I was reading an article about solar powered devices that have been developed to help developing parts of the world when I came across the LuminAID. Anyone ever used one while camping?

It's essentially a solar powered LED light that has an inflatable translucent bladder to diffuse the light and creating a lantern. It weighs a mere 2.9 oz and at full charge has 8-10 hours of run time on the high setting, recharges in about 7 hours of sunlight, and is waterproof. It looks like it would take up nearly no space in a pack. I think I am going to buy one since they cost all of $20... certainly can't be the dumbest $20 I've ever spent.

I heard about this, but couldn't find it. Apparently they work pretty well. I might have to get one.
 
Pretty neat idea.. Doesn't look too durable though? I know I'd probably put a hole in it in short order. Or it would blow away :D
