The Indigo LED Lantern is a rugged and sturdy portable light source. Excellent in emergencies and black outs as it needs no batteries, just a few quick winds to get it up and running. Also a very useful lantern to take camping, or to cabins and houses off the grid.
A handy dimmer switch allows you to change the brightness of the light, so it's only up to you how much winding you do. For example, a quick 30 second wind will generate 3 hours of light on the lowest setting.
An integrated directional LED light allows you to use it as a flashlight or reading light in addition to a lantern. One 60 second wind gives you 1 hour worth of brilliant bright white light.
Features include:
To achieve maximum battery efficiency, Freeplay recommend an initial conditioning charge. This can be achieved via 40 minutes of hand cranking, or a 16 hour AC charge via the mini USB port.
Please Note: The Indigo Lantern can be charged via a mini USB lead from your computer, or with any other mini-USB universal charger. Freeplay does not include a charging adaptor with the majority of its products in order to minimise the environmental impact of producing unneccessary charging devices when many people already own a suitable adaptor.
However if you are in need of a charger, Freeplay's versatile and internationally compatible Eco-Charge Mini-USB AC adaptor is perfect for the job.

Q: Hi, could you tell me if this lantern is waterproof? Many thanks
A: This lantern is splash proof and will work in rainy conditions but is not fully waterproof. If you were looking for a waterproof light we do stock the Powerplus Shark Wind up Flashlight which might be of interest to you. Jo.
