Are you a fan of fun but useful gifts? Maybe you’re searching for the perfect camping gift, something for the friend who loves to lounge on their patio or watch the beach sunset until dark. If so, then you need to check out the SolarPuff origami solar lanterns by Solight Design!

We had the pleasure of testing out the Multicolor SolarPuff and the MegaPuff Solar Phone Charger and Origami Lamp and found they had many uses from decorating our pool with pretty lights, to using them to light the walkway for a party. They can even be used as a cosplay accessory! Read on for a review of their functions and all ways you can put them to good use.

What is a SolarPuff?

A SolarPuff is a solar powered collapsible origami lantern that is durable, water resistant and environmentally friendly. They make great gifts for all ages and have many unique uses. You can get them in singles or combo packs for even more lighting options.

They emit a soft glowing light and are available in white and color changing varieties. They also come in different sizes and shapes.

Unique Origami Inspired Design

The lanterns arrive packaged flat, and you just pull the handles and straighten the corners to expand it into a cube shape. They can just as easily be collapsed back down to under an inch thick and are lightweight, which makes them convenient to slip into a backpack or bag and take them on-the-go.

Water Resistant for Outdoor Use

The cube is water resistant, making it great for outdoor use. You can leave them outside and even float them in the pool for light-up party decor. The Velcro handle makes it easy to hang them anywhere.

Solar Powered with Optional Charger

You can get continuous lightning with 8-10 hours of charging with sunlight or rapid charge your cube in two hours with the USB-C cable that’s included in your package.

Some cubes are also available with a Light Sensor mode. Press the ON/OFF button for three seconds to toggle between Manual mode or Light Sensor mode. In Light Sensor mode, the light will turn on by itself at dusk and turn off by itself at dawn.

Environmentally Friendly

The cubes are non-toxic, recyclable and made with no PVC. Offset your carbon footprint by harnessing the power of the sun! The MegaPuff also doubles as a phone charger. It can charge your phone up to 80% in 1.5 hours.

One Lantern, Many Uses

There are many uses for this little portable light: camping trips, walkway lights, garden lights, hang a small one from your bike handlebars for instant light, emergency light if the power goes out, patio lights, party decor, pool lights, and they can even be used to for cosplay! The small cube makes a perfect tesseract to go with that Loki costume or use it light up your cauldron on Halloween!
