It will work well for what I need it for.
Plus I'm a amateur.

Ridge Runner said:I also ordered another Lantern at the same time which also turned up a couple of hours after the other one, I wanted a rechargable one because I have a Kero Hurricane Lamp and the Coleman that runs off of D Cells and now This one because it is rechargable so then I have 3 power source if one fails or runs out of power, It is 1000 Lumens On High and runs for 6.5 hours and on medium ti runs for around 8 hours and On Low it will run for 12 hours, I also has a Flashing mode as well, The it has another trick up it's sleeve where in any mode if you hold the On Button down it will Dim the brightness which can extend its run time even further, One really nice feature is on it Is when you press the button it comes on in the Medium mode and if you press it Once more it will go to the Low Mode which is still really bright but the low mode is a slightly Yellower Light more like and Oil Lamp but about 100X brighter which is a lot warmer in Colour not like the Very White light that the other modes have
It has lithium batteries in it are 4400mah powered by a couple of 18650's and it can also be used as a charging source for your phone or any other small Items, It stands about 7.8" high by3.6" wide OR 198mm by 97mm wide. The outer body is rubberized and they are drop tested from a height of 2m, I
The 3 light modes are very bright even more so than the Coleman one above But being able to Dim each light setting is a clever feature, and it's compact size makes it perfect for the Glovebox or other nooks and Cranny's. There are a few versions of this lantern, theres this rechargable model and then they make a lighter Green one that takes D Cells that puts out 1500 Lumens and they also make smaller versions to go in ya backpack, These can all be found on Amazon,
This one looks and feels like it's built to take the knocks,
At the moment I have it set to the Low mode which is the warmer colour mode but I have set the Dimmer to as low as it can go because they say it can run for 12 hours in the low mode but I want to see if Dimming it down extends that run time, Don't be fooled by its compact size, because this thing will light up any room in the house, The Coleman is very bright and is a smarter looking and has a nice simple switch system and has massive run times with up to 200 hours on Low and 30 hours so it really is good for those long nights without power, But this one is Great if you have access to a 1 or 2Ah USB socket to charge it.
Another couple of features it has you can remove the top half of the Lantern and there is a Carabina Hook in the Base so you can hang it up in a tent or On a Line etc and it also has the normal Handle Lanterns come with.
Any way here it is,
