 I Bought 12 of These - Well Worth the Money. Aug 29, 2011
By Frank_Zapper
Yep, it's True.
I first bought 2 of these and the wife & I liked em so much I bought 10 more (plus 8 of the medium d.light lantern model).
And here's why:
I bought the adapter to give each light an initial 12 hour electrical hard charge because I wanted a good HARD charge plus I guess I don't trust the sun... Then, I ran the light 4 hours (as advertised) and it burnt strong from start to finish. I woulda ran it longer but I was sleepy. Then I stuck the thing in my window and let it sit till the next evening. And it charged well and burns bright when I need it.
Now - when I say "bright", I don't mean bright enough to do brain surgery by - BUT you could easily see well enough to deliver a baby or read about learning to DO brain surgery without any eye strain. So for me and my needs - this is plenty bright and it STAYS bright for hours.
I live in the backwoods and our grid is just plain lousy.
We went without power for 10 days a couple years back and I didn't have me enough light. But now, ladies and gentlemen - when the lights go out I will be the envy of all my unlit neighbors.
AND if the world comes to an end - I will have plenty of light to skin a squirrel and reload guns by. Because after all - when the gas runs out - your generator will stop running. But there's a very good chance the sun will come out tomorrow.
The light is very well made - high impact plastic - feels like it will last a long time.
The switch is solid and the little metal handle is nifty.
You can sit it or hang it in all kindsa different ways.
I hung it from a shelf and was able to work inside a closet.
Heck, you can even hang it from your shirt collar while you're changing banjo strings.
It's incredible!
The little red light turns on when the light is charging.
I don't know if you can over-charge it. But I did read reviews where folks complained about over-charging the larger lamps.
The solar panels are nifty and if you watch the ad -
you can drive over them with your car. Wheee!
I bought these smaller lamps for reading and picking splinters and what not - and bought the larger lantern variety for lighting rooms entirely so we can play Monopoly or checkers or Twister.
I'm thinking I will buy spare batteries just in case these batteries eventually stop charging during the zombie apocalypse.
The S1 WILL light a room way better than a candle but you will be hard pressed to warm your hands with it.
Get several of these - they are well worth the money - which is not often heard nowadays.
I'm not going to buy the most expensive model because you can buy 5 of these to 1 of those...
ALSO - check out their website.
This company is helping the 3dr world in a most impressive way.
I may be a nut but when the grid goes down for good I will be a well-lit nut.
CHOW!

Great little reading light or portable hand shadow light. Jun 25, 2011
By Robbin
"graying child of God"
The picture doesn't do this unit justice. It's quite sturdy and seems very well built. The light makes a nice bright circle of light about 10 inches in diameter when pointed straight down. The lamp swivels 360 degrees so you can aim it at a wall to make great hand shadows. Or point straight up at the ceiling for a dim area light.
Like the d.light S10 Solar LED Lantern, this is designed for developing rural areas without electricity. The difference being this is mainly intended as a reading light for students. Your purchase helps the d.light organization distribute their products where they can really make a difference. Their mission statement:
"Enable households without reliable electricity to attain the same quality of life as those with electricity. We will begin by replacing every kerosene lantern with clean, safe and bright light."
The unit disassembles with a phillips screw driver and the rechargable Ni-Mh battery can be easily replaced (if needed) with a standard 3.6v cordless phone battery "2/3AAA" (same battery as the S10). Also like the S10, it can be charged by the sun or an AC charger, just search for "Nokia AC-3U" on Amazon and get one for a few bucks. Check out the company site by googling dlight design (note the exact spelling).

Exceeds expectations Jul 03, 2011
By R. L. Reeves
I have all kinds of solar gadgets. I was happily surprised how bright this thing is! It's perfect for the bedside when doing algebra late at night. My primary reason for ordering (besides loving all things solar) is my regular lamps put too much heat in my small cramped room. This item is perfect! Easy to angle just where you want it too. I also noticed, when I first opened it and was looking at the packaging, that the red charging light came on while the panel was exposed under my bright desk lamp. This is a bonus because I can keep it at the desk while working and get a charge on rainy days. I plan to order more, for myself and friends!

Great Little Light Aug 26, 2011
By Jazzy
I really like my D.light products I bought on Amazon, the S10 is great and one of my favorites, so I had to try one of these little lights. These are terrific! After setting on a sunny windowsill for the day it was ready to try out---I took it into our bathroom which is pitch black when you shut the door. This little light worked great, enough to even shower. The wire stand is sturdy, I stuck it on a shelf and it hung there fine, & I tilted the light to different positions to see what worked the best. In a lights out event, a few of these little fellows will come in pretty handy. Its Not a big spot light but its not made to be that---but it would work great in a small room, to help see going down steps, etc. For under $10 I think its a good buy and I will get a few more. My son took it on a camping trip and reported that it worked super in the tent, giving enough light to see just fine.
I appreciate the info to get the recharging cord and replacement battery--thanks for the tip, I bought some extra to have.

Great light Sep 09, 2011
By Bruce Kissinger
I purchased this light for use around the house and for camping. It has a very bright light and is excellent for reading at night and many other uses where a strong portable light is needed. I was skeptical that it would last for 4 hours, but it easily works that long on a single charge. I highly recommend this light.
