Makers4Good set out to design an off-grid personal power station that performs for the most demanding uses—plus something stellar for people in parts of the world without reliable access to power. In both cases, a rich set of features with high-capacity personal power storage helps people be productive and thrive. Personal lighting features start with a utility flashlight with a 15° light beam driven through a multi-staged lens assembly. This design gives ample light in the focus area and provides mild off-center illumination enabling peripheral vision. HELIO 's white lantern mode makes doing close tasks at night comfortable. The 28 4000° Kelvin white LEDs are diffused through multi-staged diffusors. The light is pleasing to the eye and minimizes shadows. Because sometimes night work requires you to see things close while preserving your night vision, we provided you with a red lantern function. The red lantern has 26 LEDs, diffused and colored red to maximize vision and minimize shadows. The HELIO solar charging system provides a full 1 watt of charging capacity. Because we want you to capture the most energy all through the day, we used today's best solar charge controllers. These charge controllers also protect your HELIO 's batteries from overcharge conditions. They manage HELIO charging from the USB port and provide thermal management not found with most personal portable powerbanks. When it's time to get your phone charged up the 10.5 Watt USB charging port will charge your iPhone, Android phone, tablet or other device quickly and efficiently. When you have grid power, great. When you need lights, charging capacity, and personal power you can depend on, use your HELIO .
