I don't know how many camping lights I've used over the years...a lot. I have a whole box of camping lights in my garage and this one by far is my favorite. It's light, small, has great versatility and brightness. Everything I need in a lamp. It's made out of sturdy, durable materials, has a heft to it, and can be used in a million different ways. Also, it has a cool design.

Are the solar panels durable as they are exposed to the wind?
The image is clear and well taken.
The camera body is not exposed to the elements in the carport.

This is better made than the other two solar panel brands I own - Big Blue and Solorage.
When charging in high temperatures, cover your device (phone, tablet, power bank, drone battery, whatever) in insulating material like a heavy-duty mailing envelope (cardboard works better than cloth). I've had my devices stop charging at midday with three different solar panel brands - and guess where I live? Florida. At first I suspected the solar panels going bad, and since they're inexpensive enough, I'd buy a different brand. Eventually, though, a notice popped up on my phone - "Charging will continue when the device cools down."
Insulate your device when charging in high temperatures.
Another problem is what I call "backcharge." It's the gradual draining of your device's battery while connected to the solar charger when there's no sunlight. So keep an eye on whether the panels are still in the sunlight or not - which isn't as easy as you might think due to distractions by other things.

This solar panel is great. Folded up it’s about the surface size of an iPad and 1-1.75 inches thick depending on whether you measure the little junction box sticking out or just the depth of the panels. It’s under 3 lbs which keeps it plenty portable but you will still notice it in your backpack. 3lbs is definitely light enough and even though you can find slightly smaller, lighter panels here’s why you probably shouldn’t:

It isn’t always sunny. Even if you only aim to get 20 watts to fast charge a mid-tier power bank it’s great to have the surface area to catch up to 40w in ideal conditions because as the term implies, you often won’t be in that setting. There are going to be some rainy days were it’s inconvenient to get anything at all which is just a fact of life with small solar panels. But with ~4ft and 40w of solar capability, this can easily keep you going on cloudy days too. As long as it isn’t a total wash out and you can see a bit of blue sky somewhere this 40w panel will still catch 8-10 watts through some pretty serious clouds. A nice day with a clear view of bright sun will get you 33-38w and you can plug along at full speed, but those days when thick clouds won’t stay out of your way you can still catch a decent charge just getting 20-30% of the max input. Plus once the sun comes out and you get some direct access to sunlight you’re off to the races.

I have quite a few portable solar panels and so far this is one of the nicer ones that I have. It's rigid, fairly light, charges my batteries and devices in a decent amount of time. To me, it truly fits the "portable" category.

I have a solar generator with excellent lion energy solar panels. I wanted a 100W solar panel that was smaller lighter and bit more portable. This solar panel comes with Anderson connectors, a connecting cable and a large variety of adaptors that allow you to connect to any solar generator. There is a convenient zippered pouch for all connectors and cables that also has two USB ports for direct connection to anything that uses a USB port. Very well made and a high quality product. I'm probably going to buy another one.

Very pleased

Very pleased with this product works very well .
