This is one very bright light, it lit up my entire house when the lights were off (one level). It’s easy to use and put together. That being said, I don’t think this light can truly be seen up to 2 miles away. Yes it light up our home, but unless it was pitch black and not a single light to be found in 2 miles, then maybe yet, but living in the city, that’s unlikely! Overall satisfied with the light and it will be great use for the days we end up with a power outage or when we need some extra light
