Camping Lantern 5200 Capacity

I would absolutely buy this again. It’s bright, you can change the brightness and light color. It’s great quality. Easy to recharge and it’s small and ext really portable. Great price for a great product.

Great light, bright for it's size. The magnet let's you place this in more places. I use for night lights and work light. Price makes the deal hard to beat.

This light was a NICE surprise. We bought this to go into of a child tent and quickly found this was also a great item to have for power outages, camping needs, or a comfort light in the evening. With multiple light options and dimming ability this has remained a great purchase. The battery is also very good at lasting and recharging is an easy plug in.

This little LED lantern is very similar to many others on Amazon. The biggest difference is that the rated battery capacity of 6400 mAh is definitely better than the others. Does that mean it will last longer on a full charge? In theory, yes, but that assumes that the rating is correct and that the quality of the battery is good. I don't have the expertise or test equipment to test that, so I just have to trust that the manufacturer is honest and of decent quality. Despite my uncertainty about the battery claims, I still recommend this lantern compared to other similar models on Amazon. Below are my opinions about some of the pros and cons of this particular lantern. PROS: • Seems like a solidly built lantern when holding it. Just the right size to easily carry around and light your way around a dark area. • IP65 rating, making it good for outdoor use (again, assuming the manufacturer is being accurate, as I haven't tested this) • Came with good instruction manual, with nice, understandable diagram for changing modes. • Light output seems good. The difference between low, medium and high settings is obvious. I think that for the size of this little lantern, the light output is very good. • Built-in, foldable hook is convenient, especially outside or in a tent. • Power button is relatively big and easy to operate. • The large battery should last longer than other models, assuming it's rating is accurate. • This is a "who cares?" pro, but I like the packaging it came in. • It comes with a short USB charging cable. Yes, you probably have quite a few around already, but it's still nice that the manufacturer provides it. (It doesn't come with a wall charger, though. This is also a pro, because it keeps the cost down. Just use any USB wall charger you already have that charges the dozen phones and speakers and portable batteries that you already have.) MAIN CON: This con applies to seemingly every LED lantern and flashlight out there today, so this con shouldn't prevent you from buying this lantern: the inconvenience and learning curve of the on/off, brightness, and mode settings using the one-button design. On this lantern, you must press and hold the power switch to turn the light on or off. Once on, you single press to cycle through the brightness levels/modes (medium, low, high, stupid strobe, stupid SOS). If you single press when the lantern is off, this just activates the battery level indicator. I suppose this is nice if you often carry this in a tightly packed backpack or something, as maybe the long-press to turn on the lantern will prevent accidentally turning it on. But for practical, everyday use, this is a counter-intuitive design. I bought this for my mom's house, in case of power outages. She's 88, and although she can still do basic mechanical things, like use the remote to turn on the TV and change channels, as she's gotten older her ability to perform once normal tasks is diminishing. I don't think that she would know to hold down the power button for 2 seconds to make it power on/off. I've shown it to her but she'll likely forget. At the same time as buying this, I also bought a full-size LED lantern. That one has it's own magical logic for using the single power button, but at least it only requires a single, normal click of the button to turn it on. I understand that the idea of the single, multi-use button is for cost savings and perhaps improved reliability due to removing additional controls, and some might argue that it adds to the simplicity of operation. However, I disagree. Having a separate switch to control the lighting mode, distinct from the on/off switch, would make this much easier for many people, especially elderly, to operate. Also, since it seems that each manufacturer uses a different logic chip to operate the light, each light has it's own method of operation, making it even more confusing. Now, I admit that this isn't the most complicated system in the world to learn, but this is also just a light. I think that the complexity of operation shouldn't exceed the complexity of function. OTHER CONS (all minor): • The last mode setting used (brightness level, flashing, color) is not remembered when turning off the lantern. When turning the lantern back on, it reverts to medium white light. This is pretty minor, but I'd prefer a memory. • The mode sequence is also a little odd, starting at medium, then low, then brightest. I'd prefer low, medium, high, and then back to low. • It has the useless flashing modes. Yes, this is just personal opinion, but how many people actually use strobe and SOS? They're just an annoyance to have to cycle through. NEUTRAL: • It has built-in magnets, but they aren't very strong. Well, they are probably strong enough for many scenarios, but the lamp too easily slid when placed on the side of a refrigerator with a black coating on it. It would probably do much better on a car hood. • It can charge other devices. I'm tempted to put this as a con. Please, don't buy this over another product just because it has this feature (though all the models seems to have it). This is an LED lantern, not your phone charger. If you're using this while out camping, first, turn off your phone. Second, if you must have your phone, buy a dedicated portable battery charger.

Amazing light, ticks all the boxes and is much better than the price. The colour modes remember their brightness and the red mode is a must once you get used to it! The warm mode is great. Magnet stregth is good, clip is strong, and build quality is good. It takes drops well too! The remote is surprisingly useful Highly recommend.

Great light lasts over 7 days just using it at night and some in the evening. ****IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE THE REMOTES ALL CONTROL ALL THE LIGHTS**** good if they are all yours bad if they aren’t. Me and my friends were playing cut off my light cut on yours until one of us had to get up to do it manually. The remote has like a 50 yard range in direct line of sight. I could turn it on from the back of the camp site and on as well. Bright is bright and dim is dim so you can leave it on red or warm or a blue hue. Flashing for all of them and SOS.

This light has a long battery life and is so handy! I clipped into the back of my car and it’s perfect for when I car camp. I’ve had it for years and still works great!

As others have noted, the remote died immediately. Attempts to revive it failed. Would not recommend this product; there are better choices I think.

Very bright, easily lights up a very large tent. I put the light on top of my 4runner at night, remote control always works to see around the outside of truck. Remote has a Very long range but does consume its battery somewhat quickly.

Fantastic Light. I use this for camping and I hang it at the top of my tent. The light is bright at the brightest setting and a great dim level at the lowest. The remote makes it easy to turn on and off. Nice and compact and easy charging with the USB C input. Love the product!

The light works great, it has a carabinear style hook and magnet in the back so can be hanged or attached easily. I used it on many occasions also for reading. Once fully charged the battery lasts a very long time. Great in case of emergency power outage.

This is much better. I returned the decathlon lamp. Remote control and dimmable light really came in handy

The magnets were not strong enough to hold the light in place a slid of the fridge! Light seemed dim but will use it for a while before commenting further.
