First things first, 15 quid for a bivvy light is exceptional value and this is definitely the cheapest on test, and by some margin. Does this mean a drop in features though? Well, in some areas,this is inevitable, but overall it still represents great value. Innovative in its fold-away design, when closed down it’s a very compact package and I was surprised it wasn’t a little lighter. It also has a torch mode when packed down, which is a nice addition. There is no charging facility, but again at this price can you really expect one? I don’t think so. There are just three white-light modes, none of which is as bright as some others on test but I only tend to use a dim light in my bivvy anyway so this doesn’t bother me particularly. The locking process is simple enough and I like the fact that the on/off button is on the side and not beneath the hanging loop. To be fair to the Glo Bug it isn’t the best on test as a light, but it’s most definitelty the best value-for-money option by a stretch.
