Really great light, I have the 500. We just had a nor’easter, and we were without power for four days. The light, (and all of my other BioLite products), really made the four days a lot more comfortable. Thanks.
So glad to hear it, and hope you are doing ok after that nor'easter
Just got mine today and cannot wait to try them out tonight!
I’m 24 and got mine today and was so excited they are so nice my sis laughed at me. I love them. Sturdy too. I’m probably getting another set I bought for whole family but to me wasn’t enough I need two for my own party in my room 🤣. These are great products. So far u haven’t let me down biolite. Also I went to the darkest part of my house and used them and they were so good. I even compared to the light in tht room and we couldn’t tell the difference. Compared to a flashlight when all four are on they outshine the flashlight. I love your products 🇨🇦🤩. I like the message behind your company so will continue to buy. I hope one day u all can make an actual solar generator u all will probably blow the competition out. I would be first in line to buy. 🙌🏾. Thank u for giving me light and saving my electric bill for all the reading I can now do in the night.
Thank you for making this detailed instructional video. I really like all your products and am a proud owner of most of your products. Keep the good work going.
Have the Alpenglow 500, sitelights string and sitelight Duo. Great combination. Great tutorial. Love these products.
Hi, just a quick one, does the site lights have the doing feature with the Alpen?
Love it and great video. I swore off ever buying another item that has micro USB - this could possibly change my mind but I would jump on a couple of them if it used USB C.
Excellent instructional, and a product to match! The high lumen outputs together with the warm white mode (and long battery life) make it a great standard type lantern, and the colours and adjustability then make it the ultimate portable mood light as well. The 250 looks ideal for my solo camping purposes :)
Thank you for the feedback! Happy camping!
I have the 250 it look a great product !
I just received my Alpenglow 500 today and I love it. The only flaw that I can see is that the candle mode is not continuous. It flickers for about four seconds, pauses for one second, then repeats the pattern. Apparently that is by design; you can see the pause at the end of the flickering at 2:47 in this video.
I wish the flickering were continuous, but maybe it is designed this way on purpose to conserve battery power.
So glad to hear you'r enjoying your AlpenGlow! Candle Flicker mode is designed to have a natural flicker cadence (smooth flame effected by occasional air movement) which is why it's not continuous, but this is great feedback for our team. Thank you.
@@BioLiteChannel I also considered that might be the case. In my opinion the pause only makes the flickering appear unnatural because it is on such a regular pattern. If you do want to keep the pause for making it appear more natural, my advice would be to make the pause shorter, or better yet, it should be completely random in terms of when the pauses occur and how long they last.
@@nathanjamesbaker thank you for the feedback!
Great little light; love a model that simply turns on white with +/- intensity and the half/half option; does anybody actually use the pretty colours options? Thanks for the video; reviewing it again as it's been a year since I used my light when camping :)
Why my lamp has default blue light as first mode when I turn it on? How to reset back to cold white ? I have 250 Alpen glow
I got mine a couple months ago, two of them. One of them thinks it is charging or won't switch to the colorful modes anymore. Just the cool white and warm white modes. Help? Let me say though the lights are beautiful. I have the base XL version too and it is alright. At least in the new ones, you don't have to get on your phone to get to the color morph mode on the XL basecamp. That is an improvement seen in these AlpenGlows'. But is there a factory reset or something to fix my problem. They aren't old and got through Dillards couple months ago.
Hi BioLite, do the mini site lights have the dimmable functionality to them with the Alpen 250? As I can't find a base lantern or power anywhere in Australia. All help appreciated cheers
Can you recharge it with your biolite stove?
Since everything on the trail is dependent on if the bio lite camp stove can charge it, does it? I would buy the fire pit but it must be able to make electric power. I know you can do it. Soon.
Hello great video clip. candle mode how many lumens.
Hi, question can you charge them with the biolite stove? Thanks 😊 i really like you products 👍🏼
Yes you can. There is enough output on the CampStove 2+ to charge up our AlpenGlow Lanterns.
@@BioLiteChannel hi, that "+" different version then 2?
@@akaytheking No, they are the same. The official name of the product is the CampStove 2+.
@@BioLiteChannel thnx. I love my stove 2
U re the best :) greetings from Turkiye...
@@BioLiteChannel What about my Original Campstove? (I just persuaded a friend to get a Campstove, so I found out there's a new Campstove 2+), and I'm getting bombarded with Biolite ads now. Seriously considering a 500 and can't see why my Campstove couldn't recharge it, even if it took a bit longer?
Love my AlpenGlow 500, just got it. Any chance does it have a timer setting, ie auto off after 60 minutes or something like that? Thank you.
Hi there - thanks for the note! Our AlpenGlows do not have an auto off mode at this time, but we will share this feedback with the team. Enjoy your lantern!
All of the color modes on my 500 have stoped working. Only the cool and warm white modes work. I expected much more from you BioLite. The colors are the only reason I bought this lantern. Apparently that feature is just a one year trial. 😢
Update - the color modes don't work while the unit is charging. Once I unplugged from the charging cable the beautiful colors once more rained down happiness. Thanks to the Biolite support team for pointing it out. My faith in your products is restored.
My 500 weirdly doesn't appear to have a bright mode and I seem to be following the directions properly. It flashes but doesn't actually change and become dimmer or brighter. I'm wondering if it's because I used it straight out of the box without first charging it. But it cycled through all the colors, fireworks etc with no problem. At one point after lots of monkeying around it went into a mode in which if consistently repeated an ultra almost painfully bright flash pattern (but slow) but I don't know how I did that nor its purpose and it would never stay on that bright - it would only do a brief flash. Any thoughts? Thanks.

@@BioLiteChannel It only had one light on for battery level so I charged it then went to bed. Woke up and it now behaves as it should! So I think obviously that its behavior was that on such a low battery it won't allow bright other than the quick burst of ultra bright. That may have been its own way of alerting that it's almost run dry, which would actually be a smart feature because my trying to change the brightness level induced it probably (it would be horrible if that started on its own while sleeping for instance).
@@Ayram9 great to hear it's working! Good catch, yes low battery mode will put in a reserve state to give you a bit of light for as long as possible.
Kinda was hoping the red light could be dimmed even more :/
Why not include stronger batteries? 1200 mAh to 2500 mAh wouldn't cost that much more but the lamps would last so much longer. I don't get it.
Hi Hans -- the 250 has a 3200 mAh battery and the 500 has a 6400 mAh battery. We're fitting a lot of functionality in a very small space while also trying to keep weight and cost in mind for our users. Thanks!
Product looks great, but omg, just add a couple extra buttons. You shouldn't need to watch a 7 minute video tutorial just to control a light. It's overly complicated IMO.
Just purchased 2 of the 500’s and a 250. Upon closer inspection there is a hazard warning for “Cancer and Reproductive Harm” in tiny font on the underside of the packaging?? Is that in relation to the lights, the materials used in manufacture or the packaging??? Seems very odd for an environmentally conscious brand and something I regret purchasing … was dual purpose for camping and for my kids night lights, which I’d be irresponsible to use for this purpose now I know this! Think I’ll return and get a refund. Plenty of HARMLESS alternative light sources on the market
Hello - thank you for the note! To address your concern, our AlpenGlows don't have materials that require that warning. Why is it on there? The state of California requires this notice any time a product contains a specific material - in our case a plastic. Our manufacturing team is working on completing testing through an independent lab to get this removed - a regular process that often takes some time and overlaps with initial production runs. We hope this helps you get out and use the product with peace of mind!
@@BioLiteChannel … That’s a great response and exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you
