BioLite SunLight Portable Solar Light, as it can recharge on its own, and hang out where ever. Ozak Trail 750 lumen flashlight, LED Lenser H7R headlamp, and a Serac S3 for backup. However, I would also be packing the Suntactics 14 watt solar charger and a BioLite CampStove II so can recharge either day or night, and the latter can cook as well. While I do have limited resources, these all happily work well together.
Probably my usual EDC ZL64w and a matching Headlamp,a no brainer for me.I rely on my EDC already and it would seem pretty silly to me to deviate from them for this?
If I need more light, there's my 2000+ lumen helmet lamp
You still slunking?
I know the struggle of finding exactly the light to fit certain parameters. It can be a journey in and of itself.One light I THINK might be close to fulfilling your needs is the Lumintop EDC05C. One click for the front facing flashlight, two clicks for the side light. It has the other annoying modes, but only if you hold down the button to purposely cycle through the different modes. I figure you can set it to the light output you want, and never worry about cycling through the other stuff.http://www.lumintop.com/edc05c.html
I agree Stefano. I was tempted to buy a power bank with a built in solar panel, but read reviews. Devices with a single small solar panel seem to be WAY under powered. The power banks apparently take nearly a week to charge with the single solar panel.
Wow! thanks for the advice, you guys really seem to know what you're talking about. I'll scrap the solar lantern idea and get a solar panel. Is 28w instead of 21w worth it?
