What are Solar Lanterns

Solar lanterns are portable source of light that can produce light free of cost from the solar energy. The solar lanterns absorb solar energy during daytime and produce light at night time or whenever and wherever required. They can produce the light for 8-12 hours depending on the type of lamps used and size of the solar collectors. One very important advantage of the solar lanterns is that they don’t require any wiring; hence they can be easily placed or hanged at any place, but of course, they should be exposed to the sunlight for charging. The solar lanterns are also being used extensively as the decorative lamps with different shapes and colors.
