ソロ向けの光量を抑えたライト

Reviewed in Japan on 30 January 2022

Style Name: Crush LightVerified Purchase

キャンプツーリングに使ったレビューです。

●バッテリー持続時間と運用に関して
最低光量の弱なら30時間以上持続しますが、中は約6時間、強は3時間しかなく頼りないです。
1日の光源をこれひとつに任せると、うっかり使い切った場合非常に危険なので、サブ照明として弱で使うのがいいと思います。
私はテント内専用と割り切っています。
ソーラー充電は、満充電までカタログ表記で約20時間必要とのこと。
晴天続きだとしても、満充電まで3日間は必要で、自己完結は難しそうです。
連泊時にバッテリー切れを遅くするための補助的なものでしょう。

●光量に関して
弱の光量は、ソロのテント内で文字を読んだり細かい作業をするにはちょっと暗いですが、物を取り出したりする程度なら問題有りませんでした。
よくある丸っこい中国LEDライトは弱でもかなり明るいので、こちらは落ち着ける光量とも言えます。
また、光源が下向きで側面は全体を柔らかく照らすためテーブルに置いて使っても目が痛くなりません。
しかしテントに吊るした場合は、シェードを介さない光が仰向けで寝ている目へ直接当たってしまうので、シェード外側のフック穴に引っ掛けて光をずらすなど工夫が必要です。
テント外の場合は３m級の小さなタープで作ったサイトでも、省エネ運用すると明るさが足りなくなります。

●いくつかの問題点
バッテリー残量の表示は満充電と充電中の2パターンしかなく、キャンプ中に使用可能時間を把握するのは困難です。
複数人で使用した場合、前述の製品の特性を知らない誰かが中強で使って夜中にあっさりバッテリー切れになるため、やはりソロ向けだと思います。
ボタン長押しで作動するゆらぎモードは、消耗だけ多い無駄な機能で、特に情緒も感じませんでした。別の実用的な機能を割り当てて欲しかったです。
ループに自前のカラビナをつけると、軽さと薄くたためるメリットが少し失われるので、私は細いロープをボタン風に結んで使っています。

●その他の注意点
届いたのは海外版で、本体が結束バンドでパッケージに密着して固定されていました。安い物で構わないので開封用のニッパーを用意した方がいいかと思います。
2022年2月8日現在、本ページの商品重量が絶対考えられない8gとなっています。
またネット上の日本語マニュアルには91gとありますが、私の手元の製品2個は104g、105gでした。

短所も色々挙げましたが独自の楽しさと便利さのある道具です。
ギミックに興味があれば買って損はないと思います。

Very handy

I bought this because I have a lot of Goal Zero and Solio solar stuff. This light I bought specifically for trips to the restroom at festivals at night and as a light for inside the tent. I figure the silicone shade will be easy to disinfect. I'll post a review on how that goes when we get back.

It is small and lays flat. Expanded it is still small and very light. There are three light levels. There are loops on either side of the light you could easily hang it.

Lastly...at first I couldn't get it out of demo mode. The instructions were a little vague "hold button for 10 seconds". That didn't work, but I did figure it out. You have to turn the light on and then hold the button for 10 seconds. It will flash a bunch then turn off. Then you are out of demo mode.

light weight/compact assistive illumination

Reviewed in the United States on 3 June 2019

Style Name: Crush Light ChromaVerified Purchase

It is not the brightest solar chargeable multi-color lantern, but I believe this is the one of the lightest, lighter then some of the inflatable lanterns. (though those are about 1.5times brighter than this.)

it is more of a recreational light rather than a practical main light source. Set this in one of the color modes available and put on the table to instantly get good mood with.

The flickering mode is not really necessary-- it only works in white light, and the tone just doesn't look like a candle light at all. It would be much realistic if this mode worked with the amber color scheme.

I would suggest one to use it as a secondary or even the third light source for camping.
For example, your main light source will be something to set in the tent, a secondary source can be a good headlight which has a few hundred lumens, then finally this one comes in to play around.

For practical usage, I have some suggestions other than creating moods and taking photos.
It works as an extra rare light for bicycles when set to red.
Also, it is useful in the midnight around camping site as a dimmer light source since most outdoor LEDs are eye-hurting. Use it when you need to go to the toilet or something.

good but handle broke already

Reviewed in the United States on 30 June 2020

Style Name: Crush Light ChromaVerified Purchase

It lives up to what it is- however, I left it on the dash of my car to get direct sunlight and charge the solar panels- which in turn made the top swivel handle expand and come off. It wont go back on either. I had to superglue it. I understand the science to which heat makes things expand, therefore making the handle fall off- however, on a SOLAR powered device, that was a little surprising. seems like either the handle or solar panel should have been relocated somewhere else, so that when I charge it, the handle didn't fall off.

Perfect for what I needed

Reviewed in the United States on 14 July 2020

Style Name: Crush Light ChromaVerified Purchase

I found these to be perfect for backpacking. Very lightweight and easy to pack since they fold down flat. They are not real bright but I ordered them as lanterns for inside our tents and they are perfect for that. My daughter loves the changing colors for her tent. Solar panel is slightly helpful but solar technology is not real dependable yet for things like this so I wasn't expecting to depend on the solar panels. However they easily recharge on my battery that I bring tfor charging these and my phone. They did last a weekend with out needing a recharge.

Was sold when we first seen it !!!!

Reviewed in the United States on 14 July 2020

Style Name: Crush Light ChromaVerified Purchase

We had seen these lights at one of the local sporting goods store. My wife and I were sold when we seen them. At that time we could not purchase them. I had checked with Amazon and low and behold they appear. My wife’s birthday was coming up and what would be better than candles in the proverbial cake, 2 solar crush lights !
The lights are NOT used for spotlighting or lighting up a large area, they are used for personal lights for close proximity. A soft light that can be used for reading, lighting up the tent, or just taking on the bathroom run !
The color changing option is pretty cool with the different colors. Even the light/candle flicker of the white light is really neat. Would like to see the flicker with the colored lights but that is just me.
I’ve seen reviews of button problems, didn’t have any. Reading the instructions and playing with it and getting familiar with it before going on a trip is a must.
These are going to be a big part of our camping gear and on hand for when the power goes out.

It Like it.

Style Name: Crush Light ChromaVerified Purchase

The item is much smaller than it looks on Amazon, but that does not bother me. The switching from color to white and visa versa is touchy because you are using the same switch that turns it on and off and changes colors. Which is the reason i gave it a 4 star and not 5. Other than that it is cute and puts out some nice light. The colors put out a nice mood setting. The brightest white is good enough to read under, but because of the size of the unit you need to be right under it and within 5 inces. it is very light and compact which is nice when when it comes to portability. Overall i believe it is worth buying.

Not 31 hrs on low

I have tested this several times. After a full charge (light is green) and set to lowest setting, it will only go about 22-23 hrs, not the advertised 31 hrs.
