- Hey folks, it's Lauren from Snowys here
with the BioLite SiteLight String.
♪ Hit it ♪
It's a compacted, but extendable daisy chain light system.
It provides a nice, gentle ambient lighting
and it's conveniently powered by USB.
So your BioLite SiteLights on a string
will come in this little storage box here
and you'll also get a little instruction manual,
information with it as well.
And it also comes with, in addition to the lights itself,
your little USB plug here that will power the lights.
So, the lights themselves,
as they are here now, weigh about 70 grammes.
The stack is around about seven and a half centimetres tall.
And in diameter, we've got
around about six centimetres here,
to account for all the extra cords and things.
But the lights themselves are probably closer
to five centimetres.
So, basically in use,
all we need to do is
pop each of the individual sections apart.
As you can see here, on the inside we've got
three little knobs here
which hold the lights (lights pop together) together
when they're stacked,
(lights pop out) but otherwise
you just give them a bit of a jiggle
and pull them apart like so,
and then you unwind them,
or just give them a bit of a shake,
and they'll sort of work towards unwinding themselves.
So all in all, the cable length from power source
to the end of the light string is three metres.
In between each of the lights themselves,
we have about 53 centimetres of cable.
As we've got here at the end,
I'll give you, I'll show you once I finish getting this
(lights jiggle)
cable here undone, okay, there we go.
(Lauren laughs)
Now this end here with the little headphone jack piece,
that's your power source end.
And from the first light to power source,
you've got about 120 centimetres there.
So to operate your lights,
we simply plug that headphone jack in,
into the USB connection.
And then that can go either into your car charger
or your 12 volt power source or anything,
even 240 volt power source,
that has the USB output section there.
Or you can even use a portable power pack
which is an excellent option, if you have a campsite
where your power source is further away
and you wanna hang these up in the trees
or something along those lines.
Now, as you can see,
as soon as I plugged it in, the lights came on,
there's no on and off switch with these lights.
It's just simply power on or off through your power source.
Also, they're not dimmable.
These are, this is the light setting that they're on.
If you do have a BioLite PowerLight
or a Biolite BaseLantern, you can actually plug the USB
into the back of those because they have an output option.
And through those light systems, you can dim them,
but any other power source, it's just the single light.
Now, whilst we're talking about the actual light itself,
we've got four of them in the string.
There's a total of 150 lumens overall,
which means each individual light is putting out
around about, or just under, I should say 40 lumens.
On the end of the cable here
we have these little yellow hooks,
and we've got those on both ends.
This just is there to help you loop it safe,
you're looping it around a tree or a tent pole
to lock it into place.
You could also possibly use it to hook in on itself,
to help hang the lights in a bunch or together
as opposed to being a fully extended string.
Now on the other end of the cable here,
we have like an input for that headphone jack.
And basically, what that means is that
you have the option to extend your SiteLight
with a second set.
So, this is the the USB connecting end on the SiteLight.
On your second set, all you need to do
is plug that directly into the end
of your existing SiteLight cable.
And then you're able to double the length of your light.
And you can do that infinite amount of times.
You can daisy chain that light.
So, there is no power consumption specifications
for the SiteLight provided by BioLite,
which suggests to me
that the consumption itself is fairly negligible.
That's about it for the BioLite SiteLight on a string.
