Way better than the old version

Another brilliant compact lantern. The hook is smart to move along the cord where you want to hang. Rewind the cord and storage it away is great and compact.
I would recommend this to a friend!

weak stalk

the LEDs are fine but the stalk becomes feeble very quickly. I barely used my light on a keyboard and soon it was sagging down further and further. Now it rests on the keyboard instead of illuminating from above.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lights up the Jeep nicely

In the field, rain falling heavily from the sky and bouncing off the canopy over the stern of the Jeep, I needed more light than the Jeep’s overhead bar, so I wired up my pair of lights to the YETI 1500, and it lit up the radio, back of the Jeep, and documents beautifully. I think I will pick up a couple more.

These lights are excellent for plenty of light coverage that won’t blind you. It has two settings and can also be turned on at the connection. The construction is pleasing to the eye and not a strictly utilitarian design. The lights pack down to a small size when not in use by removing the globe and replacing it to cover the cable wrapped base. I recently just bought a couple more to go the the three I already use, which I’ve had for several years.

I different beam pattern

Many reviewers say they like this light more than the original. I agree with many points on that. It is more compact, better cord management, two brightness settings, etc. You can read the other reviews for the advantages. My disappointment with this light is that it is not nearly as much of a flood as the original. The only way to really broadcast the light is to have the light hanging very high. This is not possible at times. I like this light, however, most of the light is directed straight towards the ground rather than being dispersed. It does not matter which position the shade is in. Again, my comparison is to the original.

Disappointed

I was excited to see this new version of the light a life as I had really liked the older version. I have 4 of those. It was a great concept however it does fall short.
First the good. The color of the light output is like a regular soft white light bulb. I really like that it's not so harsh. I like that you can string them like the older version. I had liked the idea of storing the cord.
Now the problems. The cord is so short it can't be hung up high enough with out some type of extension to the cord. That was really irritating. It just makes me think they want to sell one more item by making that cord so short. Next it appears that you can't change out the led if it burns out. Flipping the shade on the light is really kind of pointless.
Goal zero this was a let down. Bring back the old version with a different color bulb. This version is less functional.

Perfect design and very useful

I never go camping without them. They make a nice light over the picnic table. They are well designed and easy to hang up. I literally have nothing bad to say about these lights. I have 5 now and will definitely buy more. Perfect for power outages also

I contacted your customer service with a question about a certain light I had purchased a few years ago. You apparently discontinued that light, but your customer service dept recognized a replacement light and sent me all the info and a link where I could immediately order this new light. I really appreciated that extra attention as I am old and not very proficient on the computer. I ordered two of them and am very, very pleased with the amount of light they put out. We made a subsequent camping trip to Colorado and everyone in our group was in envy of these lights!
