How to Get Started With Your LuminAID Lights

Your LuminAID lights have arrived, and now it’s time to put them to work!

1. Check the Charge

When you first receive your lights, check the charge level on them. To do this, you’ll need to press the battery indicator button. The 4 green LEDs will run up to 4 and then flash at the level of charge. If the green LEDs don’t light up, not to worry! This just means you’ll need to recharge your lights.

2. Charge Your Light

3. Inflate Your Light

All LuminAID lanterns are equipped with a specially-designed lantern that allows air to flow into and out of the light without the need to pinch or bite the valve. This allows for an easier inflation process, especially for children and the elderly. To inflate your light, unfasten the strap and open the air valve. Untwist and pull on each end of the lantern to begin inflating. Blow into the valve to ensure the lantern is fully inflated. Plug the valve with your thumb and quickly close it. You can pop the valve back in, so the lantern sits flat on a table.

4. Turn On the Light

To turn on your LuminAID light, press the power button. By continuing to press the power button, you can cycle through the lighting settings and turn the lantern off.

5. Check the Charge Every 3 Months

If you are storing the lanterns without using them, we recommend checking the charge every 3 months and recharging as necessary.
