EXCELLENT packable lantern
The Crush Light's are a fantastic, packable lantern! They are very lightweight and last a long time, especially when used in the lower light setting. Because they pack flat they are great to have on hand during power outages. overall a great small lantern for any outdoor activities.

dead after a year
I have two of these, bought in the same year. Both are dead. I've tried charging for days to no avail. (Same charging setup charges other devices.) As far as I can tell these are not repairable, which is quite unfortunate. I would not buy these again.

Still works after 4+ years of heavy use!
I got this lantern in fall 2019. I have used it on every single backpacking, ski mountaineering, and car camping trip. It’s incredibly reliable considering it’s lightweight, folds flat, and is 100% solar powered. It’s hard to believe I’ve never had issues with it turning on or off or holding power throughout the night even when recharging during PNW cloudy days. For its size, weight, power performance, recharge rate and party vibes with the changing colors, I can’t imagine what other lantern I’d want or need. Truly an item I love and never leave at home.

This is one tough product
I bought a Crush Light on impulse last year for my son for Christmas and I've been amazed at how well it has held up over a year. He's really hard on the things that he enjoys playing with, and his Crush Light has been bent, folded, chewed on a bit, dropped many times, left outside, filled with water(!), and crushed and uncrushed hundreds of times. And it still works, we use it like a flashlight on walks around the neighborhood. So kudos on making one tough product.

Awesome Go Anywhere Light
I keep this folded up on my dashboard to keep it charged. I have used this at night on the side of the road when I had a flat tire, perfect to light my way to change the tire and to alert the traffic that I was there. I am ordering more for presents, anyone that gets in my car picks it up and wants one :) Thank you for such a great light, love the color changes too :)

Love it - but
I have 3 of these - super cool and battery lasts forever. My only concern is that now 2 of them have broken handles - can new handles be ordered?

Love this light!
Bought this for my daughters. They use it as a nightlight every night. Collapsible so we take it on trips with us. Runs for hours, even on high brightness. Love the colors but also standard white color and the candle/flicker option is cool. We use it outside for get togethers also, everyone asks questions about it. Happily recommend this and am going to buy more. Of note, do not leave out in the rain. I fried one when left out during rainy season but Goal Zero sent me a new one. Righteous customer service.

Great little light
Excellent, portable, foldable light for camping and home use. On the dimmest setting, a charged light will work for a day and a half.

What's the best way to store these lights between uses (over winter), to protect/preserve the batteries?

Mine will not charge by using the solar panel. Is there anything special I need to do? I bought it purely for this feature and it is such a bummer it won't work.

What are the differences between the Crush Light Chroma and the Crush Light? I haven't found any...
May 27, 2019
I got out of demo mode thanks to this page, but how do I cycle between the different operation modes now? For example, the white light mode or the flickering mode? Thanks - Jeremy

is there a fade mode in color mode?

I can’t seem to get it out of demo mode. I’ve held it for over 10 seconds, but it reverts back to demo mode
