Goal Zero says:
Lightweight and easy to pack, the colorful Crush Light Chroma turns any campsite into a party. This collapsible solar lantern boasts six color modes and a multi-color fade in addition to the same three white light settings and candle flicker mode of the award-winning Crush Light. Charge it up quickly from any USB port before you go and use the built-in solar panel to keep it powered from the sun throughout your adventure.
Our Verdict
I take one of these on all of my backpacking trips; it’s nice knowing I can leave the lantern on the back of my rucksack, usually in the mesh pocket throughout the day, knowing it’s getting some charge; it packs flat so it doesn’t take up any space. Then at camp, I can use it outside the tent for some ambient lighting and then inside my tent if I need to find anything in the dark; it's low weight and low bulk.
Being able to change the lantern's colours isn't something I need, but it could be fun at a base camp.
