Whether you're a late-night reader, an avid camper or just someone who needs a handy light source sometimes, getting a quick-inflate lantern can be a great idea. It's a novel concept, because you're basically getting a small square that can suddenly become a whole source of light, but it's interesting. You can currently get a LuminAid Max solar-powered quick-inflate lantern from QVC for just $40, and it even has a USB charging port to allow it to double as a power bank, too. If you decide you want to get anything else from QVC at the same time, and it's your first order, you can also get another $20 off with the code HELLO20.
There's really no end to when something like this can be useful. If you're up late working on a computer or a project and need a bit of light that's not overbearing, then this can help. Likewise, if you're out and about walking, hiking or just camping in the garden, this could be all the light you need to feel that bit safer. It all easily folds away when not in use, and the fact that it also has a built-in power bank only adds to its usefulness.

While it might not rival some of the best flashlights for pure brightness, there's no denying how useful this thing can be in so many circumstances. Plus, if you are a first-time customer and you bundle this item with anything else from QVC, you'll essentially get it for half-off so long as you remember to use the code HELLO20.
