Welcome to the Urban Survivor channel and in this video we’re going to be taking a look at a handful of the best rechargeable camping lanterns you can buy. The lanterns we’re going to be looking at in this video are the Streamlight Super Siege, the Fenix CL30R, the BLF LT1 and the LE Rechargeable and we’re going to be looking at their unique features and comparing them for max output, runtimes, weight and more.
First up we have the streamlight super siege which is one of the most durable and most water resistant lanterns you can buy. It has both white and red lighting modes, it can be used as a power bank to charge your devices and it has a maximum runtime of 14.5 days.
This is the BLF LT1 which is one of the most feature rich and best performing lanterns you can buy and it runs on 18650 batteries and it can run straight from a power bank if needed. This lantern allows you to ramp between warm and cool tints, you can ramp the output or you can use the pre configured stepped output settings. There is a whole community behind this lantern over on budgetlightforum.com and though there isn’t much from the manufacturer there’s all kinds of data on this forum about the different runtimes but from what I’ve read I expect this lantern to be able to run for over 3-4 months on it’s lowest setting so if runtime is important to you this is the best option to go for.
This is the Fenix CL30R which also runs on 18650 batteries and has a max output of 650 lumens. It has great runtimes, a cold resistant design and it can power your mobile devices if needed. Fenix is a great company to buy from and they offer 5 years of free repairs and a limited lifetime warranty on this product.
Finally we have the LE rechargeable which is the most affordable lantern here. It has a few different options for color settings along with a few different output levels. If you just want something simple to last you for a night or two this is a good option to consider. It’s also one of the most purchased rechargeable lanterns on Amazon.
Let me know what you think of these lanterns in the comments and if you want to learn more you can watch some of my reviews or you can find links to purchase in the description which will also help to support the channel.

For me, BLF LT1 has by far the best overall features. Thats the rrason why I own 3 of this lantern. Kudos to the designer of this lantern and their collab to Sofirn. Thank you also @Urban Survivor for making this comparison to help people decide what fits their need. All the best to you
Thanks a lot Alvin! Im planning to remake this video in a few weeks with the sofirn lt1, lt1 mini, lt1s, lumintop cl2, nitecore lr60 and the ledlenser ml4!
Another great video! 👍🏼I love my BLF LT1..btw the LT1 can also be used with just one 18650 in an emergency. I'm really looking forward to the release of the BLF LT1 MINI.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Im on the list for the Mini as well! Cant wait test that one out!
Great and informative video as usual! Thanks for the work that you put into these comparisons
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it.
The BLF would be absolutely perfect if it had red light capability. Not sure if that Fenix one does and I believe the Streamlight does. The red light strobe function is very cool.
Always go warm (candle, 2700 Kelvin). You don't want to feel like you're shopping at Walmart in your home, tent or campsite. I have the LT1. Blue white lights throw off colors too much. Can't use it working on a wiring harness/cable bundle for example. Buying the new LT1S soon, works on 1 21750? battery, 30 bucks cheaper, much lighter. Good vid.
Another thing about the BLF LT1 it has an extra unused led chip. Simply sauder it and it goes up to 760 lumens I believe. It's super easy to do.
Awesome video... has me undecided, not to mention I'm sure there may be better options considering this comparison was done 2 yrs ago. The one thing I do wish you had mentioned, would have been run time on max settings, including max run time using max battery options for the 2 lanterns that have replaceable batteries.
Great comparison and review, new subscriber 👍
I like the streamlight from the review. Although I have decided to not use streamlight’s other products, this one fits nicely for me.
I been looking for one just in case the power outage during thunderstorms and such mostly thunderstorms ! I been looking for things like this! For along time I use Candles 🕯 I might stop! I would use this for emergencies!
Super video thank you ! I am looking for a lantern with 25 hours autonomy with full power, I am looking for a great brightness
thank you for your help
Any light with removable rechargeable batteries or Dual Power sources are the way to go if we are talking power outages because there is no way to tell how long they will be. So if you can have different power sources like most 18650 flashlights are with CR123 batteries. Or extra 18650 batteries charged and stored. So that tosses the Streamlight out the race right there and the LE. I do have a Sofirn Headlamp that's great but Fenix makes some excellent clear Flashlights. Either or because both have replaceable batteries would work in my opinion.
Great video with lots of information. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Vinny!
Have you reviewed Tough Light lantern? It’s probably the most similar to Streamlight.
