A light in the wilderness!
I was looking for an emergency light that was inexpensive, rugged, efficient and battery powered. No open flame flammable fuel powered device would do.

Just received this product so I will defer commenting on battery life until later. Overall I have been very pleased and surprised with this product. First off, this lantern is fairly compact…I was under the impression that this would be larger from the pictures but once I opened it up, I was pleasingly surprised. The unit is very compact and feels very sturdy. There is rubber on the base and around the lower portion of the lantern, the switch is very easy to operate and has 3-modes (High, Low, and Strobe). The entire top/globe can be unscrewed and hung upside down (clip in the base) to use as a room or tent light in “bare bulb” mode. Overall I have been very impressed with the output of this lantern as well. This is a very bright lantern for it’s compact size; outshining normal 4D fluorescent U-tubed lanterns and a coleman pack-away LED lantern. The diffuser is also very pleasing with no rings, lines, or shadows to speak of. In bare bulb mode, the light is almost too bright for your eyes but works well if it’s hung high overhead (so you’re not looking directly at the unit). Low mode is also very useful and brighter than your typical “nightlight” levels in other LED lanterns “low” modes. Overall I am very impressed with this product and plan to purchase more of these units for use while night fishing, camping, and to use during power failures.

Very impressive – Quality construction
Don’t let the size fool you! This lantern has no problem lighting a 20 x 20 room! Purchased for a camping trip.

Well built and bright lantern
After reading all the positive reviews for this lantern, I decided to buy one for my first camping trip.

Basically in agreement with the positive reviews, with a few quibbles. (1)Changing the batteries is a clumsy operation. The base twists off to load the batteries. Putting back the base however requires a tricky alignment of the contacts. The base has two sections. The section with the contacts rotate freely about the section that you grip. Maybe I’m just clumsy, took me six tries. (2)Overall rugged materials and construction, with the exception of the tent hook. Cheap plastic, probably would break if dropped. Folds flat into the base. But held in place only by friction fit. If you use it enough, it will probably wear and no longer stay folded in place. If you don’t fold and unfold the hook often, not a problem. (3)Even when the power is off, one LED flashes every couple of seconds (like a smoke detector). This is a “finder beacon” to allow you to locate the lantern in a dark tent or room. I keep it around for emergencies. I don’t know whether this causes any significant drain on the battery. When I have time, I’ll check with the manufacturer. Still, it’s one of the few units that run on a few (3)D-Cells. Many run on AA cells or then jump to 8-D-Cells. AA cells don’t last as long, of course, but 8 D-Cells by themselves weigh a ton. Good unit for the price. Another example of Amazon’s quirky pricing,though. Seems to vary from $26 – $30 on a daily basis. Still, Amazon’s shipping and customer service is amazing.

Very bright little lantern
The lantern appears to be well constructed and gives off a very bright light. Use it mainly when we loose power which is all to often in Northern California

This lantern rocks!
Just used this lantern for a three night Cub Scout camping trip. Extremely bright and worked great.

This has to be the best LED Lantern I have seen. The 3D batteries last a long time and the Lantern outputs allot of light. Well worth the price.

great lantern
I got this to do away with my propane lantern. I always find my coleman propane to be too bright, hot and bug attracting.

Compact and bright.
This lantern is extremely bright and yet in a very compact size. I used it with rechargeable batteries so using normal batteries it would be even brighter.

Best LED lantern yet!
This will make an excellent emergency light or camping lantern. It is very bright. You will not be able to read by it unless very close.

Very Happy
After a great deal of research on LED Lanterns I bought this lantern. I am very happy with it’s abilities and find it very bright for an LED, one of if not the brightest LED…
