250 lumens of light, plus USB charging for your devices

DuaLite Directional Lighting

The ability to adjust and dim your light yields longer runtimes, like the 48 hour runtime found in the Lighthouse 250 Lantern and USB Power Hub. With the innovative DuaLite Directional Lighting feature, you can utilize 360° of bright LED light, or save on power and extend runtime by lighting half the lantern. The Lighthouse 250 also features dimmable and TURBO settings, giving you ultimate control over its 250 lumens and runtime.

Run Times:

• One side lit: 48 hours (low), 12 hours (high), 5 hours (turbo)
• Both sides lit: 24 hours (low), 6 hours (high), 2.5 hours (turbo)
• Hand crank: 2.2W (cranking at 120 RPM), 1 minute of crank = 10 minutes of light

Recharge Anywhere, Anytime

Traditional lanterns rely on costly D batteries or weak rechargeable packs--all that can leave you left in the dark if you’re not prepared. The Lighthouse 250 Lantern and USB Power Hub features an advanced, lithium-ion battery that's USB rechargeable so you can juice up from laptops or wall adapters in about 7 hours. Out on a family camping trip? Connect to a Goal Zero Nomad Solar Panel and charge up the Lighthouse 250 in 7 hours of full sun. Hit with a power outage and a dead lantern? The Lighthouse 250 also boasts a built-in hand-crank, so you can power it up and light it up instantly.

The lithium-ion battery has a shelf life of up to 6 months. It also features a built-in management system with charging and low-battery protection, so you can leave it plugged in until needed.
