Great so far and very bright

I ordered these based on the good reviews here from verified purchasers, and am not disappointed. I have not had them but for a couple weeks, but my first impressions are very good, so much so that I purchased an additional pair. They came well packaged, and while there is no instructions, you really do not need any to open the bottom, install the three required AA batteries (not included), and you are off and running. As a lantern these are very bright and will work great for my storm shelter…

Pros
  • LED lighting is more energy-efficient than traditional bulb lanterns, so you can use this product for longer without worrying about replacing batteries
Cons
  • The collapsible feature is difficult to use and doesn’t always work

I bought it for the approaching hurricane and fortunately did not need to use. I will have it handy for the next storm. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • This lantern's 350 lumens output is higher than many other lanterns in its price range, making it a great value
Cons
  • Poorly designed battery compartment that’s difficult to open

I got two for my hurricane kit and have since purchased four more to ship to friends and family in Puerto Rico.The dual design worked great during the brief power outage at my house during hurricane Irma (about 12 hours, but I only needed light for about 3 or 4). The flashlight was perfect for moving around the house or when looking for something, especially in the pantry. The lantern is ridiculously bright. Frankly, it does hurt if you look directly into the light.My only wish is that they had

Pros
  • The compact size of this lantern means that it's easy to take it with you on the go, whether you're hiking, camping, or traveling
Cons
  • Not enough lighting modes available for different situations

Very nice little flashlight

I say "little" because it is a little smaller than I expected (though all I had to do was read the dimensions, so that's on me) but it operates very easily and is very bright. Changing it from a hand-held to a ground-sitting light really couldn't be easier. The wide angle lighting from the base is excellent. The ABS body is very light but seems like it will hold up. Only time will tell, but so far, for $11, you can't beat it.

Pros
  • The bright LED lighting makes it easier to navigate in the dark or find what you're looking for in your tent, garage, or car
Cons
  • The switch isn’t responsive and is difficult to turn on/off

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

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

Great option at the right price

The package came with two lanterns, as well as batteries. They are not that big, and easy to carry around. Brighter than I expected, and easy to operate. Very useful for camping trips, night hikes and emergencies. The fact that they are powered by AA batteries is also an advantage. Some rechargeables might be more powerful, but for anyone doing camping or hikes, AA batteries as a source of power are every useful. The only downside is that the beam cannot be narrowed or widened when projecting…

Pros
  • The sleek design of this lantern adds style to any outdoor gathering or workshop
Cons
  • Not enough material variety used to make this product

Bright lanterns for my opinion

I have 2 of these lanterns. We used one when we went camping. They were so bright that we had to put it under the picnic table when we were sitting by the campfire. We recently had a power outage for 15 hours. I put one in the family room on our fireplace in front of a mirror and the other one in our dining room. There was plenty of light. I liked them so much that I bought 4 more sets to give as Christmas gifts for family. I changed the batteries that came with them but they last a fairly…

Pros
  • The perfect combination of a lantern and flashlight for a versatile outdoor lighting solution
Cons
  • The LED bulbs are so weak that they can’t light up dim areas

Among My Best Purchases of 2018

I'm totally loving your super-nifty little HeroBeams. I came in search of a super-purpose flashlight and couldn't believe my eyes when I caught glimpse of your lantern/flashlight package. They looked stylish and promised to be multi-purposeful. Not wholly believing the hype I purchased them anyway. And Baada Bing Baada Boom!, when they arrived, they were still not only as cute as hell, but ALSO lived up to very promise made in the Revain ad. I cannot know just how well they will hold up during…

Pros
  • ‎5 years on electronic failure (excepting due to damage).
Cons
  • Cracks in the plastic can easily form and make it difficult to use

Compact and easy to use

Love this productI highly recommend it.Notice… there are TWO.We didn’t notice that when we read the description, so we were pleasantly surprised.

Pros
  • The waterproof design ensures that this lantern can be used in any weather conditions, whether it's raining or snowing outside
Cons
  • It’s difficult to hold and maneuver while using

I wish I knew these lights were so teeny, But they are bright

I guess I didn't read it through. I had no idea there would be 2. And i did not know they would be really small. I also didn't know they would come with there own batteries lol. But they do work. They are really bright. I just wish there was a picture indicating how small it was. And I wish the title mentioned that you get 2 of them. To me V2 means like version 2.

Pros
  • Safety & Security
Cons
  • Poor customer service if you have any issues with the product

Pretty good, but the flashlight part could be brighter

I like these a lot. Since moving to a house that has powerlines above-ground, my power goes out several times per year, so I needed more than just candles. These lanterns are great for smaller spaces or areas, but when I go outside at night to check on my ducks, I wish the flashlight feature was brighter.

Pros
  • I bought several given the increase in storms. Thanks
Cons
  • The LED light is too dim and lacks brightness

Great Lamp/Lanterns!

When the power went out in Texas during the recent winter storm, 30+ people froze to death in their homes. I decided then and there to start prepping and lighting was a big issue. I ordered these lamps for my lighting prep box, but wound up loving them so much, I use them every day. I take them on walks with the dog, I use the lantern setting when I sit out and watch the sun go down in the garden.They're definitely going to come in handy on campouts and during weather emergencies or power…

Pros
  • The collapsible design is incredibly convenient for those who are tight on space or need to pack efficiently for a camping trip
Cons
  • The battery compartment is prone to be loose and can fall out easily
