## Reviews

- ★★☆☆☆ **First one had a fault**: My first K12 had a fault out of the box. Support swapped it within a week and the replacement is fine. (Sami O., Ashby Hollow)
- ★★★★★ **Does exactly what it says**: 600 lumens is the real number. We used the K12 for a week at Wren Falls and it never let us down. (Lior D., Wren Falls)
- ★★★★★ **Lighter than I expected**: 410 g is nothing in a pack. The K12 rides in the side pocket and I forget it is there. (Marta K., Brackwater)
- ★★★★☆ **Matches the spec sheet**: The listing promises 40 h of runtime on low and that matches our own trip. Setup takes about a minute. (Marta K., Holloway Pass)
- ★★★★★ **Third one I have bought**: We keep one in the van, one at the cabin near Fennick and one in the hall closet. The K12 has never let us down. (Noor S., Fennick)
- ★★★★★ **Survived a rough trip**: Rain, sand and a tumble down a scree slope near Brackwater. The IPX4 seal held up and it still works like new. (Rafe M., Brackwater)
