The Best LED Camping Lantern on the Market

The main reason I picked this lantern was for its large internal battery (much larger than the competition) and brightness. At 500 lumen it feels like old gas lamps I used to use and with the warm glow option it looks them too. I was tired of inflatable solar lanterns leaking, breaking, and not char...

Not Worth the Money or Wait

It worked well but it was much smaller than I thought it would be. I can't even imagine what the small one would be like. While I like it, it definitely wasn't worth the money. It also to a very long time to get it. I ordered it in late spring and received it at the very end of summer.

Every New Parent Needs One For The Nursery!

I have used our AG500 for several things over the past few years of owning it. Camping, sitting out back on the porch, center table piece for dinners and hangouts. It's clutch for all the above-mentioned scenarios. With that said, until 3 months ago, when my wife and I had our first baby, we never really knew its ultimate purpose...the Nursery Light! This thing has been clutch in our baby's room. It's mobile so we can move it to the chair for bedtime stories. We can have it at the changing table through the night for those late-night/early-morning changes. Soft yellow light for winding down, red light for the times we need to change her but not try to wake her up. It's a game-changer for sure. Every parent of a young child needs this light in their nursery. You will not regret it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This is my second AlpenGlow 500. They make ideal night lights, perfect for midnight trips to the bathroom or kitchen, without having to turn other lights on. While all the settings are very cool, the candle flicker is my favorite- and the charge lasts forever on that settting!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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)
