Great Product – Red / Yellow Light Modifications The Luna Light is great low cost lighting system for any camper who wants a low current drain and effective camp light. It works extremely well with the Goal0 Guide 10 battery packs with the USB port. There is more than sufficient light for a tent or small camp space at a 20 hour operation time on the Guide 10.There may be too much light output for people who want to save battery power. An attenuating adapter (homemade, insert a resistor inline) may just do the trick to reduce light output and save even more battery energy. Here is an idea to save your night vision adaptation, use a clear red soda straw (or similar, cellophane, etc.) over the light tube. Instant night vision retention for virtually no cost. You could also use a clear yellow soda straw to help keep the bugs away at night. Bugs love this white light at night and can actually block a lot of the light from the tube as they fight for position on the light tube. Use it in the tent only AFTER you have zipped the door shut or you may have a lot of unwelcome company :-)ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AFTER THREE MONTHS USE:I bought a second Luna Light shortly after testing the first one. I have put at least 50 hours of use on the first and maybe 20 hours on the second and all LEDs are still working just fine, no loss of light output. The Luna Light is very lightweight and weighs around 42 grams / 1.4 ounces and it takes virtually no room in a backpack.The Luna Light when used in a backpacking / camping scenario lasted a 3 day / 2 night trip on the original Eneloop rechargeable batteries in a Goal0 Guide 10 powerpack (168 grams / 5.9 ounces w/ batt, 2000 mAh), awesome.For the next trip purchased a lightweight (39 grams) IOGEAR 3+1 ports unpowered USB hub and a bunch of USB extension cables here on Amazon. The goal was to make a small USB power distribution network from the Guide 10 for the 2 Luna Lights and a Kaito 500 AM/FM/SW radio with USB. The two Luna Lights were sufficient to light the outside and inside of the tent for the night. I have taken them camping at least 5 times since purchase.After 3 months of good use, I am still delighted with the product’s versatility and performance. I have not noticed any deterioration in the mechanical parts of the light, although, these lights are treated very gently (flexing kept to a minimum). The Luna Lights worked well during a power outage, nice to have the extra light in an emergency, or maybe a better description: “an unexpected camping experience in the house.”
Great USB light I’ve used USB worm lights in the past and was never happy with the performance. It was a single LED that could only produce a barely usable light that only shined on a small area. Meet the Luna Light. It’s a 10 LED USB light that actually throws a decent amount of light for a small area. I say small area because it’s not a high performance flashlight like a Fenix or Surefire that produces a large amount of retina burning light. It’s designed to used with the power pack or a laptop’s USB port. When plugged into the Guide 10, it provides enough light for the inside of your tent, the arm of a recliner to shine on a book or any place else where you need light for the immediate area. When plugged in a laptop’s USB port, it floods the keyboard with plenty of usable light, in fact, I’m using mine now to write this review. I have not experienced any poor connections as a previous reviewer has described. I’ve used computers and USB devices in the past where they were out of spec that the connections were to loose or to tight. Then again, the reviewer may have a lemon. Hey, no one is perfect. In conclusion, I’m very satisfied with the light and it works perfectly for it’s intended use.
note: No on-off switch – must unplug Very bright (almost too bright), but it has to be unplugged to turn off. Should have read the ad more closely – there are others that have a switch, which keeps you from having to “keep up” with it when you aren’t using it.
