We LOVE our LuminAID lanterns/chargers.
This is the fourth LuminAID lantern and charger I have bought - three in the past as gifts, and this last one for myself. I love them. The five choices of light level/types are great. The phone/device charger is wonderful.
One question: The directions say to close the lantern when not in use. Why is this? If I leave it open/blown up most of the time will this affect the quality or longevity of the lantern?
