The Wagan 2230 Solar Powered Outdoor Lantern taps into the free energy of the Sun converting it into a useful bright light.

It uses LED light that is known to produce a powerful bright light without producing so much heat compared to bulbs.

The last thing you want to happen when you get up in the middle of the night is to bump into your beside table or have trouble finding the light switch. Getting a dim light just enough to give that cool relaxing effect should do the trick, but of course you need to think about the additional electric consumption. An average 7 watt bulb could consume up to 61 kWH in a year, while there are new night lights that consume electricity less than 10 percent of a regular bulb. One of which is the Ecozone Moonlight Night Light.
