I got this about a month ago, has worked well so far though I have not needed it for a power outage. I bought it because I had a power outage and my florescent lantern didn't work. It worked ever time I tested it, but when I needed it, it didn't work. This is much more practical. It is smaller, lighter and last way longer. The dimming and warm/cool setting are really good features.
Thanks a bunch for the review. I had been searching far and wide for a camping lantern that had a warm light similar to the vintage Coleman gas lanterns. I absolutely *hate* the cold LED color of more LED lamps and have had trouble in the past with getting to sleep when using those. When I'm out in the woods, I like to lay down and read for an hour or so before going to bed, but really, really greatly prefer a warm colored light over the cold LED stuff. This looks like a winner to me. Thanks again!
I noticed all the PWM flickering your camera picked up especially in the dimmest mode. I know you mostly can't see that in reality but a good test is if you wave your hand quickly in front of the light and notice some flicking it can be enough to give some people a headache. I was considering the BLF LT1 as a modern lantern with no PWM circuit and also has warm and cool white LEDs! I have some high end flashlights and many don't use slow PWM anymore. I hope more lanterns go that direction.
Hi. I just wanted to say thanks for showing the 'dimmable' function on this lantern. I have a few of these, for power-cuts, etc (plus one in my garden shed), and I didn't know you could reduce the brightness! The instructions weren't very good, so I would never have discovered this feature if it weren't for your video :) So far ive found them to be an excellent product - way brighter than my old CFL battery lights, and really good battery life, too.
Amazon has a sale on this as there is a rechargeable version now. So I purchased three of the d cells versions. 8000 mah vs 10,000 x 3 D rechargeable cells.
what's the total number of hours of every light mode at their lowest setting for every set of fresh batteries? if you happen to test it like till the time batteries burn out...Thanks a lot!
A lot of reviews are saying there's a constant flashing light when batteries are installed. Can you describe the location of this flashing light (if any); is it the button itself that blinks, or is it a tiny light that can be covered with electrical tape?
They removed that a couple of years ago and rightfully so. If it was to find in the dark they should have put some type of glow in the dark button instead of having a flashing light.
It’s been on the warm light mode going on three straight days on low and still going strong
I Love flashlights!!!!

Dave Plews being a prepper, duration is important to me.
On warm light on lowest setting I turned it off after running 6 days straight
Thanks for the review. I currently updated all my camping equipment definitely gonna get this

This is a great light, just got mine on ebay for $17 shipped.

szchicken there is no flashing light of any kind
Mine doesn't have a flashing light. I'm wondering if the flashing/blinking light may be a problem they had in earlier models, which they fixed?

Can it run on aa battery using aa to d adapter ? Thanks
730 hours of lowest setting?
probably be useful for me not to use pay electricity bill no more, just use lantern.
