Solar rechargeable lantern

You don't have to turn on the Discovery or the National Geographic channels in order to hear about the global warming phenomena as its consequences are being discussed by everyone. Indeed, this is a huge problem as the climate has changed completely.

You may follow the weather reports but believe me, you will never know what to expect. The new solar SL9000SW gadget is ideal for any emergency, whether it is an earthquake, tornado or a hurricane.

This solar rechargeable lantern with an AM/FM radio and a strobe light is an energy saving fluorescent tube with a twin amber blinking signal light. It has 3 way diamond cut reflector system, 2.5W/8.75V solar panels and a transparent weather guard. The durable plastic construction and the carrying handle, as well as its dimension 6.1*6.5*12.2/ 15.5*16.5*31 make this gadget suitable for the indoor and outdoor use.

The SL9000SW is based on a rechargeable 6V/4AH sealed acid battery that has an over-charge and over-discharge protection. Keeping the lantern in bright sunlight for 8 hours you will supply it with power for 3 hours. If you need it fully charged then you should keep it in the sunlight for 30 hours. If you want to use the AC adaptor or the 12V DC car plug instead, the lamp will stay alive for 18-20 hours.

Once the power is turned off, the light will be automatically turned on. Its AM/FM radio receives all 7 NOAA national weather channels. The switch system has 4 positions: Off/Tube/Strobe light with 90 flashes per minute/Blinker with alarm. Don’t be surprised by the weather’s freaks, just be prepared.
