“The lights themselves get a 4/5, but the stands deserve a 2/5 at best.
Light output is great, love the ability to adjust between white, amber, and red. The battery lasts a pretty long time at least if you're not using it at full output – as a camp light it lasted me a couple of nights in amber mode around the campsite/campfire, but as a work light on full power white I would have to stop working to charge it or swap lights (but I mostly use it as a camp light, so I'm fine with the battery life).
I wish there was a way to turn it on to something other than 100% full brightness white on all 4 sides. Like a long press starting it at 0% and ramping it up to 100%. It's jarring if you're turning it on at a campsite in full darkness to blind everyone. Or have it remember it's previous state. So if I last had it on at 10% amber on one side only, turn back on to 10% amber on one side only instead of all 4 sides 100% white. And you can't reliably do that with the bluetooth app since bluetooth shuts off on the light after a while and it won't connect until you turn the light on (again starting at full brightness).
The stands are miserable. The only thing they have going for them are the holes for stakes. The levers to tighten the sections get stuck and bend/deform. Half the time they don't have enough holding power to keep the sections from sliding down, unless you tighten down the bolts with a hex key, but then they're too tight to close. I'm probably going to 3D print an adapter to use regular photo lightstands instead.
For the price, a little better programming would make the lights a 5/5 but I would still skip the stands unless they revise them.”
“Best portable light ever! The different colors are so useful for hunting , astronomy etc. Add the 4 way direction control and you have the best lighting ever”
Hi Robert, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the versatility of your LightRanger 2000 2-pack and that the color modes and directional control are working well for you.
“Awesome lights. Love the built in color selection as well. An update or an improved APP, these lights would be perfect and worth every penny.
Game changer when the app and the lights work as they should.
Can’t wait until that all comes together.”

“The lights are great but their customer service is phenomenal. One of my lights was not working and I called to let them know. Not only did they send me a replacement but they let me keep the damaged light for whatever issue I needed for. That’s top notch service. Thank you.”

“I love the light and how it functions. It is super bright and appreciate the ease of having the app ti control the lights. I don't have to bring the light down to change the settings. I can control everything and appreciate this over a remote. When it is paired with motion sensor it is even better as I can rest easy when needing light.”
