Haven RidgeLight - USB Powered Dimmable String Lights - Real Review
What it is : What I have here today is an ultralight lighting solution that you can use for a variety of purposes. For an example, my wife and I own two of these and we’ve used them for hammock camping along the inside of the hammock as part of the ridge line, we use them camping, we use them overlanding the country.
The versatility of this string light is amazing and guess what, the price isn’t bad at all!

Purchase this product using this link and you will be supporting this Agenda Free Channel.
Includes :
Storage bag
Ridgelight
2 Silicon ties so you can cinch the RidgeLight to a line or object
Length : 78” long
Weight : 3.3 oz for the light
The storage bag is 8g
Power Draw : 6 watts at the highest light output
Price : $24
Features :
carabiners at each end for attaching and hanging the light.
Fully dimmable - when the light is on, touch and hold the power switch and it will dim. Repeat and it will get brighter
Silicon wrapped light that is surprisingly oh water resistant. Speaking of which, the company makes no claims of waterproofness or water resistance…my claims are based upon my experiences when using this in extremely wet situations
Review Pros :
Excellent quality
Impressively water resistant - I would keep it as dry as possible but my experiences have been excellent in this department.
Price is very fair
Puts out a lot of light
Dimmable
Extremely lightweight
Easy setup and breakdown - Carabiners make attaching this and stringing it up very easy
The carry bag does add some functionality other than storing the Ridgelight - with that being said, I rarely use it…
Silicon cover does a great job protecting the LEDs.
The silicon cover is also easy to clean - if it gets dirty, you can wipe it off rather easily.
On / off switch works well - touch and it is on. Touch and it is off.
Power consumption is excellent
Review Cons :
I had to think long and hard about this and folks, I couldn’t come up with any cons for this product.
It works well, puts out a lot of light, the weight is low, the price is right…
Summary :
When I first got this item in to test out, I didn’t think for a second that I would enjoy using it as much as I do but I love the Haven Ridgelight;
I know that sounds like a sales pitch but it isn’t. Just in case you don’t know, the channel is Agenda Free; I don’t care if you buy this…that means nothing to me as it doesn’t benefit me at all.
My channel shares information and that’s it.
Anyways, this light is incredibly versatile and as I mentioned you can use this in many, many ways. Tent, Hammock, Vehicle, Tarp, etc
Before wrapping this up, I will share with you all how I carry this light with me on my adventures.
I’m a fan of lightweight storage bags so here I’m using a TT mesh storage bag and inside of it I have a small flashlight, headlamp, power bank and the RidgeLight.
The power bank is from NiteCore, it’s a 10,000mAh pack and it is super lightweight.
The weight of the RidgeLight is 3.3
The weight of the Power Bank is 5.3oz
Together the weight is 8.6oz

Thank you for the share 😊 we worked hard to get the color right... It’s not bright white - hospital lighting LEDs. It’s a very warm light that adds to the ambiance. Thank you again!!
Unfortunately, import costs double the price of the product, would love a set otherwise.
@@christophermaitland hey! Where did you try to ship it to?
@Haven Tents the U.K, even with your EU store the price is doubled 😭
@@christophermaitland ahhh sorry. Post Brexit is rough.
@@HavenTents certainly is, the UK is a large consumer market, high import fees will only deter buyers.
You know it's good when Luke likes it so much he buys a second one 😁
think he's kinda parsimonious?
You get the second one for FREE if you order now
Now the company is sold out because of this video and they can't find anymore child slaves to assemble them.

Wow, what a great word. Even if he isn’t, just the fact that you used it in a sentence impresses me…👏👏
I've been watching you use this in your videos lately. I'm glad you did a review on it. I just ordered one for my 73 yr off dad who lives 100% off grid. He has solar panels for power and has mentioned wanting something like this to light inside his cabin without using alot of power. Super useful! I look forward to him testing it out!
What is he going to plug it in to? You can watch the Solar cabin channel on YT for reviews of all kinds of off grid things.
Your dad sounds AWESOME!
Any updates on what your dad thinks of it?
Love the product, durability, and that it’s dimmable. The bag is great to turn it into a smaller footprint light. Would like to see it capable of white and red light. I often use low level red lighting in a tent at night.
If it's the same as Bonlux you can get a coloured version, we use red for obvious reasons and have them in our get home bags and other kit.
