Looking to purchase this for our camping trips to shine in the trees. Would this work for that?

Dude it would be perfect ! It's spins pretty fast though so it would make for a truly vibe

Actually, it is quite bright (don't know how many lumens) and has a focusing feature, which means that you can go from flood to spot fairly easy. If you are putting up a tent in the dark, it will work fine. If you are caving, it will work good enough to see what is ahead of you, but I would suggest also carrying a much brighter light with you. If you are trying to use it for bicycling at night, it probably won't work for you. Did I cover all of the bases?! It should stand up in the rain - the battery compartment is gasketed, but I've never tried it on the rain.

It worked great outside. I used on leaky garden hoses. As far as the shine it did have some.

Yes I would think so. I used mine for camping where the dirt was rocky and it worked fine....anything you need shade for its good. Its pretty stable and sturdy once you fold it out and sitting in it. And the shade on top is adjustable with your sun blocking needs.

The unit works well for me in my trailer on site in the woods of Vt as long as the sun is shining and you are kind of facing a southerly direction so you get as much sun as possible. I do not know what to expect if you are on the road and traveling.

It would work over a campfire, but be aware that it is pretty thin, so it gets really hot really fast

Keep in mind it's only 5" tall, so you'd probably want to set it up off the table or hang it over your work space in order to illuminate a broader area. But it's pretty bright considering its size, so unless you're doing something fairly detailed, I think it would provide enough light for cooking. I've used it while tent camping several times, and I love it! In fact, I bought two!

This light shines a long way. On the water I have used it on things 2-3 football field away. If you want to use it to light up unhappy customers houses, well I guess it would work for that.

I have not used this light for hiking. I use it around the house, yard and for working on my car. The lamp has a single LED that's better for distance and a cluster of 3 LEDS that is better suited to area illumination. Both the Single and Cluster of 3 LEDs can be set to high or low brightness. The single LED on high reaches out to about 40 feet when it's very dark. It shines further but not bright enough to make out fine details. It's perfectly fine for me to use in the yard at night if I need something from my shed. Bright enough to see around me (I have a large yard) but not so bright that it blinds me when I look at something closer. I've been so pleased with this light that I purchased two more to keep in the cars. My only reservation with you using it for hiking is I assume you wouldn't actually be hiking in complete darkness. Dusk maybe? I don't know how much it would help when there is some ambient light. For use at a campground when it has gone complete dark I think it will be great.

Yes, it would. I purchased it to use at the campground where I work. We use it inside of the cabins and outside on the decks.

it is rather heavy and does not, to me, seem appropriate for tent camping. Plus you would definitely need to cover it completely and keep it totally dry otherwise tent camping would probably ruin it.

No, not for camping BUT works great for my patio. I should inform you that I live in Las Vegas...very different from "the woods."

Yes. It works for a fake tree. We zip tied it on so it would stay. It is plastic but it is not flat. It goes around the star which glows yellow. The motor is louder than I would like but its pretty.

That is a good idea, but this model would not work for that. It would only make it nice and bright for them to see around your area. You would have to buy a model that is beam focus type. I have seen them online and on Amazon. This model is more of a diffused type.

No this light will not be right for that if the goal is only to light the book as this will easily light a cone that extends 10-15 feet in front of you while running/walking/working at night. It's very bright and works to light the area not spot in front of you.

did you actually take it to camping? I want to buy it for the same purpose. How was your experience with it?

This isn't a spot light, but my large palm tree is well lit by the light. But the trunk gets a lot of light.It may end up lighting up your pole and not so much the flag.Hmmm..........With Amazons good return policy, it may be worth a try.
