Rubbish

Good as a paperweight

Although advertised as giving up to 7 hours light, the longest it has ever stayed alight is 22 minutes. Now it refuses to work at all.

This is the worst impulse buy I have made. Performed badly when new and has deteriorated ever since. As I bought it whiles on a camping trip, I cannot remember where I bought it from. I contacted the manufacturer Gelert to see if I could get a replacement as it was obviously faulty. They keep telling me to take it back to a shop 200 miles away, which I cannot trace anyway. I would steer clear of this companies products as they are not interested if you have a problem with one of their products.
