Great light until its not
I really loved this light until it decided to turn on and not turn off or respond in anyway to the switch.

Same issue: won't turnoff.
Frustrating. "Goal Zero" ain't working. Sad. Worked the first two years...It's now out of warranty. Sad.

Lighthouse Core Defective!!
Mine is wacky. It won't turn off on one side and stays lighted so the battery gets drained. On/off switch does not work.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep these lanterns throughout my house in case of power outages (which we experience fairly often) they’ve come in such great handy, I don’t know what I would do without them now. The rechargeable battery on this one is a huge plus. One charge lasts us months. It’s very bright but has different brightness settings if needed.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The day this came in, the power went off for a few minutes in the late evening. It put off enough light to get me through. There are different runtimes for different settings. On the lowest setting it can stayed charged for 350 plus hours. It has a usb charger for long power outages so you can charge phones or whatever else. It’s also nice if you are lazy and don’t want to get up and just use it to charge your phone.

Excellent Small Lantern for Adventure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the mission at Goal Zero to empower people with a safe, connected and sustainable future. This USB rechargeable lantern is practical and useable for everyone. It can be used on any kind of trip or adventure to recharge a phone or other small USB device. It has up to 350 hours of runtime on the ultra low light setting. It charges in 5 hours to be used again. It can also simultaneously recharge and discharge. You choose how bright it gets and that determines how long the run time lasts. It is made of plastic and metal with no glass. The battery does need to be charged every 3 to 6 months to be ready to use. Then you just click it on and go.

Lighthouse Core Lantern
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome lantern, USB charged, Full lantern or half lantern light for a lesser bright light. Both sides have dimmer which is really nice. We use it for camping and a light for when power goes out at home. Also comes with a wrap around fixed usb cord so you don't loose it. Great lantern, very bright yet dimmable.

Super Useful & Fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lantern light instantly became my favorite. I love the cozy and real lantern like flicker it has. The light is bright enough and hey you get to charge your device too. The multifunction feature makes me reach for it more often than I would to any other bedside or corner light in the house. The size is perfect

Nice Lantern
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Goal Zero lantern earlier this week and I really like how compact and light this lantern is. This allows you to adjust the lighting. I haven’t had a chance to test the battery life thus far but I like that I have this for both outdoor use or emergencies. I would recommend this lantern.

My Goal Zero Core doesn’t turn off. What am I doing wrong? Lights were supposed to be out attire campground where we stayed recently, and we had to hide our light inside luggage.

I have always recharged through my laptop USB port. Can I use and adapter (like the one that comes with apple phone) to plug it into a wall outlet?

How to know when it's fully charged?

How do I turn it off? Also, only one half works most of the time and it turns itself on randomly.

How due I turn it off
August 25, 2019
I bought a Lighthousecore yesterday. No end of demomode. Doesn't switch off. Light only on one side. As many others complain. Zero emission. 100% scrap. By producing such a faulty product all ambitions of zero emissions are a joke. And no public response.

Does this support pass-through charging?

Are there magnets on the bottom like the Lighthouse Mini Lantern?

When charging the Lighthouse Core lantern using the Nomad 7 plus solar panel, can long term damage be done to the internal battery inside the lantern (i.e. loss of battery memory or capacity) if it's left plugged in for hours after full charge is reached?
