You are an eco-conscious person, so obviously you like doing everything that is environmentally friendly. You love using solar light and you have that big solar panel installed on your roof. So far so good, but what about using the non-solar lighting options when you are away from your home.

You can fold it to convert it into a flat small package that weighs just 2.9 ounces. Before using it, you have to inflate it, keep it in the sun for seven to ten hours, and there you have a solar powered light that will serve you for good thirty hours.
Solar Puff
