Goal Zero USB-rechargeable LED lantern and flashlight Lighthouse Micro Flash, 2.4 oz, IPX6 weather-resistant

The Goal Zero Lighthouse Micro Flash is a pocket-sized, USB- and solar-rechargeable LED lantern that doubles as a compact flashlight for camping, emergencies, and everyday carry.

Small enough to stash in a jacket pocket or car glovebox, the Lighthouse Micro Flash blends long-lasting LED output with flexible charging options. It delivers bright, useful light from either one or both faces and converts to a focused handheld flashlight, while weighing just 2.4 ounces and fully charging in roughly 3.5 hours from USB or a compatible solar panel.

How bright is the Lighthouse Micro Flash and what runtimes can I expect?

The Micro Flash provides usable light levels for a range of tasks, from close-up camp chores to signaling or walking after dark. Output varies by mode—flashlight, one-side lantern, or both-sides lantern—so you can prioritize brightness or extended runtime depending on need.

• Flashlight mode: up to 120 lumens; runtimes ~8.5 hours (high) and ~100 hours (low).
• One-side lantern: up to 135 lumens; runtimes ~15 hours (high) and ~170 hours (low).
• Both-sides lantern: combined output around 135–150 lumens; runtimes ~7 hours (high) and ~80 hours (low).

How do I recharge it and how long does charging take?

Recharge is straightforward: use any standard USB power source or a compatible Goal Zero solar panel for off-grid charging. The internal battery is designed for quick replenishment so the light is ready for your next outing or emergency.

• Charge time: approximately 3.5 hours from a USB port or compatible solar panel.
• Single USB input port for convenient plug-and-play charging.
• Works with most USB power banks, wall adapters, laptops, and Goal Zero solar panels.

Is the Lighthouse Micro Flash durable and weather-resistant enough for outdoor use?

This light is built for active use: compact, rugged, and rated to handle wet conditions so it’s suitable for camping, backpacking, and emergency kits. Its small size hides a tough design meant to withstand the elements and everyday bumps.

• IPX6 weather resistance sheds heavy splashes and stormy conditions.
• Lightweight 2.4 oz construction easily fits pockets and gear loops.
• Compact dimensions (3.66" x 1.5") streamline packing and carry.

What practical ways can I use this light on a trip or in an emergency?

Its flexible modes let you tailor illumination to tasks: broad soft light for tent interiors, single-side long-life mode for reading, or focused flashlight mode for trails. Because it recharges from USB or solar, it also serves as a reliable backup when power is limited.

• Tent or table light using one or both lantern faces.
• Handheld flashlight for navigation, signaling, or repairs.
• Emergency kit staple for cars, homes, and go-bags due to long low-mode runtimes.

Who is this for? The Goal Zero Lighthouse Micro Flash suits hikers and ultralight campers who need dependable, minimal-weight illumination; commuters and drivers who want a compact emergency light; and anyone building a small, rechargeable lighting kit for home or travel. If you want a versatile, weatherproof light that charges from USB or solar and won’t weigh down your pack, this micro lantern is a practical choice.
