Haven Lantern

What Haven Lantern does

HAVEN Lantern is a Brooklyn-based designer and seller of collapsible, solar-powered portable lighting products that combine a lantern, full-panel flashlight, and power bank in a single device. The company's flagship HAVEN 10000 (10,000mAh battery, up to 1,200 lumens, IPX6 waterproof, $79.95) is augmented by the smaller HAVEN 6000 ($54.95, open for pre-order with August 2026 shipping). Underlying technology pairs a high-efficiency monocrystalline photovoltaic panel with a lithium-ion battery, multi-mode LED arrays, and dual USB-C plus solar charging in a patented 3-in-1 expandable silicone housing; a US patent application was filed in 2025 covering this core mechanism.

The business operates a dual-market model. On the consumer side, products are sold direct-to-consumer via the Shopify-hosted havenlantern.com storefront, through Shopify Collective for online retailers, and via wholesale to roughly 20+ named US outdoor and specialty retailers including Mast General Store, Footsloggers, Sam Flax, Peak Bike & Outdoor Store, Beaver Sports, and Uncommon Goods. On the humanitarian side, the company sells bulk units to NGOs such as Save the Children, ShelterBox USA, Catholic Charities USA, All Hands and Hearts, Samaritan's Purse, World Central Kitchen, and Harper for Humanity for deployment in disaster response and development programs across Jamaica, Nepal, Mongolia, Ukraine, and Venezuela. A 'Give a HAVEN' sponsorship program ($50 per lantern) channels consumer donations through those NGO partners, and a corporate customization tier (MOQ 12, volume pricing at 2,000+ units) addresses B2B and CSR demand. All revenue is one-time hardware sales or one-time sponsorship; no recurring or subscription streams are disclosed. The company is privately held, was founded in 2024 by Seungah Jeong and John Salzinger (who previously led the predecessor B Corp acquired in 2024), and operates from 21 India Street in Brooklyn with no disclosed external institutional investors.
