BioLiteAlpenglow Multicolor USB Lantern with Rechargeable Battery and Charging Port, AlpenGlow 250

A little pricey, but worth the price. Bought mainly for camping. Love the flicker effect, and the rechargeable battery lasts long.

I consider it too big and heavy for backpacking (get the mini for that).It is perfect for car camping and canoe camping.It has 4 modes.The white light is very bright, it can be dimmed by continuing to press on the power button.The candle is less bright and yellow(ed).A plain color.A dual color.With the last 3, shaking provides a flickering candle and rotating color.It had dual ports; it is easy to charge, takes no batteries, and will charge a phone.It is rain proof, not leave in a puddle proof.Perfect for a little light while eating or sitting around the fire.I got it 25% off.4 stars at full price.

Yes I know its expensive, but it is pretty darn cool with all the color options and "fire works" mode... just give it a shake.We took this camping, use it at our home fire pit, and used it during Halloween while handing out candy.

It's bright, the colors look saturated and I like most of the lighting modes. I wish this had a few more options for customizing the light though. Like being able to change the color of the candle flicker light, or being able to lock the light mode while it is on to prevent the accelerometer from changing the mode.Docking one star because the multicolor mode on the Alpenglow 250 is better. On the 250, each half of the lantern is a different but solid color and it looks great when put against a wall. On the 500 each of the LEDs is a different color and the result just looks muddy. I also would like the interface updated to USB-C.

This is perfect when we walk at night, and we can hang it on our backpack.

This was smaller than I was expecting, but it is plenty bright.

Just received this light that I bought for our upcoming New Hampshire lake/woods trip. The small form factor is fantastic. The while and soft color modes are awesome as well as the difference color modes. My kids are playing with it now. Definitely bright enough to illuminate a large area with the color or softness to match the desired mood.
