A bigger sibling to the Solarpuff, the MEGAPUFF is targeted toward camping enthusiasts, trekkers, travelers, or anyone living in an area prone to power outages. The bigger lamp is paired with a bigger battery that doubles as a power bank, helping you stay illuminated as well as keep your gadgets like your smartphone juiced no matter where you are. The larger design means a brighter light too, capping at 300 lumens (more than thrice as bright as the Solarpuff), now with adjustable brightness as well as color temperature, allowing you to choose between 7 light settings, from cool white light to a warm yellow light, a deep red light (for repelling mosquitoes) or a blinking red light for emergencies. A solar panel built into the top of the MEGAPUFF lets it charge in the sun, requiring 8-10 hours of direct light to get fully charged (or you can charge it in 2 hours via USB-C). Once fully juiced, it can charge your phone from 2%-82% in under an hour too.

Originally developed for disaster relief and to provide light to communities living without power, the Solarpuff was built to harness the power of the sun and illuminate homes and spaces, while being cheap, foldable, waterproof, and incredibly reliable. The Solarpuff’s iconic origami-inspired design was literally built to be the most reliable, durable outdoor light ever made, aiding countless refugees and people in Haiti, Dominica, Nepal, Puerto Rico, Syria, Lagos Nigeria, Burundi, Kenya, Ukraine, Turkey, and many other countries. The creators behind the Solarpuff now return with the MEGAPUFF, a larger variant of the popular durable light, now with higher brightness, adjustable color temperatures, and a bigger battery that doesn’t just power the light’s LEDs, it charges your devices too. Designed to last hours on a full charge and fold flat when not in use, the MEGAPUFF is just perfect for everything from enduring indoor power cuts to camping outdoors or even attending Burning Man.
The MEGAPUFF’s unique construction is perhaps its greatest bit of innovation. It’s useful, intuitive, hassle-free, weighs near nothing, and endures practically everything. The cube-shaped light features an exterior made from PET plastic sheet, which folds to a 0.5-inch flat sheet with a simple twist, and opens into a cube shape when needed. A switch activates the LEDs inside the MEGAPUFF, and the PET fabric diffuses the light, scattering an ambient glow that’s perfect for reading, navigating the dark, or just on your patio with friends and family. Straps on both the top and bottom help in opening and closing the lamp, while also giving you the option to easily hang it anywhere. The MEGAPUFF’s fun design is child-friendly, waterproof, and damn-near indestructible, so you could play catch with it, drop it in a pool, or from a height and you wouldn’t need to worry about it suffering any damage.
If all those capabilities and features weren’t enough, the MEGAPUFF also works as a safety light for bikers, cyclists, and pedestrians. It pairs with the Solapak, which features a slide-in compartment on the front where you can store a closed MEGAPUFF. Switch the MEGAPUFF’s LEDs on and it illuminates through the backpack, working like a safety taillight would for a cyclist, alerting people of your presence in low-light settings. Moreover, during the day, the Solapak also helps charge your MEGAPUFF by exposing its solar panels to the sun, keeping you ready and prepared for everything from power-cuts at night to impromptu camping trips, road-trips, tailgate sessions, or just lounging in your backyard, flipping some burgers as the sun sets!
