This is awesome. I bought two of these to bring with me to Gambella in Ethiopia. To give to my great aunt and auntie and cousins who live in huts in there village. They do not have access to electricity. So the fact that they are solar powered is perfect. Thank you very much
Goalzero awesome product. One thing to enhance this for future products. I'm a backpacker, and try to go ultralight, this light is awesome, ultralight, love it. But it's almost a bowl, if you make it slightly more useful as a bowl, more backpackers would use this product. The bowl is already 99% of the way there, and it already is a bowl for dry stuff, but if more water proofing was made on the inside for the bowl. That would be 100% awesome. With this you can have a line of items of different size bowls/light combinations. Someone else mentioned to have a larger solar panel, which with a lager bowl/light combo, he satisfy would be completed as well. Awesome product, just one little enhancement t to make it so so much better.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. We appreciate your input and will pass this along to our engineers and product development teams so they're aware of what our supporters are looking for in future products.
This is a great product ! It does seem to take forever to to recharge in bright sunshine though. In fact I have been unable to have it recharge in a full day of sunshine but this is a really great lamp.
Seriously! I live in NM where it’s sunny all the time and I’ve NEVER been able to get a decent charge on a full day of sun! The light dies within 2 hours tops while running on low! My old solar lantern from another brand sat in a pond for a year and still works better than this piece of crap.
It also has warm light which is perfect for relaxing and resting. Friendlier in humanitarian situations when people need to be comforted. The color temperature of the light plays a very important role in our mood. It would be great to have a warm mode on the goal zero lighthouse lanterns, at least on the 400.
mine just keep blinking all the different colors, then turns off after the lantern mode. i just bought it today, but i cant keep it on or keep it at one color at all.
When I turn on my new lantern it starts bright, goes to the next level down, then the next brightness down, then flickers and turns off. Have tried holding the button down for over ten seconds many times to no avail. What gives?
I just got one and mine doesn't work like that. The power button for the different settings doesn't work properly. I was hoping I was doing it wrong and this video would show me. Nope... guess not. Great design otherwise. Update: it was in demo mode. Appears I have the 3 different light settings of high, med, weak; but now the candle option seems to have disappeared. Oh well, candle was least interesting to me. At least I don't have to return it now.
What part in the engineering process you decided to claim false solar charging times and run times? I own this light and at low I don’t get more than 25 hours of run time and solar charging takes a lot longer than 20 hours.
So you can hang it from things. Take handle off, find a hanging rack or tent pole inside tent, a tree limb, anything that doesn't have free or accessible ends. Slide handle around the object and to lamp reattach, so it hangs from the object.
@@bebrasha Oh! I see now. I was like, how can you hang it, if you took the handle off? It seemed contradictory. It allows you to loop it around the object. Got it. Thanks!
On electric charge at room temperature, I get 6.5 hours of high white light setting, 12 hours of demo mode setting, 13 hours on red light setting, and 37.5 hours at low white setting.
Nice device, I wish that manufacturers of those camping lights would spend a second button though, so you do not always have to cycle through all settings to reach a specific one. Would be so convenient to go up and down and not only in one direction! Goal Zero....do you listen???
Please, step up the quality! I almost died while backpacking because this light is garbage! I got stuck on a mountaintop with all of my lanterns not working even though 2 had been in full sun all day long and my other 2 were hooked up to a battery pack all day! I got about 2 hours of light max! Also, please add a battery gauge of some sort. This is a life or death design flaw! The light died prematurely as I was going down a cliff and I barely made it out alive.
Thanks for your feedback. We tried to keep everything as lightweight and portable for various scenarios, but you can pair this with any Goal Zero Nomad solar panel to help with solar charging.
Not true. Charged mine up. And only will stay on for about 20 secs. What a waste of money and a total mis-selling. It doesnt cycle through 5 modes. It just turns on and off and when on it goes off within about 20 secs. Very very disappointed
“There’s always a way for you to get some light” Thank you brother and people at Goal Zero ✌️😊💛

Thank you for your efforts after Harvey. From a Houstonian
I'm a huge goal zero fan, I have no doubt several of these will make it into my collection.
Super frustrated because my &#$56++ light keeps going back into demo mode . Why just why would you program a light to be so difficult.
I have so many goal zero products and they are amazing just love them so much

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. We appreciate your input and will pass this along to our engineers and product development teams so they're aware of what our supporters are looking for in future products.
So smart. Never thought of why bending it would be so helpful. Now off to buy one.
Bolt Lite is cheaper and has a power bank
This is a great product ! It does seem to take forever to to recharge in bright sunshine though. In fact I have been unable to have it recharge in a full day of sunshine but this is a really great lamp.

We just bought a Crush Light and love it
I like it. The part about keeping it in your office or car for emergency use is a great idea but you have to remember to keep it charged.
mine just keep blinking all the different colors, then turns off after the lantern mode. i just bought it today, but i cant keep it on or keep it at one color at all.
Very interesting and smart. Congratulations! I love your job and what you do ❤️
Please add a battery gauge so I know if I’ll be screwed or not.
October 18 2022 . Last week . I just bought 2 crush light from Rei. They well not stay on .
Ditto for my new light
Are the batteries replaceable?
What's the difference between the crush and crush chroma?
How do i take it out of the demo mode
Me too. I can’t get out of it hahah
Same here
Hold the power button down for 10 seconds.
mine is is not working. when i turn it on it flickers then completely off.
Same here
Can i use it while it is charged?
While it is charging? Yes!
@@goalzero Sorry, that is what i meant x) Thanks for the answer.
When I turn on my new lantern it starts bright, goes to the next level down, then the next brightness down, then flickers and turns off.
Have tried holding the button down for over ten seconds many times to no avail.
What gives?
Mine did the same thing. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds and it will take it off Demo mode.
can you put a solar panel on a venture 30, another good idea
Nice product iv never had a goal zero product break on me!😎✌🏽️
try having dogs chew on it :|
Another nice product.
Mine keeps on shutting down right after i put it on
Mine too
I did not have good luck with this product , I would a 5 out a 10 this product.
I just got one and mine doesn't work like that. The power button for the different settings doesn't work properly. I was hoping I was doing it wrong and this video would show me. Nope... guess not.

Glad you got it to work!

Why would you want to take the handle off, so you can loose it?
So you can hang it from things. Take handle off, find a hanging rack or tent pole inside tent, a tree limb, anything that doesn't have free or accessible ends. Slide handle around the object and to lamp reattach, so it hangs from the object.
@@bebrasha Oh! I see now. I was like, how can you hang it, if you took the handle off? It seemed contradictory.

Interesting little light source. Now I think, how it can be used in photography...🤔
Kind of off topic. But, does anyone know of a group I can join that goes out and helps when Hurricanes, Earthquakes and other natural disasters occur?
The American Red Cross
On electric charge at room temperature, I get 6.5 hours of high white light setting, 12 hours of demo mode setting, 13 hours on red light setting, and 37.5 hours at low white setting.
Could be just luck of the supplier draw, but the 2 lanterns I ordered from Amazon noticeably outperformed the lanterns I purchased elsewhere.
Why my keep shutting off

bigger solar panels will be better love zero product

Goal Zero I know I do lot of dry camping less things to the backpack better but I like anyway thanks
That's a bold lie about it being waterproof. Read so many reviews of it not working after being left in the rain
Not true. Charged mine up. And only will stay on for about 20 secs. What a waste of money and a total mis-selling. It doesnt cycle through 5 modes. It just turns on and off and when on it goes off within about 20 secs. Very very disappointed
you can buy a Bolt Lite for 4 bucks cheaper and it has a power bank for phones.
