Hello Michael,
The battery should take about 8 hours to fully charge and should last at least 4 hours on high. I sent you an email so we can figure out what's happening with the product you received.
Thanks,
Kolby
“I like them but …
You should include a protective bag for the solar panels that packs along with the light and stands.
Use a USBC plug for power. The mini USB connector is crap and you have to fine with it to orient it correctly into a small recessed space.
I don’t trust the plastic hole that is supposed to retain the light to the post. Lots of play and honestly it feels like the base of the light would snap if it fell while it had the solar panel attached due to the extra leverage or if it got hit while in transit in my Jeep.
Price could be better. I would do it to $100 a light with solar.
We’ll see hope they hold up.
Cheers,
Justin”
“I finally got to fully test out this light and it worked great... for 1 hour. I had it on high for the full duration and was expecting 4 hours like how the description says. The radius was good and it wasn't blindingly bright. I let the light charge overnight and it still gave me just 1 hour of light time when tested. This product has great potential but it's not worth the price tag for the little time you get with it. I have contacted Devos to see if mine is just defective.”
“I bought the LightRanger before going on my first Overlanding trip with some friends and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. The LightRanger is easy to use, quick and easy to set up and take down, and provides good area lighting as well as a good run time. I also got to use it in a home power outage. I do wish it had more telescoping sections making it an overall shorter package when stowed and a remote control would be nice, but overall it is a good light and I would recommend it.”
