Lighthouse 600
The Goal Zero Lighthouse 600 separates itself from electronic lanterns with multiple charging configurations. One of the coolest features is the ability to use a self-powered crank to charge the lantern when the battery runs out. Just one minute of cranking gives you ten minutes of lighting, which is just enough for performing essential duties after the neighborhood's electricity goes out during a thunderstorm. For off-grid campers and survivalists, the Lighthouse 400 plugs into Goal Zero's solar panels for a truly sustainable energy source.

Flourless
I have 7 and they are the best lanterns on the market They last very long on a charge, the brightness is adjustable, they charge from a USB that is connected (so you can't lose it) and if you can't charge it due to no electricity nearby It has a hand crank on top

Excellent, long lasting lantern
I bought this before a 4 day stay in a yurt without an electrical hookup. The light was bright and very adjustable. I love that I can illuminate only one side of the lantern. Not only did that make walking with it more comfortable (I didn’t blind myself but still could see ahead of me) but it also extends battery life, which I found to be excellent as well. On that trip I only used it for light, not charging anything, but at the end of the 4 days I still had maybe 25% power left. There’s a good chance I’ll never need the crank, but I love that in an emergency I could generate light, or even with effort get some charge into a dead phone. The lantern legs get it up off the table into a good position for playing games or seeing what you’re eating for dinner. I don’t think I’ll ever use the red alert light feature, but again, it could prove useful in an emergency. Really pleased with it.

Bright light
Bright light. I received one as a gift about 2 years ago and use it almost daily for walking the dog in the dark along the road. Post one such use, only one side of the light came on. It is still bright enough to see and be seen.

Excellent & Lightweight with long battery life!
This lantern is excellent, small, lightweight, with outstanding battery life and easy to use. I purchased it for a 96-year old relative to use during power outages instead of candles and she took to it right away. Weeks later she couldn’t remember I gave it to her but she did tell me Al about it and how she loved it! 😀

I like the crank handle, E- flasher,USB port.
I bought this lantern years ago, And The last two years Since my brother Disconnected my Power line i've been using it full time at night. The only problem I have always had when charging, Is that the chord where it connects to The lantern has a short in it.And I have to rig up the cord position , so it will charge. And I have had to use the crank many times because of no sun. I really like it! I need To buy a couple more when I get The money saved up.

Good Latern
I’m using this mainly for home during outages and outback in the late evening when out by the fire. Works well, sturdy and gives off a lot of light if you need it. Looked at other brand options but this checked the boxes…Hoping to get years of usage

Super efficient.
I won one of these at a silent auction years ago and it is the best lantern ever. I can charge it at home and it last the entire 4 day weekend plus it keeps my phone charged. I can hook it to the top of the tent and use 1/2 of the light when I want to walk.

What do I do when the lantern won't turn off?
April 4, 2021
There are very different run times for 180 vs. 360 degrees of light, but how does one turn on just one side of the lighthouse 600? There's a knob. I turn it slowly, both sides light up. What am I missing?
March 8, 2021
Can the Lighthouse 600 be left on a USB charger fulltime, like the Yeti 400 and the Sherpa 100PD? All are used only during power failures in a residential setting.
