I use this instead of the built-in lights in my truck camper, both to conserve battery and because the internal lights are often too bright for my preference. This thing lights the whole space with a nice, soft light. The voice control is useful when I'm crawling into bed, I can tell it to turn off without having to get up. Note, the voice control turns itself off if the light is off after a time, so I do have to manually turn it back on in the morning. One charge will last a whole weekend. This was a little bit of a "eh this could be nice" purchase, but it's turned into a camping essential for me. Works great in a tent too!
This lantern is great. I love Coast's products. Small profile and lightweight. The voice control is useful. The bright white at 1000 lumens is enough for you to see stars if you stare directly at it. The switch to red or red flashing is also great for stargazing and emergencies. The only con I can see currently is that the voice control shuts off after 15 minutes of down time. It's not actively listening like Alexa, Google, Siri or whatevs. Not a deal breaker. It charges via USB C, also runs off four AA batteries. Can charge phone on rechargeable battery but not on AA batteries. For the price, this is a good car camping light, or for emergency power outage. I paid about 25 bucks at the time of purchase during Labor Day Sale. Will definitely buy more of this technology, especially Coast's voice controlled headlamps.
