This past weekend I went out to camp at a paintball field the night before an event. Showed up at about 1:30 A.M., pitch black, no lighting to set up tent. This sucker lit up everything, om top of that there was a huge breeze coming through that made sentting up the tent difficult, much less putting trust in the stand. So the stake footing option given was more than perfect for what I needed in the given scenario. I knocked out for 4 hours, woke up at 5 A.M. to basically same conditions to set up a pop up gazebo at the fields staging grounds, again pitch black and gusty. The light made everything possible. Great product 10/10 5 stars wpuld 100% recommend to all who have shown late to camp at night.
