Tools and Hardware Reviews of Life Gear LL01Y LifeLight
Customer Review: Not made with quality materials
Summary: 3 Stars
I think that this product has many features that everyone would like, but it lack structural integrity. When I received mine and got it out of the box 3 peices on it broke and now the top won't stay on. It does not look like you can replace the LED lights once they go out, but LED last a long time and for $30 it can be replaced in 3-4 years. Not the brightest light out there but will provide the light you need. I was led to beleive that you received the car charger, and the cell phone hook-ups with the light...wrong!! If they made one with metal, or harder plastic and included the connectors I would buy 2 more. Unfortunately I missed the return by date on this so I will have to go out and buy some epoxy to keep this thing together.Customer Review: Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this products design and function. It seems to work very well and the LED lights are very bright for a crank lantern. The radio cover is also a nice feature that allows the controls to stay clean when outdoors. There is also a compass mounted on the top of the lantern which is nice feature just in case. Very well made and sturdy.Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
So far I really like this little lantern. It's hard to do fine tuning on the radio, but you can use your mp3 player, so who cares. It doesn't come with a cell adapter, you have to purchase it (pay s&h), but since you can charge your cell that's pretty not too bad. The face looks waterproof, but it's just a protective cover over the radio and nightlight. Speaking of the nightlight, it's one of my favorite things about this lantern. It only uses 1 LED to illuminate so you can save the battery and it lights pretty well. The siren seems pretty stupid though. It doesn't feel well made, the little handle on top comes right off, so replace it or don't rely on it for any sort of survival. All and all pretty good, and great for the money, but I would have paid ten dollars more if it had been waterproof and had a rope handle or something permanently attached.Customer Review: Survived Hurricane Ike - 8 Days with No Power, BUT I HAD THIS LIGHT!
Summary: 4 Stars
UPDATED REVIEW:
Bought this in January and it must have been prophetic. By September, in rolled Hurricane Ike and knocked my tree limbs down and my power out for 8 days!
This was our choice light for bathing/brushing teeth at nighttime. In dark bathrooms, this crank light came in incredibly handy! Instead of only having limited viewable space, like that of a flashlight, this light flooded the entire bathroom with light making things like flossing teeth possible. We just carried this thing around by the neck and it worked out just fine!
We also got major usage out of the "nightlight" feature, which stayed illuminated throughout the entire nights, but it did dim down over the many hours and would need another little crank before daybreak to keep it going. It is an ENORMOUS comfort to have a small light going all night, if nothing else, to keep you from tripping while going to the bathroom. Also, it is comforting knowing that the little light won't burn down the house, like a candle could.
We never used any of the other features on this light because we already had other devices that had those same features, but I can tell you, I believe this baby is worth the price, just for the lantern and nightlight.
The best recommendation can only come from experience and from my experience, this was a real lifesaver and got just as much use by me and hubby as any flashlight did.
Customer Review: The best in an emerncey!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered two of these when Amazon had them on special and it had good reviews. I had to use these the very next day. A severe storm hit first knocking out the power. The light on this thing is amazing. It has two different settings to choose from. After awhile of the power not coming back, it's great that the lamp gives you the option of using a battery which I put in and then for the rest of the night till 1 in the am we where under a tornado watch, and I was able to keep the weather channel on to keep informed of all the changes. I am hoping to buy more and hand them out to friends and family. Also the radio has really good reception. I live in an area with so many trees I rarely can get a cell line. I can see using these for camping they are small, light and some what narrow and would hang easily on a branch without breaking it.
