5.0 out of 5 stars First LED lanterns I picked up, September 27, 2005

While I can't comment on all LED lanterns, this one does the job great. On the 1/2 setting I can still read in the same room with the lantern about 5 feet away. At the 30 LED setting it lights up most of my 1 bedroom apartment. We could read on the couch (not ideal, but possible) with the lantern in our bedroom adjacent to the room.

Last year we dealt with table lanterns that took the same amount of D batteries that you had to be sitting next to them to read. Plus the batteries died overnight.

The cases are great on these, complete with storage for the 4 D batteries.

I bought two, along with a Coleman Grill/Stove. I am in S. Florida, hurricane central.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Lantern I've Found, September 8, 2005

I've tried several lanterns and like this one the best. It is one of the smallest ones available, yet it is long-lasting and takes only 4 batteries, rather than the 8 that other long-lasting lanterns use. I compared this to one that takes 8 batteries, is bigger and heavier, uses flourescent bulbs and doesn't last as many days. This lit up the room just as much. Perfect for Florida.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical, effective, and useful, August 10, 2005

This lantern really does work. While it does not produce the

brilliant white light of a kerosene pressure lantern

it does produce a white light by which you can read and write. I have used two for over a month both running 10 to 12 hours a night i.e. 300 plus hours on the low setting and have yet to change the batteries. In addition they are essentially heat free. Living in the tropics and not having to sit next to

hundreds of degrees of blazing hot lantern is cool and comfortable. I previously read a review saying these are weak

and dim. It is true this is not a hundred watt lamp, but it is brighter than a dietz type hurricane lantern. The critisism that there are light and dark areas in the surrounding light is also true but this can be avoided by a simple change at manufacture. LED "bulbs" are made with a curved dome tip that "focuses" the light directionally. If the tips are ground and polished flat each little LED then functions like a mini flood light and would

resolve this issue. For those people in the third world dependant upon kerosene lanterns this lantern is a practical

alternative. The injuries death and destruction caused by fires caused by kerosene lanterns alone make this lantern worth it for safety alone. With rural kerosene prices reaching 3,4, $5.00 a gallon its long opperation time per set of batteries make it cost effective as well. Paired with solar rechargeable batteries it becomes a total winner.
