Like most of goal zero products this torch is expensive for what it is.however what it does it does very well. It is a very nice smart torch with a built in crank handle and a quality solar panel. If you leave it in the morning by the window when you go out to work when you come home it wi be very Nicely charged up and ready to go.
The touch is a doddle to use The flashing red warning or strip light easy to set.
If you want you can have all the lights on at on at once or low or high setting.
Another good feature is it is simple to use and can shine light for a long duration of time, before running out of juice.
Once my I phone run out if battery power And you can use the USB port built in cable to charge up a mobile very quickly indeed.
To be honest , although this torch is expensive It is it is worth every penny it cost.
Great styling , great to charge up a mobile in no time at all. You can run any thing you like off the USB port. it has its own built in handle to hang it up by too.
It has no batteries that go off and can leak. The built in solar panel keeps the torch fully
Charged up and ready to go.
Keep in the car for a emergency or in the house in case of a mains cut. It is also
Good as a bed side light when your great aunty is feeling ill or kids frighten of sleeping
In the dark. The great thing about it can stay on all night till the next day.
They say the best things in life are free and with the gadget solar power is free so enjoy
Ops I adding a further comment I just come back from 4 days camping in the wilds of snowdon mountains. I been walking from say 10 am till 4 pm up 2 thousand feet up with this torch with the solar panel on test on charge on the back of my rucksack it had not put any charge in to the torch at all the solar panel is a complete wast of time I'm having to use my friends b it powerful external battery power pack to run this for h at night for camping. We got the power packs running this torch w funny enough using two goal zero portable
we charged up in the car 12 volts and now running this other goal zero torch off it though the built in USB provided. So I don't know know what to say it a bit of a messy story now

An Awesome Flashlight for All-Around Use!
I love this flashlight! It is very well constructed and feels balanced when you hold it in your hand. The solar panel on the flashlight itself works, but will take a long time to recharge it. It better suits recharging the flashlight if you leave it sit in a window sill all of the time when your not using it. I normally charge my Torch 250 using a USB AC Charge Adapter device. If you want to charge the Torch 250 Flashlight using Goal Zero's solar panels, I would recommend using the Nomad 20 solar panel. I have included a few photos of the Torch 250 flashlight and one photo of the Torch 250 to show how you would attach it to the backside of the Nomad 20 solar panel. My only issue with this flashlight is the length of the built in USB recharging cable. The cable is not very long, but I see why because the cable hides itself nicely in the side of the flashlight.
