By Michael

Editor's Rating:

This solar power + battery + LED light combo might just be the future of portable light and power. Built by adventurers, for adventurers, the REVEL LIGHT and Night Owl Solar Pack are a modern camping essential. You can setup and teardown 30ft of lights in mere seconds, you can dim the lights to set up the perfect mood lighting, start a fire with the built in flint, and power your devices from the sun (even at night!). Plus, this product enables you to send renewable energy and light to a student in Africa. Take your camping, backpacking, and travels to the next level with REVEL GEAR’s newest product.

Disappointed to hear that the delivery has been further delayed. Next year I will be in India, is there any issues in delivering there?

Review from Kickstarter

Your total lack of communication over the months since your last update after repeated requests is contemptuous. Your brazen marketing at numerous trade shows where time should have been spent on production and communication with backers is without doubt contentious. In my opinion your have disregarded this platform on too numerous an occasion. I have seen many a project fall behind schedule for many reasons but the fact that you have remained distant from the very people that made your dream a reality shows nothing more than how people change with regard to the passion and the responsibility that they trade in for the want to ring the cash register further down the line and for all of the above you should be jolly well ashamed of yourselves. If this project does finally ship to the generous family of loyal Kickstarter backers please send my pledge to charity. I want nothing more to do with your company.

Spot on Kissel I feel like this company is being run by Trump. We’ve all been had by the shiny object. My 2cents

Just to say that I'm a backer of revel gear, and proud of that, but I'm also puertorican and I live in the island. Even if my personal situation isn't hard, I cannot deny how it is for other and I wanted to say thank you for your help and for giving a hand to those in need.

Now your telling us that we have to wait another 6 months a whole year past the original delivery date. In your original Kickstarter campaign you stated the the final design was ready to go and needed a few tweaks, that appears to be anything but the case now. Yes a lot of people including myself are pissed about the total lack on communication last update was the beginning of July and from your update it appears the only progress has been marketing of your company going to trade show building booths and I that time you have posted multiple posts on twitter marketing your company put the people whom invested 100K in your idea can’t get a peep? Also besides sowing a few dark photos of a spool of leds that’s all the product development info we get after 90 days I am sorry the that is just pitifully I am going to just personally write this project as another failed Kickstarter that I threw my money away on. I don’t know how you think managing this project how it’s been going is anyway acceptable I work for a manufacturing company if we conducted business like this and treated our customers like this we would be out of business. Everyone keeps complaining about this issues over and over and every update you keep saying we are sorry we will improve communication and instead of it improving it just keeps getting worse.

Failed project. Take the loss and issue refunds already. Quit hiding and respond to us.

Aaron Tatum

Review from Kickstarter

Nah, they're working hard on it. In fact, so hard that they don't even have time to log into kickstarter and type up a couple of sentences every now and then to keep the people that gave them over $100k to start their company in the loop. Just wait, this is gonna be HUGE!!!!

WORST. COMMUNICATION. EVER!

Matt Gillespie

Review from Kickstarter

An update would awesome right about now... even if it's a quick two sentence note to say we are still working on it... I think the lack of communication is what's causing so much anger here. People like to see communication, whether it's a big update or just a simple note to say, Hey thanks for backing again... we are still working on getting this product together. Thanks.

Can you ask my emails!! I have sent you so many and you just refused to reply me. Claimed some redemption free gift and want me to pay for shipment. Pay and only sent that (redemption) within 2 wks. My main order just refuse to send to me.... even so many verification and answering.

Review from Kickstarter

Hi, creator I don't think all backer needed an update very frequently, I believe most of the backers are will to support any innovative project, I do think you guys have responsibility to tell us what is going on now and what you have planned the items to achieve, we are not asking you send us the package today, but needed to be honest. The funniest thing is you tell us you guys have a bright idea, a mission, a trip, a meeting etc., but missed the most important thing: Why we backed your project? where is the progress of the product you have innovated? Please! But, these 5 months, I'm just saw few 3D picture of it, some not related photo and send us a gift code (this is what I am pissed off, you have time to send us a gift, but no time to tell us the progress, and delayed 5 months but no actual things on hand, not even a prototype) I am calm, don't get me wrong. Please focus on the project. (Hope that you guys still remember what you have promise when your project not yet funded.) I really hoping that I can use it with my wife and my baby girl when we go camping. (I backed your project, because I was imagined I use your product with my new born baby girl, but she was 1 yr old now)

Review from Kickstarter

@Aaron, we're working hard on it. You will have a better understanding in the update we're working on.
@Leonus, we've responded to your email and sent DM.
@Sean, definitely not. If this were easy, everyone would be doing it. We will try to be better about updating more frequently, but it's hard when things are moving at the speed of light.

Dear Creator, Thanks for contacting me personally regarding to my issues.
I really appreciate that.

Rob Baker

Review from Kickstarter

@RevelGear, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can you just give us a realistic date of when you think the product we all backed will be ready? It feels like you talk about so much other stuff other than the product we are all waiting for! You are holding a lot of people's money!

Review from Kickstarter

Another quick comment for our International supporters: We are very sorry for anyone who had to pay an import duty or tax on the free gift! This was definitely not our intention, and we did everything in our power to make sure no one was getting stuck with these additional fees. All international shipments were marked as "gifts", (since they were a gift) so you should not have been assessed any fees. The majority of the international orders did not have to pay these duties, taxes, or fees, however we know that a number of you did get get stuck with ridiculously high fees on this. We are speaking with our international shipping provider to figure out why this is, not only for the gift, but so we know when it's time for fulfillment on the campaign. We will do everything in our power to get this figured out and make it right. Thank you for understanding; this was our first time sending so many products internationally, and we recently started using a new international logistics company so everyone could track their shipments internationally. We are working with our provider to figure out why some people were charged, while others were not.

Hi All, there will be an update coming soon. We have been juggling a lot of balls and have a lot to share. Thanks for bearing with us.

Aaron Tatum

Review from Kickstarter

Yeah. Not even a comment from @RevelGear in nearly two months? That's completely unacceptable.

John Krause

Review from Kickstarter

It's really time for an update. Even if it's too say, "There's nothing to say." Just to let everyone know your still here. JMO

Douglas Campbell

Review from Kickstarter

After receiving the lights, we enjoyed using them, and now fully understand why you came up with the idea you have and can see the issues in making the lights themselves capable of being reeled as well as a suitable reeler, however there are things that exist on the market that would allow you to modify and adjust as required to suit what your trying to do, looking forward to reviving them now as the free lights however crude worked out really well, I second some of the issue regarding kinks and unravelling on the coils but the new lights should over come this issue completely.

Tony Ly

Review from Kickstarter

Almost a year since this project funded. What's the status?

Miguel Angel Moreno

Review from Kickstarter

Aun no recibo mi pedido...que sucede? He esperado por mucho tiempo y no se nada del articulo!
Por favor díganme que debo hacer.

Aaron Tatum

Review from Kickstarter

Whatever happened to the updated shipping time frame estimate that we were supposed to get by the end of spring? I've lost all faith at this point. I guess I'll have to look into taking action with Kickstarter.

Ahmed Bageel

Review from Kickstarter

What is the process for the returning with knowing that I haven't receive my order yet?

Darren P

Review from Kickstarter

Got my free light last week, and it works well. Didn't like the kinks that developed when rolling and unrolling so I 3d printed a spool. Works much better now and no more kinks in the wires.

Update please. I know projects can be difficult to organize. However projects with technology much more advanced than this have kept regular updates. Please communicate.
