Summertime has officially arrived! Time to bust out the bathing suits and sunscreen and head out to the lake! To celebrate this new season and all the fun it brings we have decided to host our very first giveaway. This month we are giving away a Lighthouse USB Power Hub. This versatile piece of equipment is not only a bright LED lantern but also battery bank where you can charge any USB device. (Personally, I see camping more as a time to get away from technology but in case of emergency it is always nice to have a fully charged cell phone.)

This is the year Edmond Becquerel, a French scientist, experiments with two electrodes placed in an electricity conducting solution and discovers the electricity increases when it is exposed to light. This is now called the photo-voltaic effect.
