Freeplay's new ML-1 Mini Lantern is the answer to practically all portable lighting needs. It is the best self sufficient rechargeable lantern on the market today. And it's friendly to the environment.
The ML-1 features a cluster of ultra-bright LEDs as the primary light source for space illumination, and also has a single-LED directional light source for use as a reading light or flashlight. In addition to wall recharging ability, you can power it yourself using the trusted Freeplay self-charge technology, so you'll never run out of power. That, combined with the reliability of ultra-bright white LEDs rated for 100,000 hours, makes the ML-1 Mini Lantern the most dependable lantern on the market. With the peace of mind of never needing to ever replace batteries or bulbs, you'll know that your ML-1 Mini Lantern will work whenever you need it, anytime, anywhere. Yet you'll have excellent brightness and shine time.
Ideal for everyday and emergency use, indoors and out, the ML-1 Mini Lantern puts the power in your hands. The self-charge system offers maximum dependability for those times when you can’t afford to be left in the dark by dead batteries. A quick wind (about 60 seconds) provides up to 1 hour of light using the directional light – and you can wind again at any time for as much shine-time as you want. An LED charge level indicator tells you the optimal winding speed.
Using the dimmer switch, the Indigo allows you to adjust the brightness of the lantern to your specific requirements, from maximum brightness to a night-light. This also allows you to maximize your shine time: the lower the brightness, the longer the shine.
*A sustainable outdoor solution that’s built to last. The power mechanism is tested to 500 000 input cycles, and the LEDs are rated up to 100 000 hours (that's 11 years of continuous use, 24 hours a day).
*The ML-1 Mini Lantern offers a real alternative to grid electricity or fossil fuels, so you can feel cleaner about your nature experience.
*When your batteries run out and you need to wind for power, the Freeplay self-charge mechanism converts over 74% of your kinetic energy into stored electricity.
*You can fly with our lantern – enabling a truly global camping or trekking lighting solution. No need to worry about spare batteries or canisters when you are traveling.
*The task light is ideal for reading at night, and an effective flashlight for walking around the campground. The task light focuses downwards to illuminate the ground or specific area.

*The carry handle doubles as a hook for hanging in a tent or tree as a primary light source.
