Review on 🔦 LE LED Camping Lantern - Battery Powered with 1000LM, 4 Light Modes, Waterproof Tent Light - Perfect Lantern Flashlight for Hurricane, Emergency, Survival Kits, Hiking, Fishing, Home and More by Stanley Molden

Bought this Lighting Ever 1000 Lumen Flashlight and Rayovac Sportsman 240 Lumen SE3DLNACOM LED Flashlight in one order. At the time when I didn't realize the identity of the nature of each lantern, with both lanterns in my hands I could make a side-by-side comparison. This may help someone make a purchasing decision. The Rayovac I bought on this site shows a 240 lumen flashlight, but the one that arrived clearly states 305 lumens. Physically, LE and RW are made almost identical in composition. Both require 3D-size batteries to operate. The LE is only an ounce larger than the RV, but the LE feels and feels more durable and premium. LE and RV are used to describe each light, but remember I'm comparing the Rayovac 305 lumens that came in to what was advertised on the Revain page. The LE output in max mode is 1000 lumens compared to max RV mode. at 305; both daylight above. At the top end, the LE advertises a runtime of 18 hours (10W), versus the RV's 70 hours (4W), the RV wins in terms of runtime. The second LE mode reduces the light output (dimmer) and changes the color temperature to warm white. Although the RV does not have variable color temperature, it does offer the ability to dim down to 140 lumens for the second mode and can run for up to 140 hours. The LE benefits from being able to change the preferred temperature color. 18 hours of LE operation increases to 25 hours in mode 2 (warm white). The third LE mode dims the light even more, bringing warm and daytime temperatures somewhere in the middle. The docs for the LE show that mode 3 only lasts 12 hours, which doesn't make sense why it shortens life as much as possible. The last mode for both (4th LE mode, 3rd RV mode) is blink/strobe. daylight/cool white. I can't say anything about this mode - it doesn't seem relevant to me at the moment. However, the RV has one final feature: a faint green light on the power button that flashes very slowly to help the owner locate it at night. I personally don't like this feature and would either take out the batteries or put a dimmer on top of the light. Buyers may prefer that, it's just that I'm not a fan of powered or non-powered jerk lights. Last I mentioned they are cut from the same shape and both have battery compartments at the base of the flashlight. The LE has a rod installed in the base that must be properly aligned with the slot in the cover to close the battery compartment. The RV has a slit (no shank) at the base edge that aligns with the slit hole in the cap. However, the cover of the LE is still much easier to close when the batteries are in the device. Once the correct alignment is achieved, you need to press down and rotate the base to close it. Imagine you press the cap of a child resistant pill bottle to open it. Do the same with these lanterns. LE base closed after 3 attempts, numerous RV attempts were foiled. When changing the battery, the LE wins. Overall, LE wins by far. I paid about $17.00 for a 15 ounce flashlight with lots of features. A 14-ounce RV was $24, but the Revain site lists a list price of $34, and the buyer got a $10 discount when they bought it. Although the 4 watt RV lasts much longer, 2.9 days or 5.8 days in mode 2, and the 10 watt LE has a run time of 0.75 days or 1 full day in mode 2, I don't use it for hiking. This was purchased for power outages as part of a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan and bright light is just what we need during indoor power outages. The clocks are divided into different times, and 18 hours gives us several days. For the money, the LE inherits the same battery requirements and features. I've never heard of Lighting Ever before, but the product packaging reveals that their home base is in Las Vegas, Nevada, another in the UK, and one in China. Where is this lamp made? It comes with RoHS certification, 1 year warranty and the English manual is the most accurate I've seen in a long time. It's nice to have grammatically correct documents in a box (yes, a real box). RayOVac carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty and is shipped in an unbranded clear plastic bag. The TLC shows on the LE, while the product packaging on the RV is a wrap-around spec label, and although the product presentation was an afterthought. For $24 some protection during shipping wouldn't hurt. Whoever LE is I will buy again if they produce a product as good as this.
