Solar vs Hand Crank Camping Lantern

I recently bought a rechargeable solar camping lantern. Not long after I made the purchase, I say another lantern that looked almost identical, but it could be recharged with a hand crank instead of a solar panel. So I had to get it and try them both.

Which one is better? That’s a good question. It depends on what’s most important to you because each one has its own pros and cons. But I think both options are good and I’m happy to have one of each.
