The Memorial Day deals have arrived — err, at least some of them. BioLite, purveyors of all things solar, has kicked off a larger holiday promo ahead of May 26th, resulting in reduced pricing on smokeless fire pits , headlamps , and solar-powered stoves , just in time for summer. The company’s Site Lights are also on sale at Amazon , REI , and direct from BioLite for $74.89 ($25 off) through May 26th, which is the best price we’ve seen on the excellent solar-powered lighting system.
BioLite Site Lights $ 75 $ 100 25 % off $ 75 $75 at Amazon $75 at BioLite $75 at REI While still somewhat expensive for a six-bulb set, I’ve found the Site Lights to be worth it given their sheer convenience and versatility. Each IPX4-rated bulb can illuminate your campsite for up to 20 hours on the lowest brightness setting — or six hours on the highest — letting you light a path back to your tent or blanket a 1,000-square-foot area with ambient mood lighting. What’s more, the hangeable lights can easily slot onto the six included ABS stakes, which also double as tent pegs when necessary. It’s a nifty trick, though I do wish the attachment mechanism for mounting the lights was slightly more secure.

The Site Lights come with a solar-powered charging case that functions similarly to a set of wireless earbuds. The clamshell charger provides enough juice to charge each shatterproof bulb at least twice on a full battery, and when they’re diminished, you just plop them in like you would a set of AirPods.
Zepath’s rechargeable AA batteries use a similar charging technique, which, as we’ve mentioned before , is super useful because it means you don’t have to plug in each cell individually. I just wish I lived in a state where sunshine was easier to come by.
More ways to save today Just in time for summer shenanigans, Insta360’s X5 is on sale at Amazon , Best Buy , and B&H Photo for around $464.95 ($85 off), matching its best price to date. The company’s latest 360-degree action cam is a notable step in pretty much every way over the prior model, with the ability to capture 4K footage at up to 120fps, 8K video at up to 30fps, or 5.7K at 60fps. It also features larger 1/1.28-inch sensors, better low-light performance, and user-replaceable lenses (with a $29.99 kit ), though keep in mind that it’s not compatible with batteries from prior models.

Anker’s lightweight 747 GaN charger is available on Amazon for $59.99 ($50 off), which is the first notable discount we’ve seen in over a year. The foldable, 150W wall adapter remains a great option for charging a laptop and any larger electronics you have lying around, especially since it features three USB-C ports and a USB-A port, letting you juice a variety of gadgets simultaneously.
If you’re going to spring for an Atari 2600 Plus , you might as well go all in on the Pac-Man Edition, which is on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $93.81 (about $76 off). It’s still a fully functional, 80 percent scale version of Atari’s classic console that supports both 2600 and 7800 game cartridges, except that the Pac-Man -inspired model features a set of illuminated character icons on the front and a snazzy yellow paint job. It also comes with a couple of Pac-Man titles, including the first home version of the game.
