Product Information

Full details

The BioLite AlpenGlow Mini Lantern is a portable and compact lighting solution ideal for campers, backpackers, and travelers seeking versatile, quality illumination. Its key benefit is providing up to 150 lumens with accurate color rendering and multiple lighting modes, all in a durable, weather-resistant package. A potential caveat is its shorter battery life on high settings, requiring mindful usage on extended trips. Key features include its compact size, multiple lighting modes (warm white, dimming, single color, color cycling, party cycling), ChromaReal LED technology for accurate colors, a 40-hour max burn time, IPX4 waterproofing, and an integrated bungee for easy hanging.

Troubleshooting

Lantern does not turn on.

Ensure the lantern is adequately charged. Connect it to a USB power source for at least 30 minutes and try again. Check that the USB cable and power source are functioning correctly.

Dim or flickering light.

The battery may be low. Recharge the lantern fully. If the issue persists after charging, check for any obstructions or dirt on the LED lens.

Lantern not charging.

Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the lantern and the power source. Try using a different USB-C cable and power source to rule out equipment failure.

Buttons are unresponsive.

Gently clean the buttons with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, try performing a soft reset by ensuring the device is fully charged and then holding the power button for an extended period (consult manual if available for specific reset procedures).
