Luci has three main components that make her work: (1) a solar panel that captures photons from sunlight or incandescent light; (2) a rechargeable internal battery that stores her power; and (3) 10 LED bulbs that produce her light.
Does Luci need any additional parts, such as batteries or a charger?
No – unlike some other solar lights, Luci does not require any additional parts, since her unit contains solar PV cells, a battery, and LED lights all in one.
How does Luci charge?
Luci’s solar panels charge when facing sunlight or incandescent light. In direct sunlight, Luci will fully charge in 8 hours. She will charge even when it’s cloudy outside, but it will take longer. To charge Luci in incandescent light, place the solar panel close to the light bulb – but not so close that it becomes hot. It will take longer than 8 hours to charge under incandescent light.
How long does Luci stay illuminated after one full charge?
When Luci is set on Bright (lowest light setting) she provides light for up to 12 hours after a full charge.
How long does Luci last?
Luci has 300-500 cycles of full charge, so the length of time she lasts depends on frequency of use. If you fully charge and fully discharge every single day, Luci lasts approximately 2 years. If used less frequently, she will last for many years.
How much light does Luci produce?
Luci delivers up to 65 lumens of light - which illuminates an area of about 10 square feet (1 square meter).
If Luci is kept in an emergency supply kit, how often should she be recharged?
When not in use, Luci holds a full charge for about three months. After that, she retains up to 50% of her charge for two years.
What is the life span of Luci’s LED lights?
The industry standard for LED light bulbs is at least 25,000 hours. The LEDs will not burn out during the life of a Luci lantern.
Can Luci be kept outside?
Yes and no.– despite her elegant appearance, most Luci can withstand extreme temperatures, wind, and rain. The String . Colour String and Core are only splash resistant.
Can Luci be used in water?
All the Luci models that are inflatable are rated to IP67. That is they are waterproof and can be used in water environments. The Luci String, Color string and Core are only splash resistant.
Is there any risk of electric shock or burns from Luci?
No – there is no risk of electric shock or burns with the Luci lantern.
I am having trouble inflating Luci. What can I do?
Luci has been developed with a special valve to prevent air leaking out through the inflation valve. In order to inflate Luci, this valve must be pinched to let air through. The valve can be pinched with your fingers or your teeth while blowing into the unit. To deflate Luci, pinch the valve again while compressing Luci to let air escape.

AustraliaLuci lamp
We love our last acquisition. The warm light is so much nicer when camping and it is quite powerful too.
AustraliaGreat quality
I've had a few Luci lights for about 4 years. They still charge up via USB or sun and light up just the same as new. One got a puncture and doesn't inflate, still lights up ok. Could use a bike repair kit if I could find the hole. They are well constructed and designed for longevity, so long as you be careful with it when travelling. Very handy having by your bedside. Setting 1 is a low glow. 2 you can read by. 3 bright. They are made of a very thick kind of plastic.
AustraliaGreat solar lanterns for many occasions
I love the Luci lights and have several of these lights scattered around the home! The largest lights illuminate a small room quite well. At least one of them is always in my luggage when traveling. I encountered a several hours black-out in a storm while staying in a hotel and having this light, knowing it would illuminate the bathroom, the hotel room or hallways and stairs if we had to evacuate, was really great. Not knowing how long the black-out would last, I was careful with the time the light was on. Of course, these lights are also hand when camping or on overnight hikes. Hang them from the backpack to charge during the walk. The lights with the USB are especially handy for charging mobile phones, small digital cameras, as well of course, charging the light itself with the USB. Charging from computer or power point is faster than charging from sunlight. On the odd occasion when the mobile battery is very low (who hasn't forgotten to charge the battery and need to go out?) and I have to go out for the day, I hook the mobile phone onto the light and leave it on the back seat of the car for charging. Camera and phone batteries may not charge to 'full' but certainly sufficiently to make the devices usable again until they can be charged from a power point. I would suggest the spend the extra money on a light with USB. Luci lights make great gifts!
