    Great product, paired easily to my iPhone. App is awesome for controlling the base Lantern and the siteLights. A nice feature with the app is you can establish lighting effects, I.e. you can have a button titled ‘chill’ when you press it you can have the Lantern dim way down, glow warm light and have the siteLights turn on half dimmed. Another button could be titled ‘kitchen prep’ which would turn the Lantern and siteLights to their brightest setting. The app indicates the battery life in hours and minutes.

    The Lantern is very bright and you can choose to have only one (either side) on or both. This allows for less intense lighting when that’s all you need.

    I highly recommend this product and the SiteLights. I now have 6 SiteLights.

    I used this maybe five times and now it doesn’t work at all. Won’t charge, won’t reset. Customer service offered advice that didn’t change the outcome. Considering that two of the string lights I bought with this broke within a month, I wouldn’t buy any more of their products.

    This is a really cool lantern. It's connected via Bluetooth with a free app you can download. You can have it switch between both sides or one side of light. You can change the color of the lantern to wherever you want in order to set a certain mood. It's got a portable battery charger for your phone or tablet or whatever else you can charge through a USB cord. You can plug other lights into in order to create a small system of lights for your campground (we use it on our pontoon with small rope lights). It's water resistant that I know of and the thing just feels solid in your hand. I know that sounds weird but you also know what I mean when I say that.

    I really enjoyed this lantern. I also have the site lights and have used that setup for camping with my Girl Scout troop a couple of times (also charged my cellphone but don’t tell the kids I had my phone 😉) when I was pulling my gear out for a spring camp out it would no longer charge or turn on. I tried a few different cables and power bricks so it was the actual lantern that wasn’t working anymore. I decided on a whim to message the company to see if they had a warranty on their products and they messaged back (in only like an hour) saying yes they do and what is my address to send me a new one. Just like that. I had my new lantern in hand, ready to go camping in just a matter of days. Customer service like that just doesn’t exist anymore.

    Not only do I recommend this as a solid piece of gear for camping/weather preparedness you can buy with confidence knowing that the company stands by their products and will take care of you.

    Also worth saying that the party modes are a hit with elementary aged scouts 😂

    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    I 100% love this BaseLantern XL, it's compact and has RGB light spectrum and a good lumen output to light a small room, and I like the features like the proximity lighting, the ability to set light alarm, also setting the mood and different light colors, or connecting different lanterns and controlling all of them and of course the idea of incorporating a 12000mAh power bank to charge your electronics is brilliant, but I found that they are all very good features on paper but in real life, the XL version that comes with the 12000mAH battery is very low, for lighting a lantern and charging multiple devices in a camping trip, for $129.95 they could've at leased included 22,000mAH, which they are sold for $10 on amazon, so imagine manufacturing it will cost way less and the proximity features still needs more work, it doesn't work most of the time, I have iPhone x and it worked maybe 2 times out of 10, so you can't really rely on it, if you got lost, also the app is very basic and not that intuitive...

    But overall, I'm liking the idea and the build quality, so if you're planing to go on camping trips, just pack a big power bank and connect it to the lantern to keep charging it.

    Great product. Also good for home emergencies. Very bright. The phone app shows how many hours of light are available based on light intensity and battery strength.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A little heavy but amazing product
    Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2022
    Works great, and the Bluetooth app is useful but not perfect. Long long battery life, great for camping and charged phones and devices well. As a lantern this is a delight to have in the tent or for a meal.

    Add the USB flexible BioLite attachment for an excellent long lasting cooking or task light.

    The newer replacement is lighter but much less satisfying light quality and batter size. They do not make them like they used to.

  • 1.0 out of 5 stars 最悪な買い物
    Reviewed in Japan on August 9, 2023
    あまり悪いレビューは書きたくないのですが、事実を伝えます。数年前に購入しましたが、いざ使用すると全く反応しませんでした。マニュアルもサイトに上がっておらず、サポート(英語のメールのみしかない)に連絡し、指示された方法を試しましたが、全く反応すらしません。保証期間が1年であることを考慮しても不良品をつかまされ、無駄なゴミが増えただけという結果です。購入金額(15,000円)やサポートを考慮しても過去20年のアマゾンでの購入品のうち、最悪の買い物となりました。絶対におススメしません。この企業の製品には気を付けてください。

    Nach einer gewissen Zeit lässt sich das Produkt nicht mehr aufladen und kann somit mehr verwendet werden.

    Auf mehrmalige Anfrage beim Kundensupport habe ich nie eine Antwort erhalten (seit 3 Monaten 8 Anfragen).

    Dank Amazon konnte ich das Produkt zumindest zurückgeben.

    All you need for camping and more. Link it with the Sitelite and you have a great lighting system for camping. Check out the Solar Charger if you really want to go off-grid for recharging it.
