Etekcity Lantern Camping Essentials Lights, Led Flashlight for Power Outages, Survival Gear and Supplies for Emergency, Hurricane Preparedness Items , Battery Operated Lamp, 2 Pack, Black

These Etekcity camping lanterns are excellent! They’re compact but give off a bright, even light that works great for camping, power outages, or emergency preparedness. I love how easy they are to use—just pull up to turn on—and the battery life is impressive. The build feels sturdy and durable, and the 2-pack is a great value so I can keep one at home and one in my emergency kit. A must-have for both outdoor adventures and peace of mind during storms.

Bright light right out of the box. Nice to be able to hang the lanterns and comes with 3 AA batteries installed. Appreciate the easy top lift up design for shedding light on any situation. Perfect size too.

Wow! These are powerful little lanterns. Bright light. Very easy - just pop open and they turn on - batteries come with it. I am going to buy more of them and give them to my elderly parents as they are much easier and functional and brighter than flashlights and easier to carry or hang. I got them for camping but they have multiple uses. Excellent product. Very pleasantly surprised for the lost cost!

I picked these up on a lightning deal during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, I don't remember exactly, sometime during that time period. In the pictures it looks like they might be metal, but they are actually made of plastic or as the cell phone manufacturers say these days polycarbonate. They feel very durable, although I don't know if they will tolerate being dropped on a hard surface. The exterior will probably be fine, but there are a lot of internal parts with those LED lights inside. One thing I noticed is I'm not sure if the batter compartment (or the lights themselves) are sealed to be water tight. As expected, Amazon got them here quickly and in great shape.These things are bright. Much brighter than, for example, the Black Diamond lantern I have that uses AA batteries. They are also fairly large, which for my purposes is just fine. There are other options out there that are more portable, but these throw out enough light for a campsite, which is nice. They run fine on Eneloop batteries. I don't have an estimate on run-time yet.The biggest drawback that I see is that they are not adjustable in terms of power. You turn it on by pulling up and out of the base, exposing the LED lights. You can dim the lantern by pushing it further into the base, but that doesn't save you any power because all the LEDs are still lit. Sometimes, you don't need quite that much light, and having some sort of dimmer or power adjustment would allow it to operate much longer if you choose.Overall, great value for the money spent. If they could come up with a version with a dimmer or perhaps lights up fewer of the LEDs and maybe seal the battery compartment, those would be the only improvements I could ask for.

Why would anyone use a candle anymore in a power outage? Just buy these lanterns they light up the whole room. Great for power outages, camping, and tracking down things that go bump in the night!

Lights up small areas well. Because it disperses light in all directions, it's not as powerful as a flashlight. But the light is adequate, especially given the price (two for $15). What I really like is the way it turns on and off. No switches or buttons. Pull the light out to turn it on; push it back in to turn it off. Very compact in the off position.

These are amazing. They have great durable plastic material. They have a little weight to them so they don’t blow away. The brightness is great.

I have yet to use these, but they are very nice. I bought them for emergencies and thank God there hasn’t been yet but they are very bright and I’m not worrying about the power going out anymore.
