Dependable - my new review

I have the battery-powered version of this lantern and it's amazing. It's easy to operate, gives off very bright light - I use t all the time. It just made sense to get the version that was solar powered and hand-cranked.

Pros
  • Working really well!
Cons
  • The lantern may not be waterproof, limiting its usefulness in wet conditions

Smaller than it looks but pretty bright

Actual size seems smaller than the picture let's on but it is bright! They're perfect for the young campers in my family.

Pros
  • Lantern Flashlight with 2 Lighting Modes
Cons
  • The solar panel may be difficult to clean or maintain, decreasing its longevity

The handle at the bottom where you spin to get energy broke and it's the 2nd time I use them. Made really cheap and poor The lantern may not come with a warranty or customer support, leaving you stranded if something goes wrong.

Pros
  • A Must Have Survival Kit For Emergency
Cons
  • The lantern may not come with a warranty or customer support, leaving you stranded if something goes wrong

Great light, not the best charger

The light is super bright and convenient. It definitely stayed lit for the 2 nights we went camping. I was able to partially charge my phone. The hand crank works, but it's not the most comfortable grip, and you have to crank it forever, but if you just need light and not a charge it works. The solar charger works alright considering it was raining and overcast the entire weekend. Overall it works best as a light but not the best charger.

Pros
  • Bought as a gift for my sister. She is very pleased with this product.
Cons
  • Returned this as it didn’t hold a charge.

Worked as advertised.

After fully charging the lantern it lasted a very bright 30 hours. After that it got slowly dimmer until I turned it off around 36 hours. It was still glowing enough to see a little in a dark room but was much dimmer. Someone commented it had no lock and would open in a back pack. I just put a strong rubber band around where the handle folds down and there you go.

Pros
  • Great value and product. Super light weight and works like a charm.
Cons
  • The USB charger may not fit all types of devices, limiting its usefulness

Great little lantern

We bought this to supplement light in our house at night while our solar isn't working. The first night it was dead by 6:30 in the morning. I don't think I charged it long enough.Now I leave it plugged in most of the day. We use it for a couple hours at night, turn it off, then turn back on the next morning. It doesn't dim and seems to run without dimming. I have charged it in the sun but as the description says the charge isn't very long with constant use. We have a solar power system for our…

Pros
  • As be advertised, buI to felt a be shade would be be agreat addition.
Cons
  • too fragile; stoped to work at same day

AC DC Adapter Not Included

The description on Revain says there are three ways to recharge the lantern - sun, crank and USB adapter. The description says the adapter is included. However, an adapter did not come with the item. Also, the instructions say the adapter (5V-2A) for AC outlet charging must be purchased separately and is recommended.

Pros
  • High Brightness & Long Play Time
Cons
  • The lantern may not be very energy efficient in colder temperatures, requiring frequent charging
