Eveready LED Camping Lantern, Bright Battery Powered Lantern, Water Resistant Hurricane Supplies, 100 Hour Run-time, Pack of 1

These little lights are perfect for emergencies, just make sure you have some batteries stored with them. I like that you can put only 2 batteries in, or four, and there is a raised diagram in the battery compartment indicating how to put them in if you're only using 2. The light is not blinding, but diffused nicely through the white plastic. They are super lightweight and would be great to use in a backpack for camping. No need to have a charger, just keeps some batteries handy. They are sturdy and because of the shape won't topple over. I put them in a container that I store where I have to go during tornados, so I'll have light readily available. The button is easy to use to turn it on and off. I'm definitely going to buy more and put one in the car in case of emergency. Their compact size makes them easy to add to any bugout or emergency bag.

I bought these a few months ago after a power outage in our schools. We had another huge storm come through and knock the power out, and these really worked out great! I have three school kitchen with zero windows, these lanterns, were bright, lightweight, easy to hold on to, and they stand up without falling over. For the price, these are great! OH and they come with the batteries! No fumbling in the dark looking for batteries!

Lightweight, gives plenty of light. Great for when the power goes out.

FIRST i never write reviews - maybe just a couple over decades, but the frustration with simple easy to fix things like providing INFORMATION on features or stopping the super cheap plastic tab battery covers just never being designed better felt like speaking my mind a bit. Us being in hurricane area we have lots of lights for power outages - the most recent ones we have been using are the pop up LED type lantern all over amazon uses 3AA good light, screw on bottoms (so seem could take a drop ok) but very harsh LED bare light which i find hard on the eyes especially in long use, so ordered these Eveready ones due to the soft white "glass" and yes the light is nice and soft white and in a closed of pitch black room the light output seems identical to the pop up LED using 3 AA batteries. Confusingly these can use 2 or 4 AA batteries but NO EXPLANATION of the difference and the light output using 2 and 4 is identical?!? i even put 2 in one and 4 in the other and its the same side by side? maybe 4 lasts longer? no idea - no info given. when purchasing i had thought maybe 2AA was low light, 4AA was brighter light and maybe the push button on switch would cycle between OFF, LOW, HIGH but nope its just on or off. it's a light weight lantern easy handles for big or small hands, and the light is soft so i will use these around the areas where they will stay on a long time and less eye strain from the soft light. the bad - the bottom where you put the batteries is the very old style square with two small tabs on one side and the little plastic bent over tab that after so many pushes in the plastic always fatigues and breaks off then you have to duct tape the battery cover on (bad) or it looks like even with a very small drop the tabs or the plastic push tab will break off and then you have NO battery cover (worse) so that's a bummer as i can see these getting banged around or dropped if used by smaller kids and without a battery cover they kinda become near useless to me. the pop up style lanterns have a screw on bottom cover that while not expedition ready seems should handle bumps and drops better and not break off leaving batteries exposed or falling out etc... overall i love the soft light and smooth handles so that's a plus but the battery cover is below expectations a negative - the 2AA or 4AA feature, well i have no idea what the point is but the light output is the same so i guess we will just use them with 2AA unless there is info on the difference. i'd give 3.5 Stars but it is basically 3 or 4 depending on how you view the pros and cons.

Awesome deal and bright light. Uses either AA or AAA either , great idea.much brighter than I expected.

Only come with one light setting. On/Off. It is very bright considering it works with just two batteries when there's four battery slots. I think it's great and it's lightweight.

So bright. Easy to install batteries. Light weight. Perfect for my needs!

I live in a rural community that has the worst Electricity provider in the state. Rain and mild wind gusts of 5 mph can and do cause power outages that can last 12 hrs. I bought one of these lanterns last week and liked it so much I bought 2 more. Battery operated makes more sense than USB rechargeable lanterns. Ive yet to find a rechargeable one that holds a decent charge that'll last more than 6-8 hours. You can make these lanterns give light with only 2 batteries, which is an unexpected but welcome option.I will update after next power outage.Major power outage in Alabama March 15th & 16th. 2 lamps lit most of my 16 x 18 room. The light isn't great for reading, it throws too many shadows but its great for illuminating a room. Still a 10/10.
