Mini-BoGo Light - Solar Powered Flashlight Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this light about three months ago, set it in the sun light for about 8 hours, and have not had to charge it since. My wife and I use it around the house all the time, I have taken it backpacking and it works great. It is very durable, water resistant had it in the rain backpacking no problems, easy to use and again last a long time with out having to charge.

Dear Amazon Customer, I lived in Africa and other parts of the developing world for more than 20 years, first as a Marine and than as an American diplomat - I made these lights to work in the very toughest environments to serve as portable light-bulbs. I came into this field not as a flashlight manufacturer, but as someone who has seen the impact of darkness in the developing world. This light exceeds military specifications and are being carried by US Marines, Navy Seals and Rangers in Afghanistan. We had the assistance of NASA and DOE in developing our products. The light is completely waterproof and lights up a small room, tent or hut - it is an area light, not a narrow beam light. President Clinton has provided more than 30,000 of these to Haiti. This is the very best light on the market at this price - and I can demonstrate this due to our selection of the very best components. SunNight Solar has patents in both China and the US. Thanks for looking at my light. We also sell the SN-2 solar powered BoGo light on Amazon as well. Best regards, Mark Bent. President and CEO, SunNight Solar

Voltaic 1021 Fuse Solar Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got three of these which I plan to use in my upcoming Peace Corps service in Kenya. I haven't yet used the solar panels to charge with because I have been testing the batteries using USB and AC power. I will update my review once I've used the panels, too. I just wanted to at least give some information on this product for anyone who is curious.
Initial impressions:
* very well made/designed
* solar panels are very sensitive (if the red indicator light is anything to go by)
* lightweight
* the product images and description lists these as coming with nine connectors, but all three of mine only included four.
* the batteries themselves are very light

I looked at the Solio chargers, too, but opted for this system because:
* It's more versatile:
- Voltaic batteries can be charged using the solar panels OR using a USB connection on a computer
- can strap to a bag, a bike, a roof, anywhere you can clip the straps
* It's more outdoorsy:
- waterproof solar panels (Solio's panels aren't...)
* Easy to use:
- USB connection right on the battery (Solio requires an adapter for this even though most devices now can use USB)
I've used full-charged batteries to power:
* BlackBerry (takes half a battery to fully power)
* iPod touch (most recent generation; takes half a battery to fully power)
* Kindle 3 6" (haven't yet tested how long it takes to charge...)
The negatives:
* the panels are waterproof, but can be scratched...take care
* the batteries have a power on switch that gets clicked constantly if you have them floating about loose in a backpack
