If you live in tornado alley like I do or in Florida during hurricane seasons you need this. Or if you just like camping but you won’t regret it. For the price it’s well worth it. Everyone should have one in case of emergency
I was surprised that it was charged and was fairly bright right out of the box. For a rechargeable item, the brightness of the light was good. I haven't tried to charge a phone with it yet, but this is a great feature.
