Great option for our Hiace conversion
We had one of these lights for camping. We we finished our Hiace van conversion, we decided to get a second one so both of us could read at night. We were able to hang them on rails over our sleeping area and read before bed. They provide great light and rarely have to be recharged. I can highly recommend these lights.

Great all around light
Purchased originally for our RV when dry camping. Loved it, but now use it in our home when I just need a little more light while reading or soaking in the tub. Also, great for power outages. All our kids already received these as Christmas gifts. Love them!

Good, but not perfect
This little lantern has alot going for it. It is almost impossible to find a lantern that offers a warm white setting. I'm not convinced that their claim of 2700K on the warm white setting is accurate, it appears to be somewhere between 3000-3500K, but it is waaaay better than 5000K+ that nearly every other lantern on the market operates at, with no option to select a warmer color temperature. I'm not sure who decided that we all suddenly wanted a bug zapper with us when camping, minus the zapping, but that's where we're at. The other thing I'd like to see on the next generation, is more of the teal colored plastic around the bottom to have some grip to it, like the teal portion that runs down the sides, which helps you not drop it. The final issue is, there shouldn't be any micro USB ports on anything in 2025, it was an annoying annoying connector from day one, and in 2025 they are a thing of the past, and it's disappointing that BioLite hasn't switched over on the AlpenGlow 250 and 500 models.

Love it but..
I love this light but the multiple colors stopped working and I am unsure how to get the colors back. Has anyone else had this problem?