Love my first gen LT1, will get another when they do the power bank option. Probably 2 lol. Thanks for the video, the fenix looks good as well.
Yeah I couldnt be happier with the LT1! I am leaving it on its lowest output to see what kind of runtime it gets. Going strong 1 week in so far lol. I read they are making a mini version too... planning to get that as well.
They released an updated version recently with the power bank option Also charges faster.
@@UrbanSurvivor howd that runtime test go?
I think the first one is very good for just lumens and run time but the fenix one does give you free repairs which is very good!
Yeah these are all excellent options thats for sure!
If the fenix uses removable18650 cells you could get some better capacity batteries as well. Edit: whoops you said that literally right after i typed that.😅
Thanks for the comparison. Want to replace a Rayovac so no more d cells. Streamlight should be the clear winner but will become a paper weight when the battery fails. Same for the LE. Fenix looks like a dollar store item. So that leaves the BLF or a Siege X with only 300 lum. Probably why the BLF has the best feedback. Hey Nitecore want to build a legit lantern and show them how its done?
@@NUTZJ98 Think again. While all my other lights are known brands I bought a Fenix clone that was less than twenty bucks. Works great. Haven't even had to replace the low quality 18650s in it. Did have to repair the cap tho. Bet I could double the run time by throwing in some Orbtronics that didn't get used in another project.
great no nonsense vid. Thanks for not pushing a product.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I also made a similar video comparing a few smaller lanterns. Check it out if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/3K2kw5_2sbs/v-deo.html
i like the Streamlight Siege AA its small easy to carry in camping and its floats, i like the AA battery that i can carry a spare of Alkaline AA batteries during long days of camping no worries of recharging and easy to dispose. Easy to find AA size batt. I use AAA battery on my headlight and My Garmin GPS also use AA battery. I dont like not like the newer once that uses 18650 and 21700 batteries or the build in batt that needed to be charge thru folding solar panels or powerbank. I only use my powerbank back up for my device like phone and camera.. Its better to pack light in long camping trips. For home use i use rechargeable batt like eneloop to save money on batteries.
However, these Li-Ion akkus are much more powerful with 3.7 V.
Any other lantern that can run straight from the power bank ?
sofirn lt1s
I really like the BLF LT1 for the battery replacement capability and can take higher capacity batteries..... Thanks US!
Yeah its really an excellent lantern and very reasonably priced for what you get. They are coming out with a mini one as well.
@@UrbanSurvivorHow does the BLF LT1 and LUMINTOP CL2 4X SST20 differ?
@BOOSTEDLASER I've never never seen the LUMINTOP CL2 4X SST20 until today but it appears that the main difference is that the BLF LT1 runs on 18650s and the Lumintop on AAs / 14500s.. The BLF LTS has higher outputs, longer runtimes, variable color control. The Lumintop looks like a good alternative if you want something a little more compact and portable. I've had a handful of lumintop lights that I have enjoyed over the years...
Concerning the run time, for the LE lamp the 12 hours you mentioned is for 3000 K light temperature AT FULL BRIGHTNESS.
Never did you mention that by long pressing the button you can dim the lamp and achieve a far longer run time than 12 hours...
Not very serious !
Got my LT1 yesterday which was orange and had the case too. Opened it up and missing all 4 18650! WTF
Yikes i am sorry to hear that! Usually they will specify on the product page whether or not the batteries are included so you should probably double check that to be certain
Anyone compared the coast to the streamlight or fenix? Just curious how they compare.
Generally I recommend people check out the sofirn lanterns ( BLF LT1, LT1 S and LT1 Mini. They're pretty much the perfect lantern for every occasion.
You are missing out on the finest quality LED LANTERN ever built ? The LED LENSER ML6 WARM. I do like the STREAMLIGHT SUPER SEIGE and the BLF LT1 lights to but forget about the other 2 lights in this review.
Yeah I wasnt aware of that lantern until a few weeks after I made the video. I actually reviewed the ML6 warm a few weeks ago and agree it would have been good to include in this comparison.
@@UrbanSurvivor Now that I think of it the Phoenix light appears to be an OK choice to.
@@Hondacber yeah the fenix is nice too, especially with increased battery capacity. I included the LE because it does sell very well on Amazon so I wanted to see how it stacked up.
DAMN if you were to put 4 fenix 3600 batteries in that BLF LT1 it would last twice as long!! looks like thats the light for me!!
