Very versatile light

This light was bought primarily for fishing and emergency lighting during power outages, when I need fast lighting at various outputs. Compared to other lights, the Outask was smaller, more compact, had larger battery capacity and a high light output. The best feature for me is the adjustable head to direct the light where it is needed.

When storms caused power outages, the Outask gave an abundance of light in a set up time of just seconds. The output was sufficient to have a room well-lit for safety and to let people know the home was occupied. I could cook, do repairs, read, apply first aid, and organise other lights, power sources etc.

The rotating and swivelling head lets me direct the light where I want it, particularly for my fishing when I don’t want the light shining in the water. The ability to raise the light on the telescopic pole makes it more efficient than a light on the ground (that is why home lighting is on the ceilings and street lighting is on poles), so by using the telescopic and directional features, I can run the light on a lower setting but get the same effect. This extends the battery run time.

High light output generates high heat that can lead to product failure. The Outask deals with this using an aluminium alloy head with holes bored through it. I understand that heat generated by the light is absorbed into the metal. In the horizontal position, as the heat rises, it draws air from underneath the head through the holes, to dissipate the heat more efficiently, like the radiator in my car. Reducing the heat should extend the life of the Outask over those lights that do not have this feature.

The aluminium-alloy telescoping pole is smooth and strong. The light output is excellent in either, the bright white or warm white modes, with three levels of adjustment. For photographers it could make for fast, easy to set up, capable lighting.

Optional extras expand the usefulness of the Outask. The case is of such a high quality, it could pass for military grade. It has a carry handle for the light in torch (flashlight) mode and offers valuable protection for my investment. By using the strap at the rear of the case I can attach the Outask to the molle points on my backpack for easy access. This is ideal when arriving in the dark with the need for fast lighting to set up camp. I don’t even have to take it off my backpack, just extend the pole and turn on the light.

Optional lampshades convert the Outask to a nice table lamp with soft lighting and the red lampshade is great for safety for car breakdowns, (when using the S.O.S. function), a warning light to mark a campsite or hazard or night lighting that does not affect my night vision. Red and yellow lighting is less attractive to insects. The Outask has a USB port for emergency charging of my phone or devices.

Whether camping, fishing, working, during emergencies, photography, barbecues or just out on the patio, the Outask is versatile enough to cover many scenarios. As a premium product made from quality materials, it attracts a higher price, but I expect it to outlast cheaper copies and not let me down when I need it the most.

Tested this out on a camp recently. Its brilliant. It was the only light I needed. The tripods opens easily and its very stable. Being able to ajust the light brightness is a reall winner for me when filming content. Definitely worth the wait and the money. Awsome product from and awsome team. Nice work.

Really well built piece of kit.

Great lantern with excellent battery life.

It's surprised me how much this one light can do! I bought nearly 20+ different lights from brands, they are good in some way but always come with more limitations once you use them for a while and you always need to carry many lights out when camping. But With this Outask my life is much easier, and thanks to telescope design it can transform from a flashlight to a table light or work light. with Plenty of Battery! Remember it always annoys me when old camping lights need charge every day if you use them for the entire night but this one can last two or three days with no trouble.
A Very happy shopping experience and definitely will come back for more, Your website looks fantastic and have lots of goodies I want to buy!

Amazing customer service. I rang the company as I need the item before my camping trip this weekend. They were happy to upgrade to overnight shipping for free.

I recently used it during an overnight fishing trip and it worked perfectly. it stuck firmly to my 4WD, making it easy to set up my gear in the dark. The adjustable light head covered the whole area, and the adjustable stand was great for both close work and lighting up the broader campsite.
The battery also impressed me as it lasted the entire night on the highest output setting.

This is the best camping light I’ve ever had. I took it on a solo hiking trip and it was a lifesaver. The battery lasted the whole three days, and I loved switching between warm and bright light depending on what I was doing. The lantern was tough enough to handle a bit of rough weather, and the waterproof feature meant I didn’t worry about the rain. Setting it up as a high tripod light made cooking and reading in my tent so much easier. Highly recommend!

Good quality

Very handy light with good features, perfect for my hiking gear
