I got this lantern in fall 2019. I have used it on every single backpacking, ski mountaineering, and car camping trip. It’s incredibly reliable considering it’s lightweight, folds flat, and is 100% solar powered. It’s hard to believe I’ve never had issues with it turning on or off or holding power throughout the night even when recharging during PNW cloudy days. For its size, weight, power performance, recharge rate and party vibes with the changing colors, I can’t imagine what other lantern I’d want or need. Truly an item I love and never leave at home.
I bought a Crush Light on impulse last year for my son for Christmas and I've been amazed at how well it has held up over a year. He's really hard on the things that he enjoys playing with, and his Crush Light has been bent, folded, chewed on a bit, dropped many times, left outside, filled with water(!), and crushed and uncrushed hundreds of times. And it still works, we use it like a flashlight on walks around the neighborhood. So kudos on making one tough product.
I keep this folded up on my dashboard to keep it charged. I have used this at night on the side of the road when I had a flat tire, perfect to light my way to change the tire and to alert the traffic that I was there. I am ordering more for presents, anyone that gets in my car picks it up and wants one :) Thank you for such a great light, love the color changes too :)
Bought this for my daughters. They use it as a nightlight every night. Collapsible so we take it on trips with us. Runs for hours, even on high brightness. Love the colors but also standard white color and the candle/flicker option is cool. We use it outside for get togethers also, everyone asks questions about it. Happily recommend this and am going to buy more. Of note, do not leave out in the rain. I fried one when left out during rainy season but Goal Zero sent me a new one. Righteous customer service.
They collapse small enough to throw a couple in your backpack. If you just need white light you have it, but for ambiance on the porch on those nice summer nights, you have the color modes. There are many items I buy thinking I will use them, but they end up sitting on a shelf. The Crush lights are just the opposite - I thought they were a frivolous purchase, but as it turns out, I use them all the time.
