How I Discovered the Luci Solar Light

I was invited to be part of a group buy for several preparedness items, one being the *this post contains affiliate links Luci Solar Light.  Life being busy, when it arrived, I stashed it in my emergency closet, and promptly forgot about it.

Just keeping it real. 

When I pulled out all of my family’s Bug Out Bags to update and rotate out the food within, I rediscovered my Luci Light, and have been putting it to use ever since.

Why The Luci Light Is At The Top Of My Survival Lighting Options

*This amazing*this post contains affiliate links inflatable solar lantern requires no batteries, which means one less thing to forget while it saves you money!

*Provides up to 12 hours of light on a single charge.

*It stores easily.  It is exceptionally lightweight, and deflates down to less that 1 inch tall.  There are few survival lighting options that you can slip into a bug out bag that adds almost zero weight and takes up little space.

*Requires only a few breaths of air to inflate.

*It’s very affordable, especially considering it’s a solar lantern.

Pro Tip:  The Luci Light is the perfect solar option for camping trips, RVing, boating and off grid living!

How Long Does It Take To Charge The Luci Light?

Fully charged after 8 hours of sunlight, the Luci Light  then retains 95% of that charge each month. This means that a fully charged light will still work after being in storage for 3 years!

Expect 50 lumens of high quality, bright light within a 12 foot area.

Survival Lighting That Is Kid Friendly

I appreciate how kid friendly the Luci Light is. The PVC enclosure is waterproof, and includes handles for easy carrying even by the littles. As a matter of fact, these would make safe and effective night lights too, without need of batteries, gas, or a wall to plug it into.

Pro Tip: Looking for an emergency lighting option for your college kids’ dorm room?  The Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern fits the bill!

What’s In Your Nightstand?

You are startled awake in the middle of the night due to an emergency. You reach to turn on the lights and discover the electricity is gone. While others may panic, you know you can reach into the drawer of your night stand (or under your bed, in a dresser drawer, etc.) and have light right at your finger tips.  This is what the Luci Light is all about.

Don’t Wait For A Disaster

When disaster hits, the time to prepare is past.  Don’t wait to increase your family’s ability to weather an emergency.  Get your Luci Light now.

Why Worry About Preparing?

Preparedness makes more sense now than ever.

As we move through 2026, it’s clear that the world is shifting in ways many of us can feel — even if we can’t always predict what’s next. In recent years we’ve seen global supply chain disruptions, international conflicts affecting energy and food markets, extreme weather events across multiple continents, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, economic uncertainty, inflation, and rising costs for everyday essentials.

From global pandemics to geopolitical tensions and natural disasters happening around the world, the message is the same: stability isn’t guaranteed.

Whether or not you believe we’re headed toward a major global reset, there are plenty of everyday realities that make preparedness practical — not extreme. Job loss. Health emergencies. Severe storms. Power outages. Supply shortages. Economic downturns.

Preparedness isn’t about panic.

It’s about positioning your family to respond calmly when life throws the unexpected your way.

We’ve found that the more intentional emergency planning my family does, the less I worry about the big “what ifs.” When you have food storage in place, backup plans for power and water, and practical skills to lean on, uncertainty feels manageable.

That peace of mind is powerful.

Here at Simply Preparing, we share the survival tips, preparedness strategies, and practical systems we’ve learned along the way — from pantry building and food storage to emergency planning and self-reliance skills. Our goal is not to create fear, but to create confidence.

And we hope you’ll join the conversation.

Preparedness is not a solo journey. We all bring different experiences, lessons, and perspectives to the table. Share what you’ve learned. Ask questions. Leave comments. We grow stronger and smarter together.

Now, let’s get started prepping.

Pick a post and begin reading. At the end of every article, the blog will randomly suggest three additional preparedness posts to explore. Set aside just 10 minutes a day to build your knowledge base. Small, consistent steps add up faster than you think.

Because when it comes to preparedness, we’re never truly “done” learning — and we’re never wrong for being ready.

Let’s prepare wisely.
