Light up the night with a solar tent

by Sherry on September 22nd, 2008

Anyone can pack a flashlight or battery operated lantern to go camping, but that’s just so … old-fashioned. And it’s certainly missing that geektastic flair that comes with a solar powered family sized tent!

The outer panel of the tent soaks up the light from the sun, and uses it to generate power for the evening hours. It uses red LEDs that provide light without the aggravating brightness of a standard light which can hamper your ability to see outside at night - no one wants to trip half-blind to the bathroom in the middle of the night!
