The Goal Zero Crush Light Chroma is a versatile LED lantern designed for portability and ease of use, offering both white light and a range of vibrant colors. This compact and collapsible lantern is ideal for camping, emergencies, or simply adding ambiance to any setting. Its design emphasizes convenience, featuring multiple recharging options and intuitive controls.
Before its initial use, it's important to take the Crush Light Chroma out of its DEMO mode. This is easily done by pressing and holding the on/off button for 10 seconds. Once out of DEMO mode, the lantern is ready for full functionality. For optimal performance, it is recommended to fully charge the Crush Light Chroma before its first use.
The lantern offers a variety of lighting modes to suit different needs. When turned on, the default is white light, which can be cycled through three brightness settings: High, Medium, and Low. To switch between these white light modes, simply press the on/off button sequentially. A single press activates High mode, a second press switches to Medium, and a third press engages Low. For a more ambient effect, the lantern also features a Candle Flicker mode. This can be activated by pressing and holding the on/off button for 2 seconds. To turn the lantern off completely, press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds.
Beyond its white light capabilities, the Crush Light Chroma truly shines with its color modes. To access these, double-click the on/off button when the lantern is already on. This action will switch the lantern from white light to a Multi-color Fade Mode, where the colors will smoothly transition. If you prefer a static color, press the on/off button again while in Multi-color Fade Mode to cycle through individual color options. The available colors include Green (1X press), Aqua (2X press), Blue (3X press), Magenta (4X press), Red (5X press), and Orange (6X press). To return to the white LED mode from any color mode, simply double-click the on/off button once more. It's worth noting that the runtimes for the color modes may vary depending on the specific color selected.
The Crush Light Chroma is designed with convenience in mind when it comes to recharging. It offers two primary methods: USB and solar power. For quick charging, the lantern can be connected to a USB power source via its Micro USB Input. A full charge using a USB source takes approximately 2.5 hours. Alternatively, the integrated solar panel allows for eco-friendly recharging directly from the sun. When relying on solar power, a full charge typically takes around 20 hours of direct sunlight.
Monitoring the charging status is straightforward. An LED indicator light, located next to the charging port, provides visual feedback. When the Crush Light Chroma is actively charging, this indicator light will glow red. Once the lantern is fully charged, the light will turn green, signaling that it's ready for use.
For efficient solar recharging, proper placement of the Crush Light Chroma is key. It is recommended to position the lantern so that its solar panel is directly angled towards the sun. To maximize the charge throughout the day, it's helpful to periodically reposition the lantern to maintain the best possible angle relative to the sun's movement. This ensures that the solar panel receives continuous direct sunlight, optimizing charging speed and effectiveness.
The lantern also incorporates practical design elements for enhanced usability. It features a removable hanger, allowing it to be easily suspended in a tent, from a tree branch, or in other convenient locations. Its collapsible design makes it highly portable and easy to store, taking up minimal space when not in use. The Crush Light Chroma is also weatherproof, with an IPX4 rating, meaning it can withstand splashes of water from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use in various conditions.
In summary, the Goal Zero Crush Light Chroma is a user-friendly and versatile LED lantern that combines practical white light with a fun array of colors. Its dual recharging options, intuitive controls, and durable, portable design make it a reliable companion for a wide range of activities and environments.
