Let me start off by saying that I loved the product so much that I purchased a second one. Some of the pluses....very small, very bright and very durable....besides camping I will use it on cruises as a night light.....the light lasts a long time 52 hours on low setting. The only complaint I have is that the red light for night vision is too bright and only lasts for 12 hours
I love the light. Its flat profile and the clip make it great to clip onto a shirt, putting light where it is needed. I find this more useful than a headlamp in many situations. It has been so handy that I bought one for my son. He uses his on frequent camping trips. I use mine for early morning boat setup(I coach rowing) and for many do-it-yourself situations where more light is needed. I'd love it to be totally waterproof and able to float.

I have had this Powerlight mini only a couple of days but I feel confident reviewing it already. Reason being I have been buying their products for years now and any problems I have had were dealt with very quickly and in a friendly manner. This light is much smaller and brighter than I expected. Sweet! I haven't done any field testing with it and can hardly stand the wait. Ice pellets and freezing rain going on out my window as I type. Its rated at 135 lm but seems much brighter than my regular powerlights which are rated at 200 lm. Perhaps its the light temperature of the nanogrid powerlights of which I have two sets. A much more yellow colour light than the Powerlight mini. The flash light mode of the bigger powerlight seems brighter though. Also tested it and it charges my IPhone 6 same rate as my wall adaptor. Handy when you need some phone power for emergency situations. Only thing I would have done differently is make red light dimmable. Also received a Basecamp stove for Christmas I haven't taken out of the box yet. Will review after use. I now own almost all their products including nanogrid twice. Very happy with their products and more so their mission. Here's hoping the KettleCharge I purchased when it first came out works as I have yet to try it. I won't be needing the cookstove (own campstove) but may buy the solar panel 5+ on principal just to keep supporting the mission of this great company. Thanks guys and keep the great and well designed products coming!

This seems to be a great light so far, but the port cover is terrible. It will not stay covering the ports and the use of the wire clip will eventually tear the cover off. I'm debating just cutting it off to save the constant annoyance of having to press it down to allow the clip to pass over it. Since it won't stay put, the ports are essentially open all the time anyway.
Other than that, it's intelligently built and provides a nice bright, diffuse light that is excellent for area illumination. The flashing modes would be very nice on a bicycle. Clip is a great addition as well.
We just got our PowerLight Mini. We love it, in fact ordered another. Using for Car, vacation, travel this light does it all. Bright, Flashing, red light when needed. Better than a flashlight takes less space and very light in weight. We are Sr. Citizens and this fits all our needed.
