Powerful and little!

Great size to fit into a purse or pocket. It charged fast and seems to hold a charge. It does take a bit of practice to get the various light options to work.
The light is very bright - I've used it while walking to my car and home. Plan to get a few more so I have them in various rooms and emergency bags.

Wyoming Travels
on February 16, 2016

I didn't realize this was going to be such a handy light when I ordered it. I have only had it a week, but it has become my "go to" light. I had planned on carrying it for a tent lantern in my pack, but it quickly got transferred to my shirt pocket as a personal carry light. I have used it more than my headlamp, because of it's adaptability. It was a tent lamp, table lamp, headlamp, and signal lamp this weekend. Very handy! 2 of these and 2 Smartphone were kept charged on the 5 and 5+ solar chargers with ease, in Wyoming. That's impressive.

BioLite's unique design and implementation
on February 16, 2016
Posted by: Mike G.
I am constantly amazed at the creative engineering that goes into BioLite products. Case in point; this handy little bike/charger/camping light.
Upon 2 day receipt of two of these lights I easily mounted them to my wife's and my bicycles. The bike mount is simple to install, both horizontally and vertically, so it can go on a fork or handlebar with ease. Learning the process of controlling the various light options with a single switch took a bit of rewiring in my brain. But once I actually read the no-frills manual and stopped assuming, it quickly became second nature. My only concern was the 2 second hold and lock function. I can't seem to wrap myself around the purpose and correct use of it. But again, I blame my 50 year old brain, not BioLite.
Once on the road in the dark, I was amazed at the light output. You're not only well seen and conspicuous to vehicles, but you can see well yourself up to about 10 feet or 3 meters ahead. Bravo for the bike light!
The charging aspect works well, though the output of this little battery had a tough time keeping up with my rather large smartphone and its voracious energy appetite. It works well in a pinch to keep one connected. Great implementation!
Finally, use as a general purpose utility light was just phenomenal. The multitude of options really adds to the appeal of this little jewel!
Once again, BioLite has created a well thought out, elegant design with great function and form.
Kudos and keep it up!

My work and play light
on February 21, 2016
Posted by: Jason
First let me say the power light mini is an awesome mini light...I have used this light ice fishing at night while jig sticking for the past 2 weeks.I attached the mini to my breast pocket for hands free light, result was excellent!! At work I must go into many basements working for a utility company,and yet again great lighting. The wire clip stand was stable and tight to my breast pocket. I own many biolite products, another great idea folks. ..an extremely satisfied CUSTOMER. .

Mini Equals Max
on March 2, 2016
Posted by: Farris
This is a small bundle of awesomeness. I love the small size and the fact that it has red light settings, make it even better. It is definitely my new favorite small light. I purchased it as a hammock light, but it will be used for many other needs around my house and I plan on purchasing some more for my vehicles. Once again, BioLite has exceeded my expectations. I should have come to expect it. I own all of their electronic products and have never been disappointed.

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.

Good light so far with one reservation
on March 25, 2016

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.

Tiny and Bright
on March 25, 2016

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!
