Tent Sniffing for Beginners

My favourite solar light company (you can tell a hippy camper when they have a favourite solar light company) has sent me a little Christmas gift! The rather cute but extremely bright, SunJack . It's not a solar light by itself, it's a usb light, it looks like a traditional bulb and is very light (in weight!) it can be hung up. At first I wondered how I would use it - but I not only take solar camping, but some rechargeable power packs. They are handy on dull days when there is little sun, and can charge phones via USB. It turns out they can power the SunJack too! To test it I didn't get the tent out, but I did try it on a dark night at home. DD helped to demonstrate the power of this tiny light. It's a great little light and would be useful with a solar charger with a USB port too.

This is a very short review based on a weekend away, a fuller review will appear after I've tested these lights and charger at festivals over the summer, I was lent a SunBell light/charger by the rather lovely Solar Light Company . They are superbly green and sent me  (as they send all customers) a little tin of seeds to plant to offset the carbon used in delivery of the product! Which was a rather nice touch. The SunBell sounded so good on the write up I was sceptical...but it is as amazing as it sounds! A full charge on 3 hours of bright sunlight (we've had plenty of that) and it had power to light my tent and recharge my phone! The ability to pop the solar array outside the tent and leave the battery etc inside due to the 3m cable was excellent. I might be a bit in love, and I heartily recommend it. My parents. who camped with me were also impressed, enough to add it to the'Christmas wants' list! So that's one Christmas gift sorted. They fancy a yello...
