Customer Reviews for Goal Zero - Torch 500 Lumen Emergency Light - Black

I have only used this a few times so far so I don't know how well it charges or holds up, but so far I am very pleased with its brightness. Both the flashlight and the long light have 3 brightness settings to accommodate a variety of situations. I love that it has hooks for hanging horizontally or vertically. The power buttons are small and look exactly alike, so you really have to pay attention to their placement to get the correct one the first time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this about a month ago and I’m happy with it. I have it in my emergency bag, but have already found others used for it. Charges in the sun ok, gets hot and stops until it cools (as designed). The flashlight/floods graduation options are neat. And as a backup battery for my cell, it’s already paid for itself. My wife thought it was too big for her purse, but I use it more and love it.

This is the second Torch 500 I have purchased. I've had my first one for over a year and saw it on sale, so I purchased a second one. These are very handy to keep around the house or in your vehicle. Charges by USB or the sun.

My Favorite Goal Zero - small gadget

We had a Goal Zero Torch 250 for over 10 years and it still works great. Based on our experience with the last generation of this product we were excited to get the Torch 500. Based on 3 months of use - the T-500 appears to be a great. I hope we don't have the problems noted by other reviewers about degradation of the plastic on the Torch. Time will tell. It would be a shame if a poor choice was made by GZ for the materials that went into this. If our Torch 500 has problems - we'll update this. Otherwise we're excited to have it.

I absolutely love this newer torch light. It’s so nice. I owned the older version of this torch light and loved it too. But there were some things that I didn’t like about it. But this newer one, Goal Zero fixed all of the things that I didn’t like on the older model and now I love the newer one even more! Thanks so much Goal Zero for listening to your customers. Bravo! Thank you!

I owned an older version of this model and was surprised that the original version had an attachment to generate battery power and the charging cable was attached to the older model.
