“it is nice to finally have a light that shines 360º and is high enough to flood a room or area. It provides a bright, white light that shines for about 4 hours on the brightest setting and much longer if dimmed or shinging in only 270º, 180º, or 90º. We are currently remodeling a home that doesn't have ceiling lights in the bedrooms, living rooms, or dining room. It is great to be able to put one of these in each room and have enought light to work even after the sun has gone down. Also, I really like that I can take the light off of the pole for easy charging and to use the light to charge my phone and other devices. It's a clever design and very well-made. I like them so much I bought 6 to use at work, being able to take them camping is a nice bonus. They arrived undamaged and nicely packaged within a few days after I placed my order.”
