Excellent lighting for emergency power outages.

After a friend just a few blocks away from me suffered through a black out for several hours, I realized how ill-prepared I was to endure the same. Candle light is great for ambiance but not what I want to count on to illuminate my house in an emergency. After reading the reviews and even watching an on-line video review that I found on youtube - I was sold and purchased three (2) packs for my home.Here's a link to the review... [...]I love how these lanterns run on (3) AA batteries; unlike a lot of other lanterns that take larger batteries. AA batteries are economical and I always have some on hand; whereas, I haven't stocked D batteries since the days of the OG "Boombox". These lanterns are incredibly BRIGHT and ultra lightweight. They easily light up an entire room. I really like their portability and how they automatically shut off when they are "collapsed". This is a convenient feature as it allows you to easily shut the lantern off with just one hand.These little lanterns are awesome and the price for a pair of these is almost too good to be true. But believe it, this is a quality product in my opinion. I plan on buying several more as Christmas gifts to help family and friends be better prepared in an emergency.

Lanterns are bright. They look small, but when you pull up the handles, they get bigger and light up. Makes it easier to store. Great for when power goes out. Fast delivery by seller.

I'm pretty happy with these lanterns for the price and the quantity (i got 2). Comes with some generic batteries but since LED lights are low power the batteries should last a bit, especially if you're planning on using these lanterns in emergency like I do.Brightness wise its bright enough, it won't turn night into day but its bright enough to light up a room and make it habitable if the power goes off, if you pair it with two then its more than enough.The lanterns are also pretty light thanks to its plastic body and acrylic housing. And that leads me to probably my only con besides the "good enough" brightness levels, is the diffusion of light from the acrylic window. it doesn't spread out the light 100% evenly so you'll have what I call "splotches" of light spread around the space. It's not terrible or a deal breaker but it is noticeable but again not enough to bother me. The body is also made of plastic so I wouldn't call it super durable. Can probably take a couple of falls and dings but I wouldn't call it a workhorse.Overall these are good lights to have in a pinch, or even if you're looking for a daily lantern that doesn't break the bank. If you're looking for a serious lantern or one with multiple features I'd pass on this one. but it does the job, I can't complain and it gets my thumbs upFYI I noticed there are several lanterns on Amazon that go by different brand names but look identical to this one. My guess is that several vendors use the same private label manufacturer so keep that in mind if you happen to find this exact model of lantern.

I wasn't really looking for any lanterns on Amazon, but when I came across 2 for 15 bucks I couldn't pass it up. These things could easily be sold elsewhere for 20 bucks a piece.They look like they're made of machined aluminum in the photos, but they're actually made of a durable plastic. They're very lightweight and small. WAY smaller than other lanterns that produce the same output with standard bulbs. There are a total of 30 LED's, 3 sides with 10 each in a triangular pattern. The lighting output is sufficient, it won't blow you away, but it is definitely bright enough to illuminate a tent or picnic table. You could even use it for navigating on foot due to its size.The light collapses down into the body, and when you want to turn it on you pop it up. There is no switch, it turns on automatically. The lights turn on at about 1/4" of lifting it up. The movement is very smooth and fluid. There is just enough friction so that it is easy to pull up, yet not to little as to let it come up on its own and turn on if it were upside down. I should note that there is no digital function to change the brightness. However, you could easily do this by collapsing the light a little bit so some or most of the LED's are inside the body. Of course, it won't save any power doing it this way though. The handles are made of stainless steel and do exactly what they're supposed to. It is worth mentioning that the handles do not hinder the movement of the mechanism even when they are in their collapsed position.The lantern takes 3 AA batteries. I like this feature a lot because I am used to having big bulky lanterns that use D or C batteries for camping. AA batteries are much smaller and more common, plus I can use rechargeable ones which is nice. The battery compartment is housed at the bottom and is accessed by unscrewing a lid. This is an advantage over a traditional clipping cover that other products use that pop off and get lost easily.My only complaint is that I would have preferred a single handle that was centered rather than two handles on either end. This is just because I think two is over kill.Other than that, I can only say good things about these lanterns. If you're even considering buying them, just do it, you won't be disappointed.Thanks Divine LEDs!

Living in Florida, I bought these as a preparation for hurricanes and they have come in great use since then. I haven't had the opportunity to use them frequently, but when I did need them they have come in handy. For an excellent price, I've received something that has lasted me through college and beyond. For a smaller lantern than others on the market, it gives off no less light and easily brightens a whole room. This was a good purchase for hurricanes and it has been a good companion through numerous power outages and night ventures since.
