good light by m marie (california) 4 Stars
July 02, 2008
it works great - the only drawback is the solar panel is not attached that well since the plastic frame could break if handled rough. otherwise ok. no more battery flashlights for me!

Bright light by Maxinerose (Wyoming, USA) 4 Stars

Purchased this lantern because of the size of the light... had purchased a cheapie from Walgreens for 1/3 the price, but that wasn't very bright and just a wind-up. So much better to have solar and a large, real bulb. It's for emergency, but I've used it a bit... and keep it charged up.

Solid design, rugged appeal by steph (San Francisco, CA) 4 Stars

I bought two of these to take to Burning Man, not knowing what to expect, and wow, they were great. They survived two dust storms, rain and were covered with mud by the end, but I brushed them off and they're still working great. Easy to tote, compact design... the solar panel is adjustable and the fluorescent light output is sincerely potent. The only thing is, with solar in general, that they take quite awhile to power up. Highly recommended... I'm a happy customer.

Like-failed with 1st use-fix it by bbeckham (Monticello, AR USA) 4 Stars

Would have given unit a 5 if it hadn't failed the first time I used it. I really like this lantern when it works. Note: for the warranty to be active you have to register w/in 30 days of purchase. Missed that little detail. My switch stopped turning the lantern off with 1st use. If you cannot turn it off, it is useless. Took the unit apart and a few metal flakes fell out. Jiggled the switch and reassembled. Working great now. Hopefully the problem is fixed.
