Comments about Solo Flashlight:

I bought a few rechargeable flashlights before not to worry about batteries. They didn't last long enough even for 5-10 minute walk from DFAC at night. But this flashlight last for a long time and it is quite bright. Even if I forget to change it for a couple of days, it still works. I misplaced the first one I bought, so I bought another one from the manufacturer's website.

Comments about Solo Flashlight:

I bought the flashlight on Februaruy 8th 2012 to use for the upcoming camping season. My daughter used it for approximately two weeks to go from her bedroom to the bathroom and then it quit working. Thought it might need to be recharged so I set it in the sun but it still didn't work. I didn't bother returning the flashlight so I don't know if I just got a bad unit or not.

Comments about Solo Flashlight:

i love the flashlight. i was looking for just this kind. i already have one from a competitor which i love, have had it for 7 yrs and was wanting another one. this one is always working and never have to find batteries. I had a small solar flashlight on my key ring also from goalzero. after a month it will not charge. i don't know what is wrong with it. this flashlight tho, i have had about 6 months and so far no problems. i leave it in the car, it is fully charged every time i need it. the beam is bright and shines about 6 ft in front of me. Which is enough for me to not trip over things.

Comments about Solo Flashlight:

The flashlight is very impressive and well-constructed. The housing and button show an attention to detail that stopped short of actually turning it on. After following the directions to give it a full charge, I locked myself in a dark room and found myself unable to even see my feet. Rated at 15 lumens, this flashlight is inadequate for almost all uses.

  The Solo series requires 8-10 hours in the sunlight depending on weather conditions. The flashlight is backed by a one year warranty if it is defective.

Q:
Hello,
This flashlight is awesome, i'm always looking for environmentally friendly products like this one; however I was wondering if only two of the five LED are supposed to work ? I thought that's probably normal, but what's the sense of putting the extra three and no light radiating from them, right? so just wondering if the product is defective or if that's the way it's supposed to be or if i'm not using it right.. haha
Thanks!
