Assuming your light is a "Luci" or similar they are great. I bought one
years ago back when you had to order them direct from Mpowered and when you
bought one they matched it by donating one to villagers in developing
nation. We use ours regularly both in the van as a reading light for the
upper bunk and tent camping. Living in Alaska it is also part of our
earthquake preparedness kit.
The best I can claim this year is a 2019 Alaska State Parks Pass, that and
I might finally have found a shop to use this winter for swapping the
Bostig I've had for two years in so as to not waste our valuable summer
camping season with a down rig!
