We found this too dim to be actually useful for anything beyond the very very immediate around right near/close to it (as shown in some of the photos). It will not light up a general area like other lanterns. If you want to read in the dark using this, you will struggle

It is a very long lasting lantern though, that's the trade off. It's more of a "glow light" so to speak than a lantern

Notice the title on the product page, dropping "hurricane" in it to try and get more search hits. rather pathetic

if you're a flashlight junkie, get a diffuser and set your lumens however you like, with endless 18650's or whatever you use you're set forever. They make compatible ones for most any model. I have a $3 one for my sp36 pro that works great (adjustable brightness and three 18650's with a usb-c port.. yah it's overkill and I regret buying it but as a lantern it's really amazing.)

There's a picture where some goober took a marker to dim the LEDs inside. Don't do that: The marker can cause heat buildup which will shorten the life of the LEDs, plus the ink will actually seep into the LED housing and can potentially kill the emitter. These are minor concerns on a cheap item like this, but I've seen this in high end stuff (automotive headlamps)

Anyway, there's good info in the reviews. Three LEDs. the wiring means all three fire even with 2 batteries. Another review says "there is only about a 15% difference in brightness if 2 or 4 batteries are used". They hit the voltage barrier threshold and that's it.

This thing is cheap inside, but for $6.20 it's a good deal.

Overall rating of 4.6 / 5 stars. I just bought one to have on hand for power outages (can be used for camping as well).

Interesting that it can run of 2x AAs or 4x. Is the output lower with 2 or something? Or does it just not run for as long?

Grab a couple of these for next hurricane season. Going a week at a time without power is shit. Now put those predator silent generators on sale.

Cool, $50 more than the 3500. My buddy had that one running and you could almost not hear it. Good for when you are trying to not let the entire neighborhood know you are running a generator.

i am truly shocked how good the predator inverter gens have gotten as a whole there.

i remember the early days, when they would brick after a while.

of course they have also become a lot more expensive
