This light has a lot going on and neat. It doubles as a flashlight and a lantern. It is a very low cost light that produces a decent light source. Currently it is available in Black and Gold for your color choices.
This light has a silicone handle that you can use to carry it much like a thermos. This will have the light in a horizontal position. It is simple to adjust the torch to this light source. The second requires grabbing the light at both ends and pulling them apart to open the lantern lens. This is also very simple to set the light source to this mode.
The light for this is decently bright. It is enough that if you were to hang it from a strap in a tent it will more than light up the area nicely. This would also work in a basement safe place from storms or something along those lines.
This light offers a USB port to charge your device as needed. There is a cable included in the purchase of this light. However this USB to micro USB cord is only a few inches long. Next on top of the light there is a solar panel to recharge the battery as well. The power cable sent with this light is not a standard american plug type. You will have to buy an adapter to use this plug if you are in America.
I am not sure how durable this light housing will be. It is made from what seems a fairly cheap plastic mold injection type. With this in mind if you have this out while you are camping, I am sure this is not water resistant so if it gets wet it is probably going to be no good unless you let it dry out for a very long time before trying to put power to the unit. The silicone strap looks like it will snap with ease if it gets snagged. The metal clips that hold this strap are bound to give out since you have to work them to change the position.
If you are in the market for a light that can be used in many places this is one that can get the job done. It would be great for camping, crawl spaces, has 2 light modes, produces decent light, and can be recharged with solar power. I would like to thank Microtang and affiliates for sending me this light to try out and share my opinion.
