Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this from the "deal of the day" a few weeks back and have done some preliminary testing. The biggest gripe I have is about charging with the micro-usb outlet. Very quickly after a few charges you have to fiddle with the plug to get the charge going. It does charge in about 4 hours from a dead start. On the low setting the light was still on after 15 hours, but significantly less brighter. I haven't checked to see how long on the high setting yet. I used these in a 27x15 foot room on the low light setting and it illuminated the room very well!! As to whether they hold a charge while sitting in a drawer. Too early to tell. I've only gone 6 days from a full charge and when I recharged it it only took 10 minutes to green light. I need to do this after about a month and then I'll update the results. I also need to do further testing with the solar panel, but it does charge the phone via sunlight. VERY IMPORTANT about this next issue. When lantern is fully charged it will not fully charge your phone with its own battery supply. I tried it with both of these 3 times each. I have an iPhone 5s and each lantern only charged my phone less than 30% with its own internal battery supply. As far as I know you can only charge your phone with the solar panel. I still need to do some more testing to see if there is another method of charging the phone. So that's it for now. I will update at a later time with some more results. All in all a pretty good product. I'm keeping them. Once I'm done with all the final testing I'm considering buying a couple more if the price come down. I think they are a little overpriced. Hope this helps someone
