Review on High Lumen 8 Modes Super Bright Dimmable Waterproof LED Camping Lantern Flashlight - Portable Tents Latern For Camping, Emergency & Outdoor Hurricane Use by Dennis Black

With double the battery life this would easily get five stars from me. I like having the flashlight mode even though it is primarily a lantern. The flashing red strobe pattern is a nice bonus I hope to never use. In lantern mode it only lasts for 2 to 2.5 hours. I have to remember it was $8 not $30 like some other options, so I'm still happy with it overall. One thing to note is that the option to control the brightness is just closing the lid not dimming the light, so it still burns the battery at the same rate.One perfect application of this lantern is for kids. You don't have to be worried about them wasting batteries. At $8 each can have his/her own and go wild.
