 Elegant Design May 31, 2010
By Katharine B. Sherwin
This product came out of Stanford University's Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability program. The design is elegant and simple, a refreshing change from the many over-engineered and difficult-to-use products we are subjected to in America today. The company's goal is to replace every kerosene lantern in the world with safer, brighter, and more affordable lighting, and this is a great product for that.
It's also a great product for use in American homes. Last winter we found ourselves in a rental ski resort condo without power for over 36 hours. The condo owners had not supplied the unit with candles or lanterns, and all the flashlights in our car had dead or dying batteries. After that experience, we vowed never to be so unprepared again. So we have bought and tested almost every solar and hand-crank flashlight and lantern on the market. The Kiran Solar LED Lantern has by far the best solar cell and is the most versatile product of anything we've tried. It doesn't require direct sunlight for charging, and unlike many other products, it doesn't get knocked over when sitting in a window sill.

Absolutely brilliant Apr 15, 2010
By D. Greenberg
This is a brilliant design and thoughtfully executed. In one package, a light with its own charger. There's a small LED that shows when it's charging and a jack which I assume can be used to charge a cell phone from the Kiran battery. Genius!

 Almost Perfect Jun 01, 2010
By X-Tech
The only negative about this light is it's NOT water resistant or water proof. You have to leave it outside in order to charge in sunlight but you'd better check the forcast for rain. Both of mine took on water inside the light and was a struggle to get the water out. Otherwise, it's a pretty good light for the price.

Nice cheap solar light May 02, 2010
By mia
I would highly recommend this product. It is very portable / light and can be easily used indoors or outdoors.
At the same time, this device leaves much to be desired. There is supposed to be two settings of brightness, however, both settings give the same brightness, which is not enough for reading over a few minutes. Also, the solar panel cannot be removed for easy charging. I also have the Ikea solar light, which the panel can be removed. This makes it much easier to recharge. I just place it on my dash in my car everyday to recharge.

Good emergency light Apr 18, 2010

"green bean"
Bought two. Seem to work well on one all -day charge. I am puzzled at the Amazon price ($15 each), given that all over the web the prices is stated to be $10.00 each. However Amazon is the only place I could find where I could actually purchase them. Shall we cheer for capitalism?
