Hey guys Devin here with back country exposure again. That tagline you gotta love. We are talking about the light to life micro USB quad from gold zero today here in my hands so guys. This is a product I am very excited to share with. You today you a brief introduction in my flip 20 video but what's exciting about. These lights don't come out until August 2016. They are not released. And I'm very fortunate to have the ability to get my hands on. It my friends at gold zero were able to share. These with me what's cool about. They do have the light of life from micro USB already available but. It is a single light. This is a quad so you've got four lights. It stretches across a much wider space. It gives you a lot of cool versatility of different lighting options. And such, so we're gonna we're gonna string this across in. These trees I'm going to show. It works and we're gonna go from there. Now the light of life micro USB quad setup strung up in a tree just to simulate but. This is being powered by my flip 20. It plugs in by USB and I've got. This strung out it was a little darker but I've got. This strung out about probably 10 feet. And the cool thing about. These lights is you've got different functionality based off of what type of lighting you want.
You can have it nice and bright it's on the brightest setting right. And I've got it in Lantern mode right. You can push up these silicon globes. You can create the spotlight so. If my memory recalls. These lights put off about a hundred lumens. Each of light which is really cool for the sides. They are super bright LED. And it's awesome that they're they're. All strung together in. One complete unit I really like. And the other thing that's nice about. Idon't want that much light for. That entire span of lights. Ican individually turn. These off so that one's off. Icould turn off one here as well. And then I only have two lights on. And I've reduced the amount of light. Ican have all of them on. Ican bunch them together. Ican have them closer really there's just a lot of versatility. Ilike about that is better for me in my opinion then the single.
Because you're getting four lights automatically which. You might use more so in like a car camping scenario. Something like that but. You don't have to chain the lights together like. You do with the single. That is currently available so like. These lights are not. Yet available they will be in August. Idon't know a price point. This is a really cool offering something I'm excited to use as I'm out car camping with my family. This summer I'll probably string this up in the trees. Or across my tent something to maybe my kitchen. Ido my cooking for car camping just things like. That I'm really excited about so that's about. It guys again the light of life micro USB quad light system. Ireally have to say about. It so thanks for watching guys please subscribe to the channel for more videos I'll keep them coming and leave your comments things.
You like things you probably don't like. Because I'm not amazing at. This but I'm had a good time. And we'll catch you later.

You don't care about cheap ones. And it'll help keep the mosquitoes away so there's. One use form we did get. Some fuel took a picture of. We found some paraffin oil with $6 a quart well. This was nine dollars no with six dollars for half a quart correct myself 16 ounce bottle six bucks okay. This is nine dollars for two quarts half a gallon the gallon was like $24 which is kind of ridiculous huh think about. You double the price. Some extra there but a gallon was like $24 would sit an angle sense to. They charge it up much. More money you could just pop two of these anyway that's. It the store so we did take a picture.

You don't have to use a screwdriver to remove things. And there are the 8d cell batteries the positive. And negative are marked inside so it's easy to know which way to put the batteries in screw the base on just tighten. That was really simple with the batteries in the unit weighs about 5 pounds the unit has a rotating dial switch.

They provide 390 of light on the high setting and a hundred lumens of light on the low setting the beam distance is 32 feet on high. And 19 feet on low the LEDs do not ever need to be replaced lanterns really safe to use. And it's cool to the touch. While it's running if. You ever have to clean the lantern just wipe. It down with a damp cloth. And it's a mild dish washing liquid it's pitch dark outside on my patio the lanterns on my patio table.
You can see has lit up the entire patio. This is my garage it's completely dark there are no lights on at.

Wt: 4.37 oz.
Interesting thing here made by promised aunt the band it's option B see. How quick we can set. This is your contraption see. If it's um got your standard port it's got the top. Ithink there should be a classic mantel. This is standard that comes off the top work your mantel out believe a small hole on the bottom there on the top big ball hole on the bottom see. He can get it through there just like your standard lantern mantel. Ihate Mantle's by the way. One of the things I try to do is repair old lanterns. And I'm not very good at. Ialways and handle. You manhandle the silk glass here as. You can see supposed to open. This up to a globe it's got two probes. That will go up through. And the whole yeah it's a little better so. You can kinda see it spread out like. That a little bit get your favorite bit lighter let. It light and do its work. You will see it smoke quite a bit as. It burns love to do its thing see. It comes sumed turn.
That mantle into glass. All is right in the world not wanting to burn real well their see. What I can do about. That so we'll try that yes. Iam NOT the best with Mantle's get your protective cap back on. This is a cable for holding it maybe I'm a Catholic priest yeah I'm hilarious so. You can get this on here. And a reasonable amount on without killing yourself there. You go don't open up the fuel it's got a lighter right there. You are good to go let. That burn opened up the fuel. All the way, so I'm gonna turn the light out. And that's actually. You turn the heat buddy off that's actually a lot of light. You can turn it off to. Even brighter it's about three feet behind. And go run off of these again four to seven dollars depending on where. You are mostly you people have. This refutes so you don't have candles that's.
Another option you know again that's made by Primus I've got about four of these like. Isaid it's an expensive option but. Nothing else it also gives off quite a bit of heat so maybe. This is good for snow backpacking maybe it's good for a cold damp basement see. You could walk along with. This to handle up it's got a hook on. This end anyway there.
