This is by far one of our most favorite pieces of gear in our off-grid trailer. The multi-color party mode is fun, but the red light option is HUGE. If my partner wants to read or write at night while I’m sleeping, he’ll use the SunLight. We also like to hang it on the outside of our Scamp in the evening as a patio light that’s super easy to recharge in the sun the next day. BioLite killed it with this one!!
This thing is awesome! Thanks for helping me get out of demo mode 😂 the lights started flickering with an incoming storm and I thought hmm… time to figure this out
It reminds me of first generation GoPro cameras in its one button function set up, although to be fair, the GoPro was two buttons. Just received mine, happy with product, great functionality and different colours! Hopefully it will join me in many adventures to come! Great product, Biolite!
Thank you so much for making this video! I couldn't figure out how to get my SunLight out of demo mode. Now I know and I'm so excited to begin using it!
For those interested in seeing the Sundial in action, you can see it at 00:48 mark in our SunLight Intro Video (the dot appears in the upper left corner!): th-cam.com/video/Om50rLZKOyQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow such a helpful video, thank you! Have just bought this light for camping and it is so bright and amazing for such a compact device & solar powered too!
The constant flashing while it's charging is super annoying. Perhaps include a small LED light on the side of the unit that indicates successful charging?
super clear and understandable. ThankU! I have two of these. On one, it keeps flashing green plugged in to usb charger. On the 2nd one, it seemed to stop flashing altogether (when plugged in to usb charger, after flashing green for a while). Art in Michigan USA
you should keep working on it. When it's low battery I should absolutely be able to dim it down. I should be able to dim down any RGB. Keep yourself the party mode. No one needs it. Having an equivalent of long lasting stealthy green or red chemical light would make even the military interested
Ty @ ~ 5:30. That info needs to be added to your user manual & FAQ. I thought something was wrong, that the flashing was going to run down the battery, & wrote to ask how to make this stop. Please, for customer's sake add that the blinking white light indicates the sunlight is charging properly & this cannot be turned off.
I have question, After few months of not using my two lamps, I decided to charge them, I put them on the sun but there was no flashing, so decide to use power, but no luck. Any advice? Maybe they are somehow lock or something? I didnt drop them or anything like that, they were just lying behind my tv. Thank you for any help
Questions: - Can this run full time on USB at my desk as an ambient light source when I'm not using it for camping? (like a desk lamp) - Are the color LEDs dimmable like the white primary LEDs? - Does the RGB allow cycling to a warm yellow amber? (similar color to one of those Himalayan salt lamp deals) Thanks!
Kodiak Firesmith - I don’t see why not. - No, sadly. - Might take some fine-tuning adjustment to get the exact shade you’re looking for, but it cycles through the whole color spectrum, so it should be possible.
Hey Jenna, Runtime really depends on what mode you're using. The SunLight runs for up to 4 hours on High and up to 50 hours on Low. It will stay on and keep running until you turn it off.
@@jennamurphy9614 It works great as a night light and will last for a really long time if you dim it down a bit. Just keep in mind if you're leaving it on consistently overnight, you'll have to charge it up during the day.
If I’m charging it using a phone charger in a wall outlet, how long until it’s supposed to start flashing green? It’s been 3 hours and is still flashing yellow....
Hey there - It should take a couple of hours to charge up fully. If you have any more q's or are experiencing longer charge times please send us a note here: www.bioliteenergy.com/pages/contact
I bought one. Its great! Simple to turn on and off. Does not have a bazillion flashing modes. Yet it can be dimmed easily, and various colors can be chosen.
Dreadfully poor instruction sheet. Especially since it doesn’t even seem to mention demo mode. So it was a good thing you made the video. Turns out it’s more useful than I thought. Just wish it had a lock mode. The stand on top is pretty lame for that.

I've had two of these for about three years now and I simply hate them. The solar chargers never worked, and now the USB charging is failing. And who thought the o e button = 42 functions interface was a good idea? They are going into the tech recycle and I'm definitely not buying new ones.
too complicated for setting, without reading the manuel you can hardly know how to press once/twice or how long you should hold. To make it simple, i would rather to have more buttons to control.

Great company, and innovative, useful products. I regularly enjoy my growing BioLite collection. Thanks for all you do in India and South Africa.

Thank you for this.
I also didn’t know there was a demo mode, or how to get out of it.
I also learned that it’s dimmable. I had no idea.

glad I watch the instructions i would have been a little confused with the colors ..
Great product. Workimg on the review now. Got this with the solar home 620. Got that review up as well. Fantastic products

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more helpful than the manual. Makes me a happy camper =)
So glad you found it useful!
Thank you for the instruction. I had problems with the demo mode. But I think the lamp is too complicated with one button and so many functions.
I agreed, i woild rather to have more button to control.
Thanks for a very instructive video
This is a great product, i actually needed to use mine the first day i got it. I bought something that i used!!
very nicely presented with details
Excellent walk through! 👍
Absolutely love mine! Thank you for this video 👍
Thanks for the video because the multi-language owners manual just doesn't cut it.
super clear and understandable. ThankU!
I have two of these.
On one, it keeps flashing green plugged in to usb charger.
On the 2nd one, it seemed to stop flashing altogether (when plugged in to usb charger, after flashing green for a while).

How long in the sunlight do you get a full charge?
why my biolight won't charge?
Same issue here. Only one out of 4 will charge via sunlight or usb.

Is this the same as Biolite Sunlight 100 Lantern portable solar power outdoor camping led light ?
it's funny that somehow this thing is complicated and I need to go to the internet to figure out how it works
love the color function! however i am in between of getting one, my only other option would be the crush zero, however couldnt decide yet

Is it possible to save the colors you like and with only one press setting set the light to the color you saved before? Thx
Just got this light, amazingly intelligent :)

Does the Biolite Sunlite have a indicater when charging
Hi, where can I find the into video you mention please? About the sundial
Hello! This video th-cam.com/video/Om50rLZKOyQ/w-d-xo.html covers it.
i'd like to watch another torch/lamp for comparison. A customer likes to choose either this ot that
Great light
Are these water resistance also? Curious. Thanks!
Our BioLite SunLight has an IPX4 rating which will hold up in a light rain, splash, or morning dew quite nicely. Hope this helped.
Tried to charge mine and not responding to charging in any way or turning on.
How long will it run for? Does it time out after a while or just stay on until the battery runs out?
Hey Jenna, Runtime really depends on what mode you're using. The SunLight runs for up to 4 hours on High and up to 50 hours on Low. It will stay on and keep running until you turn it off.
@@BioLiteChannel thanks. Is there any harm to keeping it on all the time? I mostly bought it as a night light lol

Do i have to toggle through all modes even if i just want to use the regular white light?
Hey Alexander, the default setting is white, so if you only want white lantern mode, you should be all set to just click on and off.
I bought one. Its great! Simple to turn on and off. Does not have a bazillion flashing modes. Yet it can be dimmed easily, and various colors can be chosen.
Dreadfully poor instruction sheet. Especially since it doesn’t even seem to mention demo mode. So it was a good thing you made the video. Turns out it’s more useful than I thought. Just wish it had a lock mode. The stand on top is pretty lame for that.
Can I just turn on to the white lantern and turn off without going through the different modes?
Yup! If you turn it off in white lantern mode, it'll turn back on in that setting.

Dim up? Dim means to reduce light output. It doesn't go both ways.
There is dim (reduce light intensity) or brighten.

So it can charge itself duh
