Emerson should be embarrassed. Have you ever bought a product where you wondered "did anyone at this company even try using it?" It's hard to believe that this waste of a battery holder was ever tested by anyone. It is worthless. The nightlight that we use in our bathroom is about 10 times brighter. I cannot think of any useful purpose for this 'lantern', so for the first time ever (as a long-time Amazon customer) I have decided to return it. The really good news - Amazon's return policy is top-notch so off it goes, shipping costs picked up by Amazon. If you buy this in spite of what I've written, don't say you weren't warned!

I received this lantern as a gift. Having inserted the batteries I switched on the light and turned up the brightness using the dimmer control. On first inspection everything looked good and bright. Then I noticed one of the 12 LEDs was not working. Then I noticed another had turned a dark orange color and was filling the central chamber with fine smoke. In all four LEDs had burnt out on maximum brightness on this first test. Maybe I was unlucky but I feel this product is of poor design and quality. Please take my advice and avoid.

My son got this for Christmas. It broke after a few hours. The battery compartment crashed through the thin plastic bottom!! I don't know whether to laugh or get frustrated. The other big problem is that the plastic is really really bad smelling, and gives me a headache. Do yourself a favor and do *not* buy this piece of garbage.
