Just in time for camping season, Nite Ize has launched a pair of rechargeable LED lanterns that can also charge your smartphone and other small devices.
“The new Radiant lanterns are some of our most brilliant breakthroughs yet,” said Rick Case, Nite Ize founder and CEO. “Providing a fire-like ambiance, ultra-low modes for extended runtime and emergency device charging, they are the ultimate adventure companion.”