Yeah the runtime is insane on the BLF LT1. I'm a little over 4 weeks into a runtime test and it's going strong.
Thanks bro, my towns power keeps going out.
Glad you enjoyed it Caleb! Which lantern are you leaning towards? I'm actually in the process of remaking this video with some newer options but it might be a few months before it gets published. The new Sofirn LT1 Mini is cool if you want something more compact.
@@UrbanSurvivor the cheapest one for now 😆
cool
You know what would be interesting. The Rayovac Sportsman 305 lumen lantern was the GOAT for LED camping lanterns for the better part of a decade. Given the fact you need 4x the lumens to see twice as bright rule, I wonder how it would compare to some of these modern lanterns. Certainly powered by 3 d cells you'd get serious run time for power outages on high with only 305 lumen on high which I kind of like. I'm thinking of getting one from Amazon, they are $29.89. If I don't like it might be a fun mod to put in an Andruil driver and modern LED on a large heat sink and run that on NIMH d cells.
I just looked at the specs, 305 lumen for 70 hours. That's likely ANSI FL1 or similar rating down to 10% brightness. Still with that long run time I'm guessing by the 25 hour mark your still getting 200 lumens or so.
I found one of those Rayovacs in the woods some silly left behind...looking like a few months/some winter.
I cleaned it up and I like it. ...being I was always a Coleman lantern guy. But RoV heavy/bulky, as far as some are now.
I ended up getting the Olight mini, loving the size, usb charge, 'n decent run times...high I don't care to look at long. lol, the missus liked it too and had me get four to give out as gifts. (non-sale is 60.00)
@@brianbartulis9709 Nice. I bought the Rayovac Sportsman 305 lumen lantern shortly after my comments and it has two major issues. It only stays on high on timer for 5 minutes and kicks down to low, If you turn it off and on it resets and you get 5 more minutes on high. When in low it has a lot of noticeable PWM flickering light. Not great for power outages for me. I ended up with a GE Enbrighten 400 lumen 4 D cell lantern and it's as bright as the he Rayovac Sportsman 305 lumen lantern only on medium and lasts many hours without kicking down. The light quality is flicker free in any mode and more warm/natural which I like for a lantern also. Not bad for $25. I have an Olight i3s flashlight and Olight RN800 bike light. Nice stuff they make.
@@practicalguy973 Sorry to hear.
I just tested mine twice and it doesn't step down, and low doesn't flicker.
Thinks my eyes are beginning to flicker watching it so long.
~ Maybe mine is an older model of same?
In all the sites I looked them up it doesn't mention as a feature. lol, I didn't know it had a blinking mode...not really a strobe.
~~ Olight ended up doing me ok after a fairly long delayed shipping.(lol, customs?)
They sent me a freebie single triple A keychain light. ...lame as a chain light, but kinda bright.
Yesterday I got another apology, 10.00 coupon from them.
So I popped onto their site to see what the Warrior Mini2 was going for and a sale was going on.
lol, like I need another flashlight, but I do like the magnet charging.
In that I got a Warrior Mini2 29.00 off with sale 'n coupon. (Silver/Blue jobbie)
~ Now I need to find a decent USB auto charger to make a re-chargeable practical.
huh, and I was always just a 20 lumen kinda guy, wanting to see after I shut the light off. (-:
instant purchase for a 2 pack of the green on based on price. Thank you! btw the Lord powerfully told me the tribulation is coming soon.

I'm looking for a lantern that has an extremely dim warm pleasing light. Preferably usb type c. The closest lantern I could find is balmunda the lantern. From Japan. It's over 150$ but it's extremely interesting. Anything close to that available here in the states? Thanks. Your channel is *cough* lit. 🔥
What do you think of the BLF LT1?
@@UrbanSurvivor I wonder how low it dims down, I'm all about very dim warm light, every channel is always obsessed with how bright it can get. I'm the opposite
@@noctilucent7396 its tough to say but its really low... ive actually had the blf lt1 running a little over 1 month on its lowest setting. The real answer is probably hiding somewhere on the budget light forum
@@noctilucent7396 LEDLENSER also makes the ML6 and ML4 lanterns in warm... I reviewed the ML6 Warm and ML4 cool
@@UrbanSurvivor really appreciate the feed back which one is the dimmest warmest?
There is no reason to aggravating 1000 decibels start with the tone down to 500 decibels. Thx for waking up the kids
