Design

The Galileo Tempest 350 is kind of completely different from the earlier Nebo lights I’ve reviewed. It’s a tubular design with a see-through plastic physique that exposes the lantern LEDs, which circle across the mild with a reflector that’s angled outwards to unfold the sunshine out.

The principle LEDs can work with half or all of the lights activated, supplying you with some path choices, and these will be both regular or pink lighting.

On the highest of the lamp is a further LED and reflector that works as a highlight and supplies as much as 150 lumens of sunshine.

That is the primary Nebo mild I’ve used that makes use of AA batteries, that are pre-installed. You may, in fact, swap these out for rechargeable batteries. Whereas I favor USB-C chargeable lights for decrease operating prices and simple charging, having swappable batteries is clearly one thing that will be helpful in a tenting surroundings.

Just like the Nebo work mild, this has a magnetic base, permitting you to simply mount it on any ferromagnetic steel like metal. The bottom additionally has two hooks you possibly can raise up permitting you to hold the lantern.

Lastly, you could have an included lanyard, which once more is helpful for carrying and attaching to issues.

The one different Galileo lantern I’ve reviewed is the a lot bigger collapsible Galileo Air 1000. I like this Galileo Tempest 350 on account of its small six and versatile lighting and mounting choices.

As there’s not a lot data on-line concerning the Temptest 350, the beneath video might present some helpful data.

Efficiency

With a most lumen output of 350 lumens from the lantern and 150 lumens from the highlight, it’s removed from the brightest Nebo lights, however the efficiency is sweet for one thing so small and inexpensive.

I wouldn’t need to depend on the lantern to light up a tenting space for a number of folks or as my predominant mild, however the efficiency is sweet sufficient for a few folks. I’d say it’s higher used inside a tent or automobile the place it ought to present loads of mild.

The directional choice is useful as effectively. I haven’t used it for tenting, but it surely has been helpful for offering illumination in my loft when I’ve been engaged on my networking {hardware}. I can level it within the path of the realm I’m engaged on with out blinding myself with the 360 lighting. The magnetic base can be nice for mounting to the facet of a networking rack.

The flashlight is fundamental. At 150 lumens, it’s on the low finish of brightness for a budget flashlights you could find on Amazon. That doesn’t matter, although, as it’s a helpful addition, and I’ve used it in my automobile fairly just a few instances when routing round for one thing at the hours of darkness.

Contemplating the low value level, small design, and versatile utilization, the general efficiency is great.
