Review on 2020 Tech LED Lantern And Flashlight Combo With 350 Lumens - Ideal For Camping, Car, And Garage - Collapsible And Batteries Included by Samuel Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright, 2 suggestions for improvement. 4/2018 Update: 3rd suggestion for improvement

These are extremely bright, and they feel fairly durable. I gave it 5 stars, but here's 2 improvements I'd suggest:1.) The battery compartment screw-in cap is really easy to get cross threaded and seems harder than it should be to screw back on. Not sure how or why. This is a minor complaint as it only comes up when you're adding or removing batteries.2.) It really could use a dimmer option, or like a half-power or something. It's exceedingly bright to the point where I can promise you now that if I'm camping in a tent with my wife and I need to turn it on to see something while she's sleeping, it'll wake her up and make her VERY cranky. It could use a night-light mode or something.April 2017 Update: I had a power outage recently and ended up using this for light. It worked OK. It generates a heck of a lot of light, but it's not diffused at all really so it doesn't light up the room all that much, just kind of lights up your eyeballs. I made a diffuser/lampshade type thing out of some paper and that helped a lot. I would strongly suggest a diffuser of some sort (like maybe a slide up/down frosted plastic) to diffuse the LED light which is very non-diffuse on its own. It's not exactly a knock against the product, so I'm not removing a star or anything, but I know if I take these on a camping trip or something I'm going to try to remember to bring something to diffuse it a bit.

Pros
  • The solid-state construction of the lantern means that it is not easily damaged, making it a great investment for frequent campers and travelers
Cons
  • The weight distribution is off, making it difficult to carry
