Energizer Folding LED Camping Lantern, IPX4 Water Resistant Lanterns for Camping, Fishing, Outdoors, Power Outage, Compact and Portable Tent Lights

Solid, comfortable to handle and carry, non water-resistant (would be perfect, if it was water resistant, as this lantern, then folded, provides much more useable forward illumination, that is shining and illumiaating mostly forward and is not blinding to your eyes, as comparing to regular Energizer 360 water-resistant Aa/D size lantern or Coleman CPX 6 Easy Hanging LED 200 lumen 4-D-size lantern) lantern, accepts four D size batteries. Sufficiently bright, not as bright as my old Coleman CPX 6 Easy Hanging LED 200 lumen lanter, but is lighter, more comfortable to carry, shines forward if folded and does not blind you, and will suffice in most conditions of NYC apartments. Energizers' lanters are the only lanters utilizing an ingenious one small led night light ( you have 8 white led and 1 orange night light led inside, and can cycle full brighness/low/nightlight). That nightlight led makes sure in complete darkness you are always aware of the environment, location of the lantern, and is great for kids to not get them scared in complete blackout - very useful feature, often overlooked by reviewers. If you have small children, most of them are afraid of the darkness, this is the one to get to use with them, or another Energizer lantern with the same orange led nightlight feature, there are several of them, like Energizer 360 lantern, all are very good. Very affordable, excellent value. Highly recommend. I had bought 3 of them, and 2 solar models of this same lantern. Update on non-power regulated voltage : I had found out from NLee the Engineer review this lantern is not power regulated voltage, meaning the lantern will use the batteries faster and inefficient, but I guess for the price of this lantern is not to be expected. I will try the lantern longevity with Eneloops Pro or Amazon Basics High-Capacity inside D-size adapters (2 AA inside one D-adapter), once batteries will go through break in mode on Skyrc NC2500 charger. I live in NYC in Zone A, so I am stacking up just in case. Update for AA rechargeable batteries use: Runtime when using AA rechargeable batteries, Amazon Basics High-Capacity, confirmed discharge capacity 2450+ MAh, with a D adapter (1 rechargeable per adapter loaded for testing purposes, so 4 AA rechargeables total) on high is 3 hours full-light-output, after initial 3 "bright" hours it is dimmer and dimmer, useful to somewhat 2 feet-away-illumination around it for another 12 hours, and is on for next 15 hours, useful only as a night light. Will update with 8 batteries (2 per adapter) and for low light output longevity later.

I did not buy this lantern on Amazon but I have three of them which I picked up, at various times, at Lowe's when they were on sale for about a dollar more than the Amazon price. As far as I am concerned, this is THE lantern for hurricane country down here on the Gulf coast. I guess they sell well too because all the hardware stores seem to have a constant supply of them. They run on four D size batteries which are very secure. To access the battery compartment, you use a dime or small screwdriver to turn unlock type fixed in screws to the unlock position. Behind the main twin LED columns, which are exceptionally bright, there is a metal mirror which does a dandy job of projecting the light from the lantern forward if you are outside and night walking with it. You can also swing the light "tubes" upward and light will then come out of both sides of the tubes. This light is identical to a fluorescent type lantern that was sold before LEDs. I had the fluorescent lantern my dad had given me as a Christmas present and, for some reason, had never opened it but when the LED lantern came out, I gave the fluorescent one to a neighbor and we compared the output. The LEDs seemed as bright or even slightly brighter and will, of course, burn longer on the 4 D batteries. The little amber night light burns for over a week, I think, and it is dandy in motels as a nightlight to find your way to the bathroom. I keep one by the bed at home and switch the night light on when I have to go to the bathroom at night. I provides sufficient light when your eyes are night adjusted. The only down side, if you want to call it that, is that the Hi power and the Low power seem almost the same but, if the low power does make the battery pack last longer I guess that that is a good thing. Both high and low compare favorably to a Coleman butan lantern for camping and to a bright Coleman LED camping lantern I use. I imagine that butane lanterns are almost a thing of the past since the mantles are so fragile and the gas a bit dangerous. If you do live in storm country, you do NOT want to burn candles or oil lampts. In a Cat three hurricane like Ivan, your house would burn like an inferno if you had a fire. LED lights of every kind should have replaced anything with fire by now. I hear that they have revolutionized the third worl sine the battery life is good. I would recommend this lanter for anything you need a lantern or a six volt light for. The only thing it would not be good for was throwing out a high powered beam to search with though it will more than suffice for midnight navigations. The light has less glare than a Coleman camping LED though I like my Coleman too.

