Great illumination

Amazing flexibility in a light and a must for anyone’s kit being car camping or backpacking; little large for backpacking, but worth the extra weight. Lots of functions and well thought out light.

Great camping light or even just to use out in the garden.

Very bright on full, very versatile in its uses. Ideal for camping, boating, mobile home or just in the garden on those warm summer months...well maybe not in the UK..lol...I'm pleased with it and hope it will give me many years use.

Magnet useless

Magnet Not strong enough to hold the weight of the lantern - basically useless. I bought it because I wanted to be able to stick it to the side of my van, or to the bonnet if I was fixing anything but I cannot do that now. Expensive item, needs a stronger magnet otherwise works well, like the colour and that it came quickly and already charged

Top lantern

I love this lantern and the different light settings. Orange dim light, low white and bright white. Then it also has an orange glow they goes from low to high on its own to set an ambient lighting to sleep to.
