Lichamp LED Camping Lantern, 4 Pack Battery Powered Flashlight for Power Outages, Portable Collapsible Hanging Light Essential for Home, Outdoor, Emergency Lamp Survival Kit Gear for Hurricane, Gray

I initially purchased these lanterns as part of my hurricane preparedness kit, but they've proven to be incredibly versatile and useful in various situations.**Compact and Handy:** These lanterns are about the height of a standard iPhone, making them compact enough to easily pack and carry. The design is intuitive—just pull up on the metal handle and the lantern lights up, which is a great feature for quick and easy use.**Simple Battery Installation:** Installing the batteries is a breeze. Simply twist the bottom of the lantern to insert or replace batteries.**Brightness and Illumination:** While these lanterns won't light up an entire forest, they are definitely bright enough for small to medium spaces. For example, they provide excellent illumination in a bathroom with the door closed and the lights off. They are perfect for power outages, camping trips, or evening fishing adventures.**Attractive Design:** The pack of four comes in a lovely fuchsia color, exactly as shown in the picture. The color adds a nice touch and makes the lanterns easy to spot in a bag or storage area.Overall, I'm extremely pleased with these Lichamp LED Camping Lanterns. Whether you're preparing for a power outage or planning a night fishing trip, they are a reliable and handy addition to your gear.

The media could not be loaded. Executive summary first. These lanterns are compact, lightweight and very, very bright. I was able to get the batteries (not included) in them very quickly and all lanterns delivered worked without issue. I am very happy with my purchase.Details. I ordered these lights as I was looking for unobtrusive compact lights to use in power outage situations. I ordered these particular lights because they rated themselves with more lumens than similar such lanterns. Now I've learned you can take seller lumen ratings with a grain of salt over the years, but I can attest that these lights really deliver on brightness. The 3 required AA batteries are easy to install, all lanterns lit up uneventfully and all were equally very bright. Even with the 3 AA batteries, these lanterns are lightweight meaning there would be little problem in carrying one in your backpack. I like these lights because their compactness allow me to place it pretty unobtrusively next to a lamp to have a bright substitute light source available in the case of a rare power outage.So pros: works uneventfully, batteries go in easily, lightweight and very bright.Cons: To be honest I find the light a bit harsh and cooler in color than I like. Based on the fact it is powered only by 3 AA batteries I'm expecting to last only a few hours on a fresh set of batteries (manufacturer says 6-8 hours). Also a con I think is that you control the intensity of the light by lowering it or raising it in its casing thus hiding or revealing how much of the light is exposed. That means the light is always consuming full battery power if you use it even if you lower it to reduce intensity. So intensity settings would have been better but that is not a major drawback by any means.I attach a video showing me install batteries and giving a brief demo of the lantern. Now I ordered 3 different types of lanterns at the same time so please click on my profile and see my other reviews. I would have liked to have submitted a video comparing the features but Amazon only allows uploading one video per review. As I said, this one is given a 5 star rating because of its compactness, light weight, unobtrusiveness and brightness. Having said that, I need to point out among the 3 different types of lanterns I ordered, it lasts the least amount of time before having to change batteries and has the harshest light. So please click on my profile and see a review of all the lanterns I recently purchased as they all have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to one another. Nonetheless, I am very happy with this purchase.

I have not owned many lanterns but I'm very big into flashlights in general. Though I do prefer a lantern that takes AA's along with 18650 housing so I can have dual battery capabilities, this lantern definitely fit the bill in every other category. I will still be on the market searching for what I am looking for when it comes to 18 6 50 battery capability. But when it comes to a lantern that only takes AA, low cost, and simple at best this lantern does very well. It is lightweight, it is easy to carry and compact like most retractable lanterns. I'm assuming the bulb in this is a Cobb bulb it is extremely bright and it looks like one that I've seen before. You do also have a small compartment up top that locks into place "lefty loosey righty tighty". The metal handles do tend to wabble around a little bit but for the money I think it's very hard to come by something that is better. Construction seems to be very generic and standard And it's not gonna fall apart in your hand but I would definitely not recommend dropping it too hard but it seems like it could handle a basic fall. I am very impressed with this product and I will be purchasing another set soon. So if you're looking for a good quality for a good price lantern that just has a great light distribution; get this product. I am sure you will be happy. Anyone is looking for a good battery life with any standard lantern I personally have had great experience after testing with specifically the Energizer max AA battery.

Yep. It took me a minute to figure out that you turn it on by taking the handles and pull the top up. It comes right on. Really bright. Have a ton of AA batteries. And 1 out of the 4 were defective. Like all the other reviews. Once I learned how to turn it on and that one wasn’t going to work - the other 3 were great. What’s up this business of you really only are getting 3. A few days after I got these in the mail, I had a power outage and I was glad I had them. So, 4 out of 5.

I love these. With four smaller ones it allows me to create a more encompassing light source then one big one. Easy to move if needed and light enough to carry with for a quick bathroom in the middle of the night. Or creat some good mood lighting around the camp site! Wish they were rechargeable instead of running on batteries but still feel is a good value. The fast they don’t take up much space is a plus as well.
