2,000mah for $49 and it takes 14hrs to charge via solar. Thats prety poor performance.

Yes, in cloudy weather or at higher altitudes it takes a while. Still, better than having no light at all.
You can also charge it in 1-4 hours using the built-in USB port, then take it along on an evening hike.

We have used these... without the USB charger... for backpacking. Great in the tent to save headlamp batteries. If hung on the outside of your pack all day we have never had trouble with them not having enough charge for the evening and early morning. No way would I count on the charger function to keep phone or other electronics charged.

Can you tell me why have it not impressed you? I thought products of that brand are impressive. But I still think, there are many other amazing brands. I have been looking through this site https://www.amazon.com/Vont-Flashlight-Flashlights-Water-resistant-Accessories/dp/B08 9T8HDBV recently and found a few really impressive proposals. The prices here are pretty affordable. But the main advantage is the quality and reputation of this resource. What do you think about my point of view, is it right to some extent? And what proven resources and sites do you use, can you share please?

Well, I just had to click onto the link to look at this product. Yeah, it is a good idea, kinda upscale, good intentions, etc but I am not going to buy one. Why not? Because for the past year I have had experience with another 'light' product easily found on Amazon that has been totally satisfactory and more reasonably priced. I dont want anybody thinking Im making any coin from click-ons so I wont post a link.
It/they are Edison light bulb looking LED bulbs that have their own lith battery, a small but effective solar panel and cord, will also charge up on a usb cord with the micro(?) plug. A hook on the top lets you hang it about anywhere and you can disconnect and carry it around like a handheld flood light too. The little panel will charge small devices also and About $11 bucks each/3 pack about $30. If I wasnt already so heavily invested in panels, wires, cc, inverters, batteries Id just buy more of these for cabin lights.
I have these for 'back up' lighting and a shade ready to have one hung inside, even thought about using the 'Chinese lantern' similar in effect to this Luminaid product. Imo each bulb is a good sight better than our old large kero table lamps, want even more light in an area, just hang 2.

I have a couple like gcrank spoke of.
The small one has the USB charger, or you can use the solar panel to charge the light or use it to recharge your cell phone etc.
The bigger one has the e26 screw in threads for 110 volt recharge/use, or you can use the solar panel to recharge. It also has a remote with 3 settings.
I've had both types for several years now, and use them every nite. They still seem to be holding up well.
