Good Bright, light weight, and simply lasts forever even on the highest setting. Used several times on BSA camping trips to light up the area. Love the swivel head. Cons It does get hot, but it’s manageable. Great product, that has a good feel, bright with wide projection, and lightweight for camping/hiking. Read more

I used this through three months of fire camp and it worked great. Is perfect for all types of lighting needs. Great buy. Awesome battery life also. Read more

This is really a clever design. Basically, advancements in LED and battery technology now mean that you can have something that works more like a good-sized construction job site light than a flashlight or even a camping lantern, in a package that folds down so compactly that it can fit in a tool bag or even a backpack. In operation, it really does feel a bit like something out of a science fiction movie, because something that performs like this is normally supposed to be a lot larger, it just kind of resets your expectations of what is possible. Inside, point it up at the ceiling and it is like one of those big old torchiere lamps that lights up the whole room with indirect light, point it at a wall and now you have a good, wide-area work light, then close it up and point it straight down and now it becomes a small table lamp for sitting around the picnic table at a campsite or in a power outage. The magnetic feet mean you could stick it on your vehicle, etc. so there are an almost unlimited number of ways you could use this thing. It is too big and too awkward to be a flashlight, although you could use it as one in a pinch. The main limitation on using this thing is that you never want to look directly at the light itself or have the bare bulb directly in your line of site. Even on low, it is putting out enough light that looking directly at it is unpleasant. So it is really for indirect lighting only. It seems pretty well-built and solid. The tripod feet and the body containing the battery are plastic, but the expanding pole is metal, along with the head that contains the LEDs. It comes with stakes to hold it to the ground in windy conditions, and it should be able to handle at least light rain. I think it is primarily supposed to be used for camping, power-outages and stuff like that. But it feels like a kind of miniaturized job site light and I expect a lot of people are thinking about using it that way. For a simple camping light it is pretty expensive, but in comparison to a traditional job site light, particularly one that is battery powered, it is a relative bargain. I think the answer on using it as a job site light is maybe, basically depending on how roughly you want to treat it. I don't worry much about it surviving in the tool bag, it seems rugged enough when folded up and you can fold the emitter side in during transport to keep it from getting scratched or broken. On the other hand, I don't think I'd want it to get covered with plaster dust when it is opened up and in operation. The telescope mechanism, the little expanding tripod feet etc. probably won't cope with getting completely covered with dust and sand particularly well. So it is probably not for truly rough service, it isn't going to replace your wobble light or anything like that. There is no dust cover on the power switch, although the charge ports are at least covered with a rubber grommet. So yes, it can be a job site light if you are willing to baby it a bit, but it is not really designed to get truly abused. Overall, I like it, and I expect most people who buy this thing will like everything about it except for the high purchase price. Read more

Love this thing. Used it as a hobby lamp, a camping light, and a flashlight. Perhaps a little spendy, but it is high quality and very useful. Read more

This light has been a solid addition to my kit. The battery life is strong, and I appreciate the amount of light it gives off for its size. The tilt feature is a big plus—makes it easy to adjust the beam just where I need it. While it's not the most powerful light I own, it hits a great balance between portability and brightness. Just keep in mind it's a lantern, not a spotlight and not meant for throwing long distances. Read more
