Hexar Compact LED Lantern UL 1.5

When it comes to disaster preparedness kits, people usually think of food rations, a blanket, a whistle, toilet paper, and these days, an extra power bank for their smartphones. But Japanese people have been preparing for disasters their whole lives and know that one of the first things such a kit must contain is a light source. A flashlight is good but even better is something lighter and brighter than a flashlight and if possible, something that could last more hours. In other words, something like the Hexar Compact LED Lantern UL 1.5!

Its manufacturer claims this is the lightest (no pun!) portable lamp in the world and at 48 g (1.7 oz), it's hard to dispute. When folded, the Hexar Compact LED Lantern UL 1.5 is about 85 x 65 x 25 mm (3.3 x 2.6 x 1") and when open, it becomes 66 x 125 x 35 mm (2.6 x 4.9 x 1.4") – still pretty small! You can get it in two different types of light, a daylight white or light-bulb yellow. It's USB rechargeable, has adjustable intensity, and at its lowest setting (3 lumens) will last 120 hours. Which makes the Hexar Compact LED Lantern UL 1.5 ideal for any survival kit and perfect even for your everyday bag!
