Some reviews are saying that they have to power set to max and still have a hard time getting light to bounce. Is there a way around that?

It does not automatically compensate for this, but the settings allow you to correct it quickly. So, you have the gain set to the highest level (in order to gather in the most light), a bright light can be too much.

Try holding the power button for a couple of seconds. The light cycles they 3 light settings.

No, not unless there is a way to do it that I have not figured out. Every time the lights come on they are in strobe mode, which I have found to be the only complaint I have with them.I will try to find the materials that came with the bulbs and If I learn differently, I will report back.

Take the top off. On the bottom of the top tere is a little plastic strip that needs to pulled out. This makes the light work. I don't think the instructions really tell you that. The lights are off during the day and as soon as it starts getting dark...they will work. If I can be of any further assistance let me know. Gook Luck. CA

It just seems like it doesn't light up the whole page unless you keep adjusting it. Lights up the top then you adjust it to light the bottom.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Hi! Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Wagan. I have two and have not had any problems with them, so far. Be sure that the light has been charged completely. No less than 8 hours and no more than 10 hours. Over charging or under charging can cause problems with performance. If that doesn,t resolve the issue you are having, you may want to contact Wagan Corporation at... (customerservice@wagan.com) or toll free in the U.S. & Canada (1.800.231.5806) I hope you can get the problem fixed without a hassle. I really like these spotlight lanterns. They were great to have when our power went out for thirteen hours after a tornado went through and knocked down power lines. Have a Great Day! V. Zink

Needs electricity! I was irritated about that. For no power try mr beams spotlight. I bought a few of those as well from here.

Doesn't give off any glare at my 60 watts. But this is a bounce light meant to light by bouncing light off the ceiling (mostly) and it calls for some more serious wattage to light a room.

There doesn't appear to be any way to control the Hypnotic Light Cube brightness. However, the brightness isn't an issue for me.

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)

Yup, press and hold the direction you want to dim (ie. press and hold the top button to slowly bring lights up, then press and hold the bottom button to dim.) when at the desired level, let go. Then go see a doctor about your, um, issue

Yes you can, by pressing the power button and maintaining the hold it will dim up and down.

I'd be careful. We are returning ours to Amazon. In an office environment with the overhead flouro lights, no way. Just too dim.The picture is crisp, the colors not bad (not great either), but unusable lumens. Even if you turn off the lights, its still too dim to go through a half hour presentation without fatique on my eyes. I even changed the power savings to minimal, which helped, but still not good enough. Also tweaked contrast and brightness, to no avail.

Tried to use it in low lighting outside recently and could not figure out how to get light (helps to read the manual ahead of time!). Later figured out that there is a low lux setting, which I have learned how to use...simple change in settings....but haven't tried it out yet.

I didn't understand that either. I hear you can adjust it if you put it into retail mode, but I haven't bothered to do so. Increasing the brightness any takes more energy and shortens the life of the TV anyway.
