USB Charging Lantern

Bought two of these for emergency preparedness. Used them recently when the electricity went out for a few hours. They worked great! Love that you can adjust the brightness. The phone charger also works well.

Bought this for our hurricane preparation (we live in NC). We had the chrome one but gave it to our daughter. This Red one (if you shop, you'll see the two) is brighter, and has the USB charging port in case you need to top up your cell phones while power is out at your house. Of course, this lantern can be used for camping, back yard parties, or as a service light in your attic/crawlspace, whatever. It is very nicely made, stable, easy to cycle thru the brightness options. Overall a really nice product, with lots of uses, and in an emergency, this lantern WILL give you lots of light. It uses 6 D cell batteries, so it's not wimpy when it comes to power and duration. If you are serious about having a portable light for such uses...THIS is the one to own.

I bought this for power outages and camping. I love it. Highly recommend!!!

I tested it immediately which I suggest due to other reviews I’ve read. First thing was the USB port. Hooked up my hearing aid charger and it worked fine. The lantern doesn’t need to be lit to use the charger. The bright setting is blinding so if I use it I’ll need a screen of some kind. Maybe put it behind a flower pot? The two lower settings are much easier to work with. Takes 6 D batteries. Install the batteries with the negative end on the little springy part. The battery cover has a little guide slot that will only let it go on one way so makes it easy. Light weight is a plus. Says 200 hours of battery life. We’ll see how it does when I have to use the light and the charger. Over all, recommended.

The first thing you notice when you unpack this lantern is that it is quite light for a full size lantern. It is made almost entirely from plastic. Even after adding six "D" cell batteries to it the weight of it should not be a problem for most people. However, because the product contains so much plastic I would not want to test its durability by dropping it more then a couple of feet. Putting batteries in it or changing them out can be somewhat a tedious exercise until you figure out how to align the bottom of the battery compartment to screw it in to the rest of the lantern. Once you have the batteries in it, this thing can really light up a room. I haven't measured it to see if it really puts out 800 lumens of light on its "high" setting, but it must at least be close to that. The three light settings give you a fairly wide range of light output to choose from but I would still prefer a product that has a switch that give you "dimming" capability for camping use. The USB port to recharge a phone or other devices is a nice feature but it does drain this product's batteries fairly quickly. All in all this is a very nice emergency lantern for around the home but may not be the best choice for camping because of its size, lack of a dimmer switch and somewhat questionable durability.

Works great, charges my phone, lasts all night - perfect for a disaster preparedness kit and power outages. I have now bought four.

The product seems fine, it is what I ordered. I have a huge problem with the delivery service of UPS. Over four days waiting, each day they said lies about my delivery. I am inclined not to use Amazon again if UPS are the carriers. The overall delivery experience was absolutely dreadful!

I bought this one for my daughter when their power went out. She loves it! I already have 2 of my own. I love the brightness of the lamp and the fact that I can charge my phone with it too. Highly recommend!
