Verified Purchase:Yes
I recently bought and brought it on 3 days camping with my club members. They were all impressed about the way it looked and stretched the stand very high that they have NOT seem one like the Skylight. A couple of people wanted to purchase the Skylight. It was very bright and did NOT need to make it full light level for couple of camping tables together. It also was used and charged from my Yeti 1000 Lithium for two nights. Now, I do NOT need to bring several lantern for night campings. It seemed I felt it was very expensive for LED ligjt, but it was money worth.

Awesome heavy-duty light

This is a big boi! Comes in a heavy duty case which is actually good for me because I've been keeping it in the back of my truck on camping trips. Super quick and easy to set up, kind of like a trigger mechanism to release the tripod. So far the base of the tripod has been a good size, even on kind of uneven terrain. I have several telescoping light poles from different brands and this one has similar brightness but can get even taller than the other ones I have. I've paired it with my Yeti 1500 to power it and it works well on full brightness. I haven't tried to see how long it lasts on full power but I'd imagine it can provide light for many, many hours.

Great light and they stand behind it!

I am giving this company 5 stars due to the fact they stand behind their work! I absolutely love my light it is bright and does exactly what it is supposed too. But twice I have had to send it back do to malfunctions and it has been the easiest company to work with by far no questions asked just send it back and they send a new one. That’s hard to find now days.

Works Great

Great product and versatile. Have had it for over a year and it has come in handy. Although the internal battery seems to discharge quickly. Goal Zero products have been great. Waiting for ht home back up system to arrive.

Should be even better for the price
on April 21, 2025
Posted by: Spinninfours
The light works great and it cost enough so it should have someway to charge when in case by 12volt and or 110 power while I'm driving. The case is awkward to handle especially when trying to twist cap on or off. The idea is solid but could be better

I purchased it as an addition to my back up plan in case of a weather-related power failure. I owned several Goal Zero power systems and used then frequently around the house and when camping. For the longest time I was contemplating purchasing a high lumens lamp to use in my back yard during family outings and while camping, as well as an inside lamp in my living room in case of a power failure. I finally acquire it, and I am very satisfied with my purchase, even when the price is a high one and not suitable for many families' budget. What I like the most is the internal battery that allows me to set it up and start using it even when no connected to one of my batteries, plus the capacity of setting the lumens intensities according to my needs. Usually, weather-related power failures can hit you even when in your vicinity is not directly affected. That is when this light system is very helpful since you can get it set up and functioning in no time. For back yard family activities is an A+ as well since it allows you to cover lot of ground at once. In the camping setting, is perfect since is easy to move around and set up in no time. What I do not like much is the price but, I see it as a long-time investment, plus is bulky so, for elderly people and very young fellows is a little bit challenging to manage it.
