" ... Lasts an extremely long time on small Anker. ... "
" ... - the battery that comes with it also has the added bonus of LED bulbs across the side, so you have an instant flashlight there as well. ... "
" ... I chose the 5 foot version for longer battery life but I would now get the longer light for more coverage, as we only used it sparingly and battery power wasn’t an issue but the space we had it in could have benefited from the longer light. ... "
" ... Finding a keeping a charge is tough. ... "
" ... i strung the 10ft version across the middle of an EZ Up with a battery pack and it lights up the entire inside no problem. ... "
" ... You can use the rechargeable battery as a flashlight with 4 LEDs on it. ... "

" ... What set this apart from the cheaper Chinese knockoffs for me (other than the length) is simply the nice light output and build quality. ... "
" ... - Magnetic attachment (for mounting to metal/car) ... - Solid material that appears to be well-made and weatherproof ... I like these lights and would buy more if the price dropped by another $5 or $10. ... "
" ... - it also has some plastic anchors with magnets built in, so you can attach the light strip easily to any metal surface. ... "

" ... Bought the rope and the USB battery for my roof top tent interior. ... sufficient light, well distributed not harsh on the eyes, batteries last, easy USB charging. ... "
" ... I powered it using a 10Ah battery pack on a carabiner, which allowed me to detach it and leave the lights hanging. ... "
" ... This is a versatile rope of lights that is on when plugged into a USB socket: I use a battery pack. ... "
" ... This light strip was absolutely perfect for the lighting, the USB connection into the battery pack was a tiny bit too loose, I had it hanging so the weight of the battery pack was pulling against the USB port and a few times I had to push it back together, but otherwise perfection!! ... "
" ... The light is bright, and plugs in to any usb charger. ... "
" ... I connect mine to a portable solar battery pack. ... "
" ... We've mainly used it camping - just plug it into your portable USB charger and it lights up your tent nicely. ... "

" ... This is a great multifunctional light that can be used anywhere ... "
" ... Is functionally very bright and works very well as a lantern in the bag. ... "
" ... I loved the compact size and usefulness of these lights - they put off a ton of light that is bright and perhaps this cause the short battery life. ... "
" ... It's kind of overkill for backpacking. ... "
" ... I always have a portable battery to use with it. ... "
" ... Lasts an extremely long time on small Anker. ... "

" ... the reusable zip ties are awesome, and if you have anything metal to hang it from the magnetic sliders are great too. ... "
" ... The ties and magnets seem legit but I just used some eye bolts and let it dangle and it’s good enough for me. ... "
