I bought the AlpenGlow 500 about 4 weeks ago and use it since then everyday on my ongoing journey through Sweden. I overall very happy with it and it works great. Only two things that could be better:
1. USB-C for Charging (again only one thing that needs another cable then all the other things to charge) 2. Non replaceable battery. It would be great if you could change the battery if it get old (what will happen way before the led's die)

Bought this for the high powered light for emergencies, the warm lantern and red light for reading and late night musings. Great lantern. Very versatile. Long lasting for multiple nights out camping with hook to hang it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exactly what i was looking for and so much more. I was in search of some sort of light to use for a night light for my kids in there tent when we went camping. Well, the alpenglow is perfectly! It not only fit my need, it delivers so much more. We have used the candle flicker when sitting out side, star gazing. We have used it as a lantern at the fire pit, we even used it as a accent light at a baby shower (set it to pink to welcome our new niece). The fact is, it has so many functions you will be finding all sorts of great ways to use it you never even considered. If you want a bright base light, a low light to set the mood, a colored fade to calm your kids, or a multi changing party light on the go, the alpenglow has you covered. Period.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall this lantern does exactly what it advertises and well. The “shake weight” feature works well and is quite accurate. The AlpenGlow 500 feels lighter then the BioLite lantern/flashlight combo which has been my go to for powering my site lights in my tent. The 500 is much larger in width but the same height. Personally for Backpacking (which is what I do) I would pick up the smaller AlpenGlow, and use this one more where size and weight aren’t an issue. If you wanted a good lantern that’s very feature packed, I highly recommend this, especially with the ChromaReal colors.
I would recommend this to a friend!
