Solar Powered LED Water Bottle

Two essentials for survival are water and light and this bottle enables you to conveniently carry both.
Up to 1 Litre of water can be stored in this vessel as well as up to 10 hours of LED light.

The solar power unit is totally sealed - molded in from the top (outside) of the cap so there’s no possibility of the contents of the bottle coming in contact with the electronics. A handy waterproof switch on the cap lets you change from the white LED (bright), to red (preserves your night vision), or turn it off completely. Leave the red light on all night (with minimal energy draw) so you can easily find the bottle; then switch it to white if you need a light!

* Handy waterproof switch on the cap that lets you change from the white LED (bright), to red (preserves your night vision), or turn it off completely
* On a full charge (12 hours in direct sun) the white LED will last 8-10 hours and the red LED will last 16-18 hours
* 3" wide mouth makes it easy to fill, mix things, clean and dry, and drink without hitting your nose
* Bottle is dishwasher safe, but cap requires light handwashing
* Uses two rechargeable AA Ni-Cad batteries (replaceable)
* Dimensions: 8.25" tall and 3.75" wide
