USAGE TIP

FAQs

Can I leave AlpenGlow outside overnight?

Keeping it outside overnight at your campsite is totally fine. AlpenGlow is IPX4 rated, which means it can handle dew and rain. For best protection against the elements, keep the ports securely closed with the rubber doors. We recommend bringing it inside during freezing temps for best care of the internal battery.

What are the color temperatures of the Cool and Warm settings on AlpenGlow?

Cool White Lantern is 5700K, Warm White Lantern is 2700K

How long does it take to recharge?

Approximately 2.5 hours

How do I get to candle flicker or party mode setting?

Give it a shake! For candle mode, shake it on the warm white setting. For Party mode, shake it on the static multicolor setting.

Can I control how fast the colors cycle through?

Yes! When on dynamic single color (when the lantern is auto-cycling through one color at a time) or dynamic blended color (same but the lantern is a combo of colors), if you press and hold the top button, the lantern will briefly flash GREEN, YELLOW, RED: these correspond to [3] different speeds, green being the fastest and red being the slowest. Release your finger from the button on the color that represents the speed you want and AlpenGlow will adjust to that tempo.

How do I know how much battery is left?

There are four small LEDs at the bottom of the unit that indicate battery percentages. When you are approaching empty, your unit will go into Low Power Mode: it will flash four times and then switch to low brightness on warm or cool white (no other modes accessible). In Low Power Mode, AlpenGlow will provide an additional 1 hour of light. To exit Low Power Mode, recharge your unit.

Great Purchase

7 months ago

The AlpenGlow 250 may be small, but it provides a radiant amount of light in smaller settings/rooms. Presently, I have mine in my bedroom and it works as well as a desk lamp. I may add more to my collection for other use.

Excellent light!

a year ago

Tested it after charging it. True to advertising- it stayed on low for over 7 days before the battery went out. Charged right back up in a day with small solar panel USB charger.

Perfect hostess gift

2 years ago

Bought two as hostess gifts when invited to stay a cabins. Excellent decor addition and also light source when power outages occur. We like that we can in/decrease the light intensity.

Candle flicker for the win!

2 years ago

We use these every day in candle mode when we turn down the apartment. They are so convenient and cozy, we even brought them with us to the delivery room! The USB out is also handy in a pinch when you can't find a charger. 10/10, excellent product whether camping or at home.

Yes, I recommend this product.
