Amazing life span
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: Kosmo
I have 3 of these lights on low power 24/7 as ambient light in my house for day & night use. These lights have run 24/7 for the past 8-9 years and the first one finally burned out. I would say that is a pretty amazing life span.
Have several of these from years ago. Good product for use with GZ battery. Issue is the connector size. I'd really like to use it along with a motion sensor as a light in my closet with a decent sized GZ battery. Problem is-all the motion sensors and other vendor items seem to have 5.5mm connections, not 6mm. So-limited use....I guess this review is also applicable to the batteries.

We're glad to hear these lights have been a reliable part of your setup over the years. This product was designed as part of Goal Zero's 6mm accessory ecosystem, which has been used across many of our legacy products and accessories. While 6mm adapters and accessory cables have been available to help expand compatibility, we understand that many third-party products use the more common 5.5mm connector, which can make integration less straightforward. We appreciate you sharing your experience and perspective, as feedback like this helps us understand how customers are using our products and where compatibility improvements can make a difference.
My 4th light, so I can daisy-chain plus I have an old corn cob that still is working and a Stella(?) that also still works. Plug them all into my old GZ Escape 150.
These lights are phenomenal. I bought one several months ago thinking it'd just be a little lamp for in case of emergencies. This thing is so bright! It lights up a whole room really, really well. I liked it so much I recently bought two more so I can chain them all together. For camping or in case of emergency power outage etc., these lights are the BEST 👍
Seems to be a solid light for camping/overlanding. I have four of them to light an area, one is all you need for reading or cooking. They don’t use much battery power.
I'm amazed at how bright this light is! This is a perfect item to keep in the emergency cabinet for if/when the power goes out. Well-worth the price, I'm considering getting another.
