One of the more frustrating aspects of camping is breaking down your gear in as efficient a way as possible to minimize weight. I often look for creative gear that serves two purposes at once. Such is my excitement of the Lightcap 200 Solar LED Cap. Basically, it will take any standard water bottle and turn it into a full-fledged glowing lantern. Perfect for lighting up an area after dark — while also convenient to store your water in. Simple, but effective. This is also a great way to add some life to that old water bottle you’ve got laying around.
They’re only $20 — have a look at purchasing one here. The color choice is all yours — just grab some Koolaid.

Hi Michael!
Thank you very much for writing about the LightCap200, we really appreciate it!

How long to charge in full sunlite?
How long does it give useful level on lite after dark?
Is this a nite lite or a serious camping lantern?
Are mosquitoes, blackflys attracted to the bluer LED lite?
Can it be charged “off bottle” a day or two ahead of use?
Rednecks will meet you half way and use these lites if you promise to share your home brew with us. Peace.
