Pros: Ok. Due to some blackouts.. I've started ordering some kinds of lamps.
The solar charging was the best fit.
Ok, pros:
1. I't solar charging device. I leave it on my south window and it's fully charged in a day (sunny day!)
2. It contains 3 AA NiCd accums. You san use it to charge 4 AA accums! (NiMh whatever, too)
3. I left it ON for a night. It worked 12+ hours! When I turned it off, there was a light in the LEDs, still!
so i tested it well
4. Four LEDS + deflector head.
oh.. it has cons.. 8(
5. You can use it in 2 modes.
a/ the LIGHT head is in the box. So you can turn it on and put on some surface to light something.
b/ you can pull the lever and then... AAAAH!!! the lighing head would pop out with a loud BAM sound!
Now you can bend its neck and direct the light where you want...

Cons: 1. When it isn't fully charged.. the light is WEAK!
I can't barely read the book.
The tiny single LED keychans produce more BRIGHT LIGHT than this one 8(
Even 3-LED SOLAR keychain works better//
2. the solar battery isn't straight mounted..
it's somehow... spinned. But it doesn't affec the work 8)

Other Thoughts: I'd buy it again.
I love the conceptopn of solar green devices.
+ i fully discharged and re-charged it to prove its work.

Bottomline: Well... it's good as a nigh light..
or good for a blackout...
it isn't good as any common DX lighters
Buy it if you want to.

Pros: Serendipitously, this lamp arrived last Friday and yesterday, Monday, a powerful storm off the Pacific put our lights out. For 24 hours. This lamp is a delight for reading in bed, without power, and without battery guilt.

Cons: The plastic "neck" which expands seems easily snappable, so I think care in handling is needed. There are shadows among the lights as they reach the page.

Other Thoughts: Useful for standing on a solid surface as well as for laying on one's pillow, shoulder or chest.

Bottomline: So glad I ordered this, and perfect timing in delivery!
