BARGAIN LANTERN
Dec 7th
Here’s another product that’s going to be attractive to kitcar owners in the shape of a collapsible LED lantern.
There are no large batteries fixed in place, as just three AA-type batteries are all that’s needed here. It features 30-LED modules, which produce useful light that can last several days un-interrupted if required.
The exterior is made from plastic and it has stainless steel carrying handles and there’s also an auto-off function, which is activated when the lantern is folded away, so you can’t drain the batteries accidentally.
The Savisto lantern has a retail price of £14.99 and is available now from www.savisto.com/savisto-led-lantern or More >

Unlike some of the other Boxster-based kits that More >
