Product Description
Building off of its acclaimed inflatable solar lantern, the LuminAID PackLite Max and Hero 2-in-1 inflatable lanterns provide reliable light and power in any situation. Both feature a durable, water-resistant TPU construction that allows them to inflate to better diffuse light and flatten down when not in use Read More
I bought 4 of the inflatable lights. Had a 50% failure rate in the first season. The ones that still work are going strong. I hope the new stuff is more dependable.
Bought four of them last year. Fantastic lights your not going to be doing surgery with them but for emergency lights or camping there perfect. Also the kids love the to.
It seems the Massdrop Exlusive version of this Hero2-in-1 Lantern was more robustly built. Is there any chance you will drop that version soon? Don't want to have buyers remorse of buying this version if the seemingly identical product with better build quality will be available soon.
@utopik We released an updated version of the Hero on Massdrop first which is why it was listed as "mass drop exclusive" for only one drop. This drop and all drops going forward will have the same features as the Massdrop Exclusive Hero.
MichaelParkerThank you for the reply. Two more questions.
1) What is the updated feature?
2) If I buy this at other place (Amazon/REI etc.) will that be the same updated version offered here?
I always like this product line (a few years back) and eventually got an original pack lite in my Battlebox (cool subscription box company). It will charge from indirect light as well as direct. It has a high and low setting and a strobe mode too. My only gripe is the material will discolor from heat. I moved mine to just storage until I need it but I do like the light a lot. I also recommend hybridlight https://hybridlight.com/ The Massdrop Biolight camp bundle also included some awesome lights with the stove. I was very happy to get on that drop.
I own 2 Packlite 16’s and an orignal Packlite they work great for me. I hang them on the outside of my tent during the day and they are good to go all evening. I probably really don’t need to charge them everyday, the battery is normally not completely depleted before I retire for the night. I purchased these about 2 years ago and have not experienced any problems. I think I’ll join this drop to use this larger light to light the common area around camp.
thechiliedoneDefinately recommentd the luminaid. I swapped from Luci. Not sure what the newer models of LUCI offer but my older one was tougher material in the body although, I found the clear plastic to be a bit annoying if the lantern was on a table. because on the older model the handles were fixed, it meant carrying an extra little caribiner and I tore the handle on mine going through scrub.
I like the fact that I can recharge my Luminaid via USB if there has been low light or you're in town and are back out on the trail in a short time. The strap is much better and allows it to be hung in more places.
Had the same thing happen to my First gen. According to luminAID's website, "Since our products are made with TPU (a kind of rubber), plastic welding would work best to repair the bag. Any waterproof, flexible adhesive or epoxy advertised as working on rubber will be able to repair your lantern. We would recommend Loctite Vinyl, Fabric and Plastic, which you should be able to find at your local hardware store or online."
