Description:

I lived in Africa for over twenty years, serving as a Marine and then an American diplomat prior to starting SunNight Solar and the original idea, which continues today, is to light the night for the people of the developing world. I designed this patented product, with the help of NASA, Department of Energy and Rockefeller grants, to be a rugged, long life, solar rechargeable flashlight. It's design brief was to provide wide angle illumination with more usable light than a kerosene "bottle lantern", for use in rooms up to 4 x 4 meters or as a study or work lamp over a table, while also providing a bright directional "task light" beam for when more directed light is required. The features which make the BoGo Light flash light suited to its primary role also make it a great light for use for camping, automobile use and as a light you can use in an emergency. Leave it where the sun shines on it and you will get hours of operation when needed. With a fully charged original battery the SN-2 will typically operate for 4 to 5 hours on full power, about twice that on its medium power settings and 4 times as long on low power. The SN-2 uses a high efficiency polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel (or 'solar panel') to charge its batteries. The charging capability is limited by the size of the panel would fit on the light. Depending on battery state it takes 8 to 10 "sunlight hours" (hours of direct full sunlight) to charge the supplied three 800 mAh batteries. The medium and low power modes allow users to reduce lighting levels to allow longer lighting times when charging conditions are poor. On full power users get about 30+ minutes of lighting per sunshine hour. On medium power they get about 1 hour of operation per sunshine hour. And on low power, about 2 hours operation per sunshine hour. So with 2 to 3 sunshine hours in a day a user can expect 4 to 6 hours of low level but usable light. Best regards - Mark Bent. CEO SunNight Solar

5Four year and still shining!  Sep 05, 2010
I purchased this from the manufacturers site 4 years ago. I have used it in many kinds of conditions, even weather exposed, and it has never failed. I have never had to change the batteries, and it remains as bright as ever. As a test, after 4 years of use I charged it, and then left it on (low, similar to night-light) over night. It shone for 10 hours and 16 minutes before going out. Not bad for original batteries and a 6 hour solar charge! It recharged perfectly and is still performing like the first day I bought it. I love it!

5BoGoLight Lasts  Aug 11, 2010
I packed a BoGoLight into my suitcase for emergency. I never had to use it, but three weeks later when I took it out of the dark it still worked. Its a great product, I love it.

5This is the one that works - recommended  Jan 03, 2010
You will find that most flashlights-with-solar-cells dont work very well.

The development of this flashlight was funded with a very large grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to develop a very usuable light by volunteers in Africa.

You can also use this as a solar AA battery charger; for an even better upgrade, replace the stock AA batteries with low self-discharge NiMH cells for an always-ready light. This is easy to do.

Pay the extra money for this light which really works rather than a lower price for one that really doesnt.

5SNS Sunlight 2 Solar Task Light  Apr 27, 2009
This solar powered flashlight is awesome to use. I actually bought it from the item's site, where you buy one & for another $20.00 they will donate one to someplace in the world that needs it, or you can choose the organization to donate it to. It actually doesn't work in direct light but works in dim light or in the dark after letting it charge in natural light. You can't overcharge it, & it will work all night if needed. (I haven't actually tried that yet). The promo says that they are trying to eliminate deaths caused by kerosene lamp fires in developing countries. I highly recommend this flashlight for any home emergency kit or general use.
