Review - Terra Friendly Solar Night Light w/Snuggle Cover #OriginalHybridNightLight



I bought this product with a huge discount in exchange of my honest review.





First and foremost, this is a very cute cordless Led lamp. It has various covers and I bought the one with the owl print cover which is also removable. The led lamp is a small cube approx. 4 inches tall and wide. It works on solar energy so it saves you from buying battery packs or charging using electricity.



The small led cube is perfect for outdoor and indoor use. I am actually using it as my night lamp because of the convenience it brings. It does not have a cord and it won't tumble or fall if I accidentally push it on my night stand. It is light weight too and I can easily carry it around using my index finger without any effort.



There are 4 settings to choose if you want the led cube lamp to go brighter or dimmer. Then there is a power button on the middle of the base for power on/off function.

Another good thing about this product is that it can float! You can use while camping near the lake without any fear of it getting wet. And you can take it too fishing! Aside from that, use it as an outdoor lighting decor during parties and as floaters on pools.



The only problem I had encountered when I first used the product was that, it took me a while to inflate it because I don't have a balloon blower to use. I had to blow air to the small led cube and I even had to ask my husband to help half-way through because I couldn't inflate the cube fast enough. Other than, I don't have other complaints about this product. It is very functional for me to use.

You can purchase this from Amazon.

Review - AYL Starlight 330 LED Lantern #StarLight330


** I received this product for free for evaluation purposes. My findings are 100% mine and may vary from yours.


This AYL Starlight LED Lamp really lives up to its purpose - it really illuminates brightly. That is the first thing I liked about it. It also comes with 3 settings. You can choose super bright, medium bright and the third one can be used as a blinker for emergencies or road side assistance warning device.

What I like:
It is not heavy.

I like the compact size of this product. It's just around 7 inches high excluding the handle but it packs so much power in illuminating the surrounding areas.

The 2nd setting is really, really bright and bright enough to illuminate a small room decently.

It is a LED lantern and lasts longer than other battery-operated lamps with bulbs. It is like the LED kitchen ceiling lights we have in our home which is economical because it lasts long and saves on electricity.

No need for kerosene to light this up.





What I didn't like:
There are few things that I didn't like much about this product. 
First is, I find it hard to re-twist or close the bottom part where you have to put the 3 "D" size batteries. 

2nd, it is quite cumbersome to look for that size of batteries because it's not common anymore. I had to search several groceries to find some.

3rd, the blinker blinks a bit fast with only few milli seconds interval. I think the flashing strobe just blinks fast that it slightly gave me a headache and you can't stare at it. There should be a warning on the box or instructional leaflet that it is not advisable for those with epilepsy or seizures. I don't have epilepsy but I just find the blinking very uncomfortable. *Please watch the demo video below.


Lastly, I would have preferred this to be a rechargeable product because it's easier that way rather than buy batteries. However, if it is rechargeable, it would not make sense at all to use it for camping when you have no access to electrical outlets unless you have your car battery with you as main source of power.

My recommendation:
Despite those features that I didn't really quite like, the product itself is not bad. It actually is a good one and really lives it for its purpose. It is waterproof but not splash proof. You can handle it 2 ways - one using the handle or invert it at the bottom, there's another small handle to use and you can remove the casing for optimum brightness and coverage.

I will still recommend this product. Like I mentioned earlier, it is a good product despite of the things I didn't like and because those are my preference. It is bright and will be useful for camping, outdoor activities and emergencies. Just be careful when you set it on the flash strobe mode.
