Our favorite solar lantern is 25% off today only

MPOWERED Luci Solar Light | $11-15 | Amazon

Inflatable solar lanterns are one of my new favorite camp gadgets. They're just as bright, lighter and often cheaper than their battery-operated counterparts. And best of all, you don't have to fiddle with expensive and disposable batteries. Just sit it out in the sun during the day and you have light at night. It's the ultimate convenience.

The MPOWERED Luci series are easily some of our favorite solar lights on the market. They're bright, pack down to nearly nothing and are already affordable. Today only, however, the Outdoor 2.0, Lux, and EMERG are all on sale as part of Amazon's Deal of the Day. At $15, the Outdoor 2.0 and Lux are $5 off their usual price, while the EMERG is $4 off at $11.

Even if you already have one, grab another and toss it in the glovebox in your car or stow a couple in case of an emergency. They're extremely handy. You'll thank me later.
