The BioLite BaseLantern is a sandwich sized flatpack lantern that can provide light and charge phones and other devices. In fact this is your all-in-one power pack that provides off-grid energy when you need it the most. Despite its smaller size, it can illuminate large areas. Instead of using traditional diffusing lenses, the lantern uses edge-lighting to remove wasted space.
The BaseLantern can provide 500 Lumens of light and is only 5.1 x 5.0 x 1.7 in (129 x 127 x 44 mm) in size, weighs a little over a pound, that will easily fit in your lunch box. It comes with 2 USB charge out ports, 2 SiteLight ports, one Micro USB charge-In and Mobile App compatible with Android and iOS.
The rechargeable internal battery uses Thermo Electric Effect to be charged over a camp stove or via a BioLight solar panel.
