Great concept a solar version of the Guyot Designs FireFlye Lantern but two huge drawbacks. One it is heavy, heaver than a a water bottle light with battery's. Two you have to use there bottle. you cant migrate the cap to other bottles you already have. I bough this product to ad to my backpacking gear and it is poorly suited for the job. If you are car camping it think it is a neat toy.

My 4 year old son is addicted to playing with glow sticks and this is just like a HUGE glow stick! If the bottle is filled with water or not, it still gives off a decent glow (a little brighter with the water but when my son wants to take it to bed I'm not going to chance him opening it and soaking his sheets!).

If you're looking for a solar powered flashlight, this isn't the product for you. If you are looking for a solar powered "glow stick", then you won't be disappointed.

We spend 4-6 weeks camping on the beach in baja every winter and have several LightCap 300's that we take with us. They are perfect for mixing margaritas and carrying them to the beach. Having the light for the walk back to our camp is always helpful. We charge the caps everyday and they provide enough light for the night.

This seems an early design since there are multiple imperfections: there are too many unconnected parts, specifically the rubber gasket pops off easily and is hard to keep track of, the width of the bottle makes it nearly impossible for small hands like mine to manage, it needs some kind of handle, more than the thin cord I can't quite figure out how to attach securely.

Bought Two, they work great, but one got moisture inside the cap and turns off and on on it's own now

this is the greatest thing ever made. you dont need fuel or batteries and you carry a nalgeine or other water bottle so it only makes sence. it obviously isnt as bright as a fuel or battery lantern but it works fine and gave of enuff light to play cards and navigate around camp comfortably and it stayed lit all through the night atleast six hours then i shut it off. once again if you are hikinng long distance or just hate buying batteries or fuel this is the way to go
