By cg from richmond, va on 08/31/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable Design, Easy To Adjust, Easy To Setup Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Emergencies, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very bright - does not have it's own 12v charger included with it -- but I'm sure many people have these around the house - i.e. computer speakers, other electronic stuff.
By pignut from Coolville, OH on 08/26/2009 Pros: Car charger a plus, Compact, Easy To Adjust, Easy To Setup, Hand crank is great, Lightweight, Powerful Light Output Cons: Cell charger is inadequat, No dc adapter Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Emergencies Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I thought it was a little misrepresented. The cell phone charger's output is 4.5mA and most even minimal phones are 5mA or greater. There was no dc adapter included. The car charger is a plus, but when I'm out in the forest I am not near my car, so the real redeemer is the hand crank.

Didn't put out a lot of light but was nice in the campground. Nice for emergencies or car camping where you don't need a lot of light
By [...] from South Australia AUSTRALIA on 08/23/2009 Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Long Run Time Cons: No modes of output, Not water resistant, Poor Light Output Best Uses: Campgrounds, Emergencies, Home blackouts etc Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Good for Home purposes such as Emergency Lighting, close up night work and car camping. Excellent long output with batteries but not really bright.Is just me but when I recharge via the car adaptor, do both the charge and full leds light up together?I can't recharge via the car adaptor under these circumstances. Is this consistent with other users of this lamp?I get better output from my headlight with various modes.Hence the lower rating for this product.
By DoctorOdie from SE Houston on 08/22/2009 Best Uses: Backcountry Camping Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It is not the best to see objects on the ground in the dark, for example a snake you just stepped on.

Started working right out of the box By steelbikes from midwest on 08/04/2009 Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Tough Best Uses: Car Camping, Day trip Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Generally I prefer flashlights to lanterns but my wife wanted one for a weekend campout. It came the day before we left and it had a charge right out of the box. It's very easy to charge and seems to keep a good charge with only a little winding. It's a big bonus not to require batteries plus that keeps it lighter. I wouldn't use this for a reading light but that's not what it's intended for. It was fine for getting around a 10x12" tent at night.
