LightCap 200 Uses

The LightCap 200 will turn any water bottle into a bright lantern for hiking, camping, backpacking, kayaking, canoeing, hunting, fishing, bicycling, travel or emergencies. You can also just use the cap as a flashlight or emergency light in a small space. It also makes a great night-light or reading light in your camp, trailer, cabin, camper or car.

Sollight customer Jerry from Seattle shared with us this unique use of the LightCap 200.


Create Light ... Not Waste DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD POLYCARBONATE WATER BOTTLE – TURN IT INTO A LANTERN! The last thing this planet needs is any more plastic in the landfills. But what do you do with your old polycarbonate water bottle (Nalgene or similar) that you don’t want to use any more? Don’t throw it away! With the incredibly handy LightCap200 you can turn your old bottle into the coolest home, deck, boat or camping lantern anywhere! Just pull off the old cap and replace it with a safe, bright, environmentally-friendly solar-powered LED LightCap200 and you’ll have light anywhere you want without wasteful batteries, dangerous, toxic fuel, or electric cords.

Put one on your picnic table, deck, out by the BBQ, kids playhouse, bedroom nightlight, car safety light, cockpit light on your boat, camper, tent or anywhere else. Simply fill your bottle with water (even colored water) for a safe lantern that won’t run out of fuel or be a fire hazard. No candles to burn out, and when your bottle is filled with water it won’t tip over if the wind comes up. The built-in light sensor automatically turns the light on whenever it gets dark, and off when there’s enough light for charging. Or you can click the water-tight switch and turn it off manually. It weights only 2.6oz and you can even use it as a flashlight. The four super-bright, white LEDs provide lots of light.

By adding a LightCap200 cap to your bottle you’re not only creating a useful item, you’re helping the environment. You can even use your bottle to store things: trail snacks, dog treats, fire starting supplies, first aid kit—anything you want to keep safe, floating and dry. And with the LightCap200 on top, you’ve always got a useful emergency light.
