Handy light

3 years ago

Purchased this light for emergency light and camping. I love all the features. Especially the way you can just have only one side lit up. Great for reading! I like the natural light that give a real color rendering of what you are looking at.

Light up your night life!😂😁

1 year ago

I was looking for a solar panel for this summer to add to my teaching kit for the wilderness kayak courses I do for the Ontario Sea Kayak Center. I used the panel first on my weekend courses and then the wilderness courses. Hands down both the Solarpanel 5+ and Alpen Glow have become an essential part of my kit. Over the course of my six day trips in the middle of Georgian Bay they were vital to my comfort and security, especially the Solarpanel 5+. It is super easy to use and the most reliable panel I have ever used. The Alpen Glow was the perfect light for my tent and the variety of settings allowed me to have a little fun around tha camp as well (the multiple colour lights I call PARTY MODE). Truly great equipment that you can COUNT on.

Best functional & fun light

3 years ago

Bought this cute light and it certainly does light up a dark room even on its dimmest setting. The instructions are easy to understand and the videos were of great help. This light can be of tremendous help if your electricity goes out, as a night light at home or when camping. The technology used in this light is super cool and lets it be much more than just another light for the tent ceiling! It can also recharge other electronics like a cell phone, tablet, blue tooth devices etc. Having alot of fun with this little light!! Seriously, this is the best light I have ever purchased and is so much better than a headlamp or flashlight of any size.

Only one complaint!

3 years ago

Fabulous little light with lots of fun features! The 250 is compact and packs a punch-- plenty bright, yet still light and portable. My ONE major complaint: this lantern doesn't have a USB-C charging input! With most of my other small electronics now taking USB-C charging, I'm going to have to carry a whole separate micro USB cable to charge this lantern, which is a bummer. If BioLite came out with a USB-C version, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Otherwise, great product.

Alpenglow250

3 years ago

So just got both of my new Alpenglow250’s! The first worked amazing and did every thing advertised. The second for some reason couldn’t cycle:( customer service was SUPER FREAKING FAST after I brought the issue up. I actually got to talk to a live person and show the issue I was having. ( that means a lot to me ) I’ll be waiting to hear back on what they are planning on doing. But beside that little bit of issue I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Everyone Loves it!

I bought this on a whim, not sure what I was going to get, but I was tired of burning thru AA batteries on the camp lantern I had for the past 10-15 years. Now instead of entertaining kids, I’m doing this with grandkids. Camping is magical! And it’s a great baby relaxing device!

Great Mini light wherever you may need it!

Bought it primarily for power outages due to spring/sumner storms. This will definitely work great to compliment the bigger Alpine Glow for camping!

Like its big brother the 500, the 250 is a great, versatile light. I have several of each in an off grid cabin and for home. Lover the Alpenglow!!
