So many things to love about this! The removable light panels can be propped up, pinned up via a magnet, carried with ease due to the slight handle that pops out. While you are able to take the panels out to wander, the base has more than enough light on its own to still be effective without the side panels installed. Oh - each panel has has a light on its end that can act like a flashlight. Too awesome! Of course all panels and the base have multiple light settings. ONLY down side is that it takes 8x D batteries. This can add to the weight of it, but as the base is more likely to stay still (as a base), I don't think this is a real factor. Highly recommend for any camping trip or even just to have in your car/house. It would be excellent to provide light for a family during a power outage.
