Chad's Crappy Corner! This is the 2nd gadget in Chad’s theme for June: Things that are inflatable.

And Chad’s Pick? The LuminAID Light. Here’s what Amazon says about it: The LuminAID light is a solar-powered, inflatable lamp that packs flat and inflates to create a lightweight, waterproof lantern. The LuminAID light provides up to 16 hours of LED light and recharges in approximately 7 hours of direct sunlight. The LuminAID light is ideal for emergency use, camping, or in the home as an extra light source. Tuck it away in a first-aid kit or hook it on your backpack to take with you on your next adventure. The product is completely PVC-free and made out of a lightweight, semi-transparent material to diffuse the LED light and create a lantern effect. Under $19.00. And free shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime Member. 

And Chad’s take? This device is smaller in person than it appears in the Amazon photo, but Chad likes it. He likes the idea that the solar panel can keep the LuminAID charged without ever needing batteries. Chad also showed us that when not inflated, it can be still be used as a mini, though not very powerful flashlight. Inflating the LuminAID really increases the amount of the area that can be illuminated. Chad said it's ideal for camping too where it can be hung in a tent. All-in-all, it's Thumbs Up from Chad.
