Powered by Mom Blog brings you a Sunbell Solar Lamp & Phone Charger Review

We're happy to share this multi-use solar lamp that is simply amazing!

2 solar lanterns

We received both the yellow and red (as you can see) SunBell Solar Lamp and Phone Chargers. These lamps are ingenious, we found so many uses for them and were pleasantly surprised at how bright the lights were and how long they lasted!

You can use it as a desk light, reading light, flash flight, hanging lantern, table lamp, you can even put it around your neck and yes you can charge your phone with it. The bases are the solar panels that you can remove when the lights are fully charged if you want, and of course depending on how you want to use them.

It only took a few hours to charge up the solar panels and lamps and they were ready for use. I tested my phone on it (see above) and yep it started to charge my phone. We used it just this past weekend and hung them from our gazebo so they were hanging lanterns. They were so bright it was like they were two spotlights!

Check it out here it is in the day time hanging in our gazebo

Here's a night shot of both of the lights. Do you see what I mean they're like two spotlights they were so bright. I had to have my hubby move it as I was sitting under one of them and felt I was under interrogation lol. They do have 3 different light settings so it doesn't have to be as bright but when it got dark outside we turned them on to the high setting.

We also decided these would be great to take out as flashlights as you can take off just the handle that contains the actual light and use it as a flashlight out in the yard or when out for a walk with our dogs which we do sometimes. We're also considering take "flashlight" portion along with the solar panel of course with us this summer on vacation. It would be great for the parks and night time events and as a safety feature when walking to your hotel room from a parking lot. They would also make fabulous emergency lights, just keep the solar panels charged and if the power goes out at home you've got instant lights!

  5. I'm not sure if I'm writing and leaving comments in the appropriate place, but sometimes I start getting confused this time of night....anyhows, I mentioned how I love all thing solar powered and this is such a wonderful idea! It's a lamp, it's a light, it's a phone charger! No, it's SuperLamp!! Powered by the sun & fighting off darkness, all at the speed of light! Like a Super Hero!

  6. Solar is stellar!! I love everything about it! Mostly the 'cost' to power solar powered products! We're finally starting to head in the right direction...if only we can get more of the Big Oil, old boys' club types to follow our lead. Anyways, I'm getting a little off track...I like how these lights look in your photos. They seem to put out so much light & I really like the phone charger feature! I can think of so many people to give these to as gifts! Great review.

  7. While I'm unfamiliar with SUNBELL ~ let me say this much: after reading your review, I'M SOLD! I can think of many many multiple uses for it, and I know my Honey/Hubby would love it! (I think he would (WILL) can a case of these!

    Perfect for his workshop (and extra lighting for his his close detali projects,) our garage workshop/studio, backyard grilling and parties, dinner picnics at the beach and outdoor concerts ~ just to name what comes off the top of my head!

  9. I've been using small solar lamps in the living room in the evening when hubby is watching tv. I'm going more and more green. These are a whole lot brighter than anything I have, and being able to charge my phone with solar would be fabulous. We're planning to sell the house and live and travel full time in an rv, and this would be perfect! They look great on your gazebo! So cute.

  10. I really do need a few solar lamps- power outages are common where we live, batteries for flash lights are affordable, but sometimes not readily on hand.

  11. What a great prize! I never thought of using it outside on our patio. I hate having the spotlights on when we're out there, this would be perfect. Just the right amount of light! Thanks for the opportunity.

  15. I really like this idea. I think the more and more we use solar power the better. It is so powerful and easy to use, yet we continue to rely so heavily on fossil fuels.

  16. These lights seem amazing! I love anything portable! It makes things so much easier. I would love to take these lights with me on a camping trip, or just hanging out in the back yard with the kids and dogs. They are such a great idea, and seem like they would be GREAT to use! Thank you! This is how I learn about new things!
