It’s a good deal, and I don’t say that often about gadgets like this.The Compact LED Camping Lantern offers 360 degrees of white light using 3x COB 2 watt LEDs that offer a maximum of 350 lumens at full brightness. ![]() Instead of dwelling on that, maybe focus back on the lamp first. Or maybe people like their rooms awash in red light in the evenings. I suppose that’s a feature if you’re using it as intended as a camping lantern. NOTE: There is an “Emergency” setting with a solid or flashing red light and a ridiculously-bright white light in that mode (I think I could see through my hand while shielding my eyes) and I can only hope I never need it since I’m not sure how to access it again. I realize being on top would cut out much of the purpose of its room-lighting capabilities because of design, but I have to keep it in the exact same position on the nightstand so that if I reach for it in the dark, I’ll know where the button is by touch.īottom line is it’s well worth the $20 or so it was selling for the day I started looking into it and I’m seriously considering at least one more to have downstairs too. If I were to have one wish regarding this lamp, it would be the I/0 button. I still haven’t recharged it and it’s been over a month, I think. And the battery seems to hold a charge longer than average. The light is bright enough to light up a large 20x30 room enough to eat or even read by - and that’s with one or two brighter settings. But as I started using the different brightness settings, I realized I had just found the perfect hurricane or other power-killing storms we get. I needed a quick-access light near the bed to use instead of bypassing the programmed lamps. Powerful, very handy and easy to use, with a great design that kicks the versatility up another level. But then it also has 4 little magnets that are strong enough to stick on most metal objects - a tent pole, pack or chair frame, car, anything magnetic. ![]() Open the other one and now that closes the gap to form a loop that can hang on a hook, the edge of a pole, a little stump of a branch, etc. Open one and you can hang it on a line or a tent pole. 2 hooks are recessed into the base, but they are offset with the opening in opposite directions. The flat surface lets it sit easily on any level surface, but it has just enough weight to it that you can set it on all sorts of angled or rough surfaces without it falling over. Small and comfortable to hold in the hand. Everything has been very well thought out. What I love most about this light is the design. As far as battery life, I have not had the opportunity to run it for an extended period of time, but I’ll update my review when I do. The higher settings are very very bright, enough for anything you need. ![]() The lower light settings are very easy on the eyes and mellow, but still enough light to work, play, or even read by. You have to long press on the button to start or stop it, so that should prevent the light from turning on accidentally (if you have it stuffed in a pack or a travel bag). Very powerful and so versatile it has 7 modes (5 levels of white light brightness, a red, and a blinking red). This is just a brilliantly designed little light.
