The portable Goal Zero Lighthouse250 [solar-powered tent lantern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lantern-1) will never leave you in the dark. Goal Zero has designed a lumen lantern that provides up to 48 hours of bright LED lighting on one single charge wherever you go.

The outdoor retailer has also created a dual purpose lantern. The Goal Zero Lighthouse250 is charged via USB before leaving home. When on a camping trip you can plug your phone into the lantern via USB and charge the mobile device and other devices like a GPS, e-readers and tablets.

Adventurers can also charge the new lantern and other devices with Goal Zero's [foldable and portable solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-3). It also has solar panels that recharge the lantern. The Goal Zero Lighthouse250 is portable, convenient and eco-friendly. The recharging lantern is an outdoor camping dream come true.