I purchased the original light when it was offered under the name Lumanoodle on a developers website. The concept was the attraction. I have used it for power outages, as a light for cookouts, camping...you name it. It's a truly well thought out bit of kit for many uses. Glad to see someone made a less expensive version.
I have a Luminoodle as well. I got the remote to go with it and I love it in my tent or going for night time walks.
I think this is the 1st review you have ever made with no negatives!
I've been debating getting a string light for camping the last few years but wasn't sure which one would survive actual use. This review cost me 30 bucks lol!
And it's a bargain at twice that! :)
Thank you for the light review. I have ordered 2 Sunday night. Today I get an email that my order is on back order. You have sparked a massive positive response from your viewers about this light. Haven was over loaded with so many orders after your light review. I thank you for your reviews and sharing you thoughts about gear and your adventures. Keep up the fun and reviews.
I've seen you use this many times so it's obvious it's a useful item. You've never said one negative statement about it. High praise, indeed! I think I want one.
Hey Luke, I have to say I truly like this light. I liked this light the first time I saw you use it. I looked it up for the price because I had to have it.
I too like the versatility and can't find any cons for it either. It is awesome.
Thanks for your honest reviews, Luke.
I hope you and Susie like the package I sent y'all.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
🤗HUGS🤗
Haven RidgeLight: This is why I've followed Luke all these years! This light is going to be a great addition to my outdoor life, travels, and activities!
Definitely going to order 2 or 3 of these. I have a tiny teardrop trailer and multiple tents. Lately I've been doing a lot of tent camping and can power them for ever with my EcoFlow Delta.
I absolutely love how you didn't just try it once and review it,but have used it since spring firt.thats a review I will jump behind and just get one now.thank you so verry much.
Thank you for reviewing this light! We just watched this video and we are ordering one. We wondered about this light after watching you use it in so many situations. You really rock Luke!!
I’ve used these for some time! Highly recommend 👍 thanks as always for your informative videos Luke. Matt from 🇬🇧
My wife and I been watching your videos and seeing you using these haven ridge lights we watched your review video on these lights . We really enjoyed and appreciated your honesty on them . We are probably going to order a set or 2 they really look great and should work out for our tent camping trips. Thanks again
I just used this last night camping! best strip light I have ever used! thanks for the recommendation!
Yep I have a couple of the luminoodle colour string light variants and they are very good lights. Came with a remote the same but I cut the receiver off the end of the string and added Bluetooth receivers. Can now control lights with many settings via my phone on Lotus Lantern app.
Thank you Luke. Love this product. I think this would work perfect up under a hammock tarp to keep this older hiker a little safer. Sounds like it's worth the half pound of comfort wieght . I'll keep you posted. Thanks again my friend
Luke, I love those lights! Thanks for sharing your review!💡
Bought one a few months ago after seeing you use it. Love it! Great product, great review Luke.
I am so glad that you are reviewing this. I am liking it.
I saw you using that light strip a few weeks ago. I immediately ordered one. I love it. It is so useful.
Thanks for the review Luke. I Just ordered a set of these to use with my various tent setups. I usually carried a small lantern, but seemed too focused and had to move it around depending on what I was doing. These are perfect!
Thank you for the review Luke. I was looking for a good lighting system…bought it. This is the second product I have purchased based upon your review. You rock air!
Thank you for sharing this, seen it used on your vids for a while and loved the look of them, just ordered two to the UK. Love your vids always helps me smile take care and stay safe brother
I take a 10x10 canopy with my family when we go to the beach. This is a great solution for lighting when we stay late. Thanks for the review, Luke!
I ordered one of these the first time I saw a video of yours using it. I don't regret it at all. Glad I jumped on board when I did
Thanks for reviewing this Luke. Ordered two to have on hand for power outages. Have had a few of those lately here in central NC, should come in handy.
I have been so intrigued with this light, I went ahead and bought one just last week. Thanks for the review!
I have two, and absolutely love them.
Watched this last night on my TV so commenting was not a thing. I saw you with this light months ago. I immediately saw promise and went right out and bought one. I have come to the same conclusions as yourself. Great little piece of kit, low power draw very flexible literally and figuratively speaking. I love it.
If you have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product then I will be buying it! Thanks for all you do!
If you ever questioned the impact of your reviews:
I watched this video the evening of the very day it came out. I immediately picked up my laptop and ordered this light. I received an email from Haven Tent the very next morning apologizing and saying that as a result of your review that they had almost immediately sold out of all the lights they had in stock! And it might be several weeks before mine would ship. 😳
Your reviews do have impact!
