Product Description

View & Print Quick-Start Instructions (PDF)

 We have included this excellent quality lantern/ flashlight in our boxes for many years.  We lay them horizontally at the end of the box, and we are able to include a soccer ball, and pack them up with lots of other stuff.  Kids love to play with flashlights at night, and it is also a useful item for any family.  We upgraded the ABS material to virgin plastic rather than recycled which improves the strength of the body; and had these packaged in a simple bubble wrap envelope so that they fit neatly and safely in a box and are ready for travel.  Although these come with a charging chord, they will fully recharge with the solar cells. The batteries are included and are NiMH , not Lithium. 

Two packaging & Plug options:

  1. Bubble wrapped with no box for retail with type A plug. 
  2. Boxed for resell with USB plug.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar Lantern FAQ

What are the dimensions of the solar lantern?

When closed, the lantern measures 4.69" tall, 3" in diameter at the light end, and 2.13" at the solar end — intentionally designed to fit perfectly into an Operation Christmas Child shoebox without wasted space.

How many watts does it use?

The lantern uses less than 1 watt, making it highly efficient while providing reliable light for families who may not have access to electricity.

How is it packaged?

Each lantern is packaged in a protective bubble-wrap envelope.

There is no cardboard box — this reduces waste, keeps costs down, and ensures the lantern fits easily into shoeboxes without adding unnecessary garbage for families overseas.

Is the lantern FCC compliant?

Yes. The lantern is FCC tested as required by U.S. law, and the FCC label is printed on the packaging to meet compliance standards.

What type of battery does it use?

Our lanterns use NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries.

This means there is no lithium, which makes them safer for international shipping and for shoebox packing.

What makes these lanterns more durable than lower-priced options?

Many low-cost lanterns on the market are made from recycled plastic, which often results in cracking — especially at the solar panel connection point.

Our lanterns are made with new ABS plastic, which is:


  • Significantly more durable

  • Shoebox-packing safe

  • Able to pass California Proposition 65 safety testing

  • Built to avoid breakage during shipping or packing

We have not had any reports of these units arriving broken or breaking during packing.

Why is this a great gift for shoeboxes and ministry?

Solar lanterns are one of the most practical and impactful gifts you can send. Many of the families who receive shoeboxes:


  • Live in areas with little or no electricity

  • Rely on candles or kerosene for light

  • Have children who study or play after dark without safe lighting

These lanterns:


  • Charge fully by the sun

  • Offer up to 50,000 hours of rechargeable life

  • Provide both a flashlight and a lantern mode

  • Are useful for every household, even those with electricity

  • Are loved by children simply because kids love flashlights

A solar lantern gives a child safety, joy, and hope — and serves their whole family.

Awesome!

These truly are awesome. It's a perfect gift for a shoebox. It's definitely a "wow" gift that doesn't take up too much space so you can add lots more to your box. The light is bright and it's very easy to use. Thanks for another great product. I will be ordering more!

Disappointed I couldn’t use for OCC boxes.

The plug is only for USA plugs, so was disappointed I couldn’t use them in the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. They do work well and I’ll just use them here at home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Linda,

These lanterns are fully solar rechargeable, and the solar panels have been tested for approximately 50,000 hours of use.

Regarding the plug, while it is a Type A plug, that does not mean it is limited to use in the United States. Many of the countries that receive Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes use Type A outlets, including much of Central and South America.

For countries such as the Philippines, where the standard voltage is 220V, the lantern is specifically designed to operate on that voltage as well. We have confirmed this with both the manufacturer and a customer in the Philippines who successfully uses the lantern there.

The biggest advantages of this lantern is that it is primarily intended to be charged by the built-in solar panel, so access to electricity is not required for normal use.

So Versatile and Excellent Quality!

These lights are both lamps and flash-lights and are so easy to use for any age. They come with a charger and are perfect for any time that light may be needed, whether it is while camping, reading late at night in bed, or during a blackout. Our grandkids keep these right next to their beds at night and love to “Read by the Light of the Lantern”. We look forward to using them on our picnic tables for evening time get togethers this Spring! Excellent quality and an amazing price!

Are there instructions in Spanish (or other languages) so the child will know
that the light is also solar powered?

Thank you

Thank you for your question!

The lantern itself does not include printed instructions inside the package. For that reason — we created free quick-start instructions in multiple languages, including Spanish, so children and families can understand that the lantern can also be charged by solar power.

You can find them here:

Please let us know if you have any other questions — we’re happy to help!

The Plug for the charger is a USA style plug. How will that work for countries that have different plug styles?

The solar lanterns are fully rechargable without any electricity what-so-ever. They simply need to place it where this a light source, preferably the sun but artificial light works.

This list includes countries that use only USA-type plugs and those that use them in conjunction with other plug types.
