units, both 12 volt & 5 volt.

Interested in 2.
I am interested in one please!
DB, why do you want a 5 m USB cable? Losses over that distance might make it impractical.
Yeah.
5m is extreme.
Something like 1,8m would be more practical.