We've used this in the woods in full dark, and inside the tent as well. The brightest settings are too bright to look at, so the foldable options are nice b/c you can somewhat control how you place it, and the lowest setting is really unable to emit any circle of light, just a golden glow that stays within the frosted plastic so you can easily grab your light without losing it in the dark, or have a nightlight in the tent for kids. It's sturdy too, sits well on a picnic table so you can find the table in the pitch dark when leaving my husbands idea of a campfire to go look for the marshmallows. He seriously thinks he should let the fire get all the way down to coals before anyone should want to roast because that's how you make the "perfect golden marshmallow," which if you've ever tried this, causes a multitude of issues, like kids who can't roast their marshmallows without basically moving into the fire for two hours, no light at camp, no heat for everyone shivering in their camp chairs, and no fear for forest animals, like the skunk that visited us two weeks ago because it definitely thought our fire was bedded down for the night, when nope, that was just my husband's idea of a camp fire. Not.

Great for power outages, camping, working on projects.

This energizer weather ready lantern is amazing. I am so glad I came across this lantern for so many great reasons. I really like how bright it gets and how it brightens up an entire room. It only takes 4 D batteries for it to work. It is best to use energizer max D alkaline batteries. The lantern allows you to use three different light settings one is a moon which is not bright, one is sun and gives more light off and one is extra bright. The lantern is also a water resistant lantern. which is amazing that you can use it in any weather rain or shine. The lantern stands up really well on its own it didn’t fall over and was well balanced in every position we put it in. The lantern also lights up on both sides so it can illuminate the room from front and back. I record it for free but I am buying a second one because it is that good. We have had bad storms, tornadoes ally the past couple years where I live. We had a lost Electric had needed light so bad besides having to use candles all the time. So this is a great item to have for us and I would like to have more than one so that we each have one in the home in case were in different rooms when the lights go out or one can be kept in the bathroom one in the living room. I highly recommend this lantern it’s amazing.

I love these lanterns! I have acquired 4 of them over the years and it is my go-to flashlight. This lantern has gotten me through countless power outages, 9 days without electricity after Hurricane Sandy, and numerous camping trips. The various settings give enough options that this lantern can be used in pretty much any scenario. The night light setting is nice to have in a tent while camping. The brightest setting while unfolding the light is perfect for lighting up a camp site, working in a dark space, or lighting up a dark room. The medium setting while the lantern is closed is what I normally use for walking around in the dark outside. The battery life on this lantern is very long too. I always keep a set of extra batteries around for this light but rarely ever have to change them. I think one of the lanterns I have has been running off the same set of batteries for over a year now. I check periodically for corrosion on the batteries but everything is holding up great. The only time I have ever had to replace one of the lanterns is when one got left behind during a camping trip.

I got this latern mainly for when the electricity goes out in the house. I had a nice latern that died out after fifteen years, so was in need of a new one. I looked at this model and others. I got this one because of the good reviews. I like the size of this latern - not too big and not too small. It can be put away for emergencies and doesn't take up much room on the shelf. I like the different levels from night light, low and high settings. When the electricity is out at night, there isn't much to do and with this latern, you can not only read, but it is strong enough to light up the whole room. My Mother took the latern with her when she went to another room. That was when I realized just how good this latern was. I went from nice light in the room to complete darkness. I thought of a couple of things - Man, it is dark and I gotta tell Amazon.com what a great latern this is. What a difference this latern makes. I also got it for it's battery life. With some laterns, you have to replace the batteries after the storm is over. We were out of lights for two days and the light didn't even start to get dim after 10+ hours of use. If you are looking for a latern for when you are camping, or if you are prone to the electricity going out in your area, this is the latern for you. Get it, you will be glad you did!

Easy to use. Emits great light in an emergency. I bought this one to replace one like it that we had used for years for unexpected power outages. I must remember to remove/replace batteries yearly to avoid battery leakage!

This little lantern far exceeded my expectations! Lot of light, very practical design and tough. I drag it all over in a dirty rough crawl space.

Ilumina bastante en su modo alto 1000 lm en su modo nocturno es también útil la luz ámbar que ofrece, es una pequeña luz útil en la oscuridad. El que tenga posibilidades de cargar un dispositivo usando la carga de la linterna lo hace especialmente útil le añade un plus, explico por qué, las pilas D que utiliza ofrecen gran capacidad de carga. Los materiales se sienten resistentes sin llegar al uso rudo, debe tratarse con cuidado para mantenerla sin rayones o fracturas que si se te cae posiblemente se rompe porque pesa bastante con las pilas D. Un pequeño golpe sin problemas lo resiste. Entre los inconvenientes que halle los reduzco a la tapa de las pilas, hay que hacer bastante presión para recolocarla.

This is a very efficient flashlight, extremely bright and I would certainly recommend it.

Funciona genial y desdoblando la linterna ofrece luz 360 grados

I am very happy with this product. I use it for a night light.