I’ve been watching you with that light for a while. I really like it and it seems to be a great light too. Thanks Luke for the review. ❤
Just ordered one. Thanks for the great review!
I have been eyeing that in your videos for along time. Thanks for the review…”no cons” - enough for me. I bought one. Incidentally…so did everyone else! The site says that due to your review they are temporality out stock! The power of TOGR!
This light is great in every way and I’ll be buying at least 7 of these. A few for me and 4 for gifts for my outdoors peeps. Thanks for the introduction to this great product. ~KP
Thank you for showing this! Was looking for this quite some time!! Until the next adventure
This video is perfect timing. I was just trying to figure out in your previous Ian video what light strip you were using and hoping you'd do a video on this light strip! I'm gonna pick one up now, thank you!
I’ve been curious about this! Thanks!
This is perfect! I was looking for something like this. Awesome Luke thanks again
You are such a great guy. I wish you reviewed everything I will ever buy! Thank you!
This is awesome man! Thank you! Already loved LED strips for years, had a powerbank for years, but yet never thought of this reality. Thanks again, likely to use it over at friends when its too dark in certain spots, and also in my car when its too early or late but i have to be in the car and dont want to be tired!! 🙏✨
Outstanding review! I’m sold! Gonna grab two… thank you Luke
I love this light product, I would use this when the power goes out. Your review are very important to me, you are very true full, thank you God bless you
Thank you!, Luke!
That's what I'm talking about!
Exactly the kind of product I'm looking for, now I want to buy it.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Great, timely video Luke !!! I have been trying to find what lights you were using and was about to pull the trigger on a lesser product. How long will the light run on your power supply?
from haven website - Due to an unforeseen spike in demand from Luke's review on TheOutdoorGearReview, we are temporarily sold out of RidgeLights. But more are on the way!! - hahahaha - just pre ordered 2 - hope they support you Luke - great channel
Luke
Fireman here i was just talking to a neighbor to weeks ago for some kind of light for in the house and back yard I know if it works out for you it will work out for me I'm so glad to see this to day I will check into this and get some Thanks for the review Strength and honor Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
I'll be getting one of these to try out in my pop up ice shelter this winter. Thanks for all The great videos
I'm going to get one of these just to keep in my car for emergencies. Thanks for the review. We can always count on your honestt.
I picked this up after seeing it in several of your videos previously. I can only sing the same praise as you have, it just works and it works well.
Always love your shows always.
So, I bought two of these, and all I can say it's a well thought out product.
I liked mine so much I bought two more of these.
I enjoy the ability to adjust the length, the taughtness, and it has mini carabiners, and loops at the end. Like options for your options.
Excellent product and brightness
have watched it in use in your videos and am glad to know about it, great product
Luke: I've been using this light setup in the UK for a couple of years now and I'm feeling really smug now I have TheOutdoorGearReview's seal of approval. Many thanks
Great review Luke on an awesome product 👍👍
Purchased one a while back as a lightweight option for backpacking and motorcycle camping, haven't looked at anything else and can't fault it. Love the system so much have recommended it to other like minded friends and family as there is no other light system even close to its portability and versatility.
A headlamp can do almost everything this can and is also hands-free and practical for trips to the latrine. Plus mine was around $30 or maybe even less, and it included the battery. And many new designs come with a firefly mode to conserve battery or to not blind anyone.
Thanks for the info and review, just ordered for extra emergency lighting.
I have had mine for almost a year with zero issues. I also would highly recommend it.
Just bought one because of this video. Glad it showed up in my suggested videos.
I bought one after seeing it in one of your videos, like it so much I bought a 2nd as well. Works great folks!!
Must be a good product you have no negatives, love your honest reviews.
"If you buy this, it does nothing for me at all. I don't care."
This is why I watch your channel. Another great review.
Thank you.
I’m glad I could learn about this.❤
Best camping light ever! That's for the information brother!
Glad to see this review. I’ve been looking for some string lights for camping and this looks like the one I’m going to get.
Looks they’re sold out after this review 😂. But I was able to pre order a set 🤙
Definitely cool. Kinda makes any downside or complaints of a tarp or tent not have a loop for a lantern irrelevant. On their site they show it all bunched up in yelow a bad so the bag glows like a lantern or giant light bulb. Truly cool stuff
Great review! I'm sold! I'm purchasing two of them. This would have been extremely useful on our recent Poconos camping trip!
