Lighthouse 250 Lantern

The crank works smoothly, and well, is actually easier to crank than older generation crank lanterns that I have, and adequately powers the lantern. It does power small devices too, through the USB port, but it's quite slow to charge, using a Kindle Touch as the device, here. Much better to maintain the device by cranking, if that's what you're going to do, rather than let it power down to empty, first. The light is fully adjustable, and at maximum, is quite bright, with knob rotation. While the lantern is being charged with its own built-in USB plug, it will charge another device, simultaneously. It has a handle at the top and the top has irridescent red plastic panels, with visibility. Very nice unit

Used this for camping in the redwoods. Lighted up a campsite picnic table and it performed really well. Easy to carry around and the stand legs are useful. Battery life is as advertised. Have tried hand cranking from empty and as advertised, after a minute of manual recharging, it does provide enough juice for emergency use. Overall very satisfied and have it stored at home as an emergency light/charger. I have quite a bit of goal zero products and this complements them very well. If more utility is needed, the Goal Zero torch is much better value because it does have a solar charging panel while this lantern does not.

Refurb, but everything seems to work fine. Dropped a star because the mode dial feels a bit flimsey, though it seems to get the job done..

Love it. Light lasts forever but it does take a long time to charge, even from a wall outlet

Outstanding light for camping and somewhat compact. You can adjust the light just right based on your environment. Surprisingly durable since someone accidentally knocked the Goal Zero Lighthouse 4 feet onto the rocks.

This is a wonderful lantern. No batteries so can use in remote areas. Charges phones and computers. Need light or charger? Just wind it up--power source is you! Love it!

Finaly a perfect camp lantern. The directional light is perfect for setting on the table but not having a glaring, bright light in you eyes.

Excellent product for home and camping uses. I bought two and they work great. Recharge phone with USB plug.