There are so many of those kind of lights out there, thanks for doing a review. I like it, so I will purchase several for my cabin, whether for a light or a night light it is so awesome. Stay safe and Blessings
Saw this video tonight. Have noticed you using this and I am glad you did a quick review of it thanks. I will purchase it and use on a trip next month... kind of a car camping but on a harley Ultra from Florida to Indiana. Probably stop in Georgia initially and then again half way between Indiana and upper Indiana. Will do same power pack deal and setup in a tent... Motorcycle/harley tent camping. Thanks my friend.
Good product and it does add a nice warm ambiance to your videos ! 👍
Love your videos so much that my wife and myself have decided to try camping again not quite the same as you but just trying to camp at some state parks
Excellent review and points.
Everything I've seen with your review of the light looks like an excellent product to me I'd buy it in a heartbeat it's compact easy to use I said it's looks like it worked great and it did 👍
I've been using ENO's Twilights for several years with no major complaints. These look like an even better, more convenient option.
I was hoping you'd review this. With such a glowing (pun intended) review, I now know where to go in buying one
thanks Luke I was looking for a light for my canvas tent and this product will work thank😉
After watching you with it for months, I already snaged one. I'll use it car camping. I also think it would be great as backup lighting in case of Hurricanes outages. S & H Luke & Fam.
Looks good. I think it would do great in my tent. I have been watching you from r quite sometimes now and seen you use it a lot. Thanks
I just texted you about this and was glad you Responded and then I watched your review now going to purchase thanks to you
What a GREAT review!!! I have coveted one of these since the first time you showed it in an adventure. Where- how would I use it? Let me COUNT the ways! As part of my household emergency kit, my car (I'm night blind so need light for changing a tire, car issue, bad weather, etc.) picnics, and camping! It would be a multi- functioning tool equal to a water bottle and camp stove!!! I'm giving them as holiday gifts to three people!
This looks awesome! I have been doing some strip light stuff with my van and they have been cool to play with. But this is an all in one solution. It has the silicone cover and USB ready. I think this would make a great addition to my adventure bike kit or just when in my truck camping in the bed with the shell.
Just ordered 2 of them! Thanks Luke
I have two of them, from ali-express. Excellent product
I bought it on back order. It can come in handy anywhere. Thanks
Considered one of these for a while, creates a great mood light. Certainly on my list to buy now👍
Congrats on 500K!
Love this! Thanks.
I have just bought one. It is great! Thx Luke! :)
Master Luke, Is this the first ever review, with no con’s? I don’t ever remember any other one this discussed. If is, I’m going to order me one. Oops, just ordered one. Another great vid.
I got something similar to that on Amazon a few years ago...LED string lights, silicone hangers, and a bag. One was warm white, one was red. Got something similar from Big Agnes too. The big difference I see on this one is dimmability.
I still gravitate to my Luci lanterns...mainly cause I can use them like a backup flashlight too.
Love those lights always wondered the name of them and where you picked them up. Thanks for letting us know about them . Thanks Luke Ontario
My mantra actually is “if in doubt throw it out” but I just ordered one of these and can’t wait to use it!
Went to buy one, they sold out due to this review! 😊 pre-orders do get a free set of ultralight carabiners. Yes, I have a pre-order in.
I have one very similar, just about exactly the same without the on/off switch and I love mine. Definitely having the dimmable on/off switch is very useful as well.
Luke says it’s great. They’re gonna sell out in a heart beat!
I had bought similar from Amazon a few years ago, it was bought to coincide with a massive 5m canvas tipi shelter I had bought for a multi person winter trip, I to was impressed with it it comes with me on any trips now. Can't remember the name but just the exact same. It's in my sidepouch of my rucksack the now 😂👍
Another great review. Have to say, yours is one of my favorite channels. Would love to see some reviews on camper shell tent extensions.
I bought this last spring after I saw it in one of Luke's camping adventures. I can give you something else that this is great for. Reading in my tent. I have always had issues with reading in my tent with a regular tent light. I had to get the book set in a specific angle to get the light, which also meant I had to adjust myself to be able to read at that angle. This lights is spread out so the angle of the book is far less important and I can read in my most relaxing position. I also have something not good though and I cannot quite figure it out. Almost all power banks work with it, but I have one that I recharge my phones and other things with that will not work with this. I think it is because that power bank is probably built just to recharge things and the power draw on this, at least at less than full brightness, is not enough for the power bank to sense it so it shuts down in about 10 seconds.
