Smaller than I thought from photo. Easy to use and a nice bright light. Easily holds a good charge and don’t take long for a full charge. The red light is a bit dim but in really dark places is a good beacon especially if stuck in rural areas. Nice that you can charge you phone with it. Bit like a powerbank but with a glorified light on it.
I’m not a huge camper (maybe once or twice per year) so if you’re more die-hard for canvas then your mileage may vary. For me, though, this is a great lamp. The only downside is it feels plasticky and not flawlessly finished, but for the price that’s more than to be expected. All in all, I’m a happy camper.
Ideal for power cuts, in unlit spaces such as the loft and a good torch beam. Also has red and red flashing lantern. Also has a lower light facility to reduce battery use.
Would highly recommend this.
Multi light can have it really bright or dimmer. Great hung up or to use as a torch.
Can even charge your phone from it.
Definitely a must to have for camping or just to have in the car as it has a flashing red setting on it for emergencies/ break dow
I bought this to replace a heavy duty torch i used for work, i wouldn’t call this heavy duty but it does the job fine, charge lasts for a decent length of time and you can hang it up if you need too, it’s bright but not too bright like alot of lights today. 4 stars because i’m not saying it’s unbeatable but i have not found anything to complain about…oh i think you can charge your phone off it!
It is a little smaller than I thought it would be but still works very well, it is great for camping and using when working on cars or in my shed when I need extra light. I haven’t needed to charge it yet so can not comment on that but seems to hold the original charge well.
Great lantern/light. Handy, it had 2 settings for brightness front light and 360 light. Very bright. You can hang it or set it down. The handle makes sure it stays in place. It’s a good power bank as well. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend
I have been looking for one of these torches for ages, and I am ver pleased with my purchase. A usb cable is included for easy charging, and there is red indicator light which turns from red to blue when fully charged. Can be used as a torch, or lantern. a single charge lasts for quite a few hours. Handels nicely. Considering buying a second one. Top marks !!
We’ve had many camping lights over the years, from the gas powered ones – which I like, but are a hazard in these days of lightweight tents – to rechargables, one using a lead-acid battery which was good, but heavy. Others have come and gone along the way.
This is touted as an all-in-one camping light and ticks the boxes. I guess you could use it for other lighting needs as well, but it does seem to be designed with cmping in mind, so I’ll stick with that.
Charging is fairly quick and if you’re car camping, you could chrage it via a USB socket while you’re travelling or over night. Works in reverse too, it will provide emergency power for your phone if required to. The battery is quite big, (3600mAH) so there’s capacity. as an aside, I quite like, and look for this USB functionalty, means when we are travelling we can charge phones etc while driving, charge external battery packs to give phone and this lamp back up and we’re not tied to finding mains electricity on a campsite.
The lamp is claimed to be waterproof. I didn’t really test this, it withstood a shower, and it’s quite tough looking. Once again, haven’t tested this to destruction, but it’s rattled around with other camping stuff and still works fine.
As with many modern LED illumination, there’s different modes, these you have to run through everytime you switch it on and off – which is a minor pain. Also it has torch mode, general diffused lighting and a red mode for a warning light.
Overall, it’s a welcome addition to our equipment. It’s pushed the heavy one out for recycling (it gave much poorer illumination anyway) the ony issue I can see is that I might want another to spread the light.
I have been using this lamp while if have used my telescope at night as it has a red light feature which is great for that use due to the light not affecting your vision. The given out is not overly powerful in any of the settings but bright enough to light up your way at night or for chilling out around camp with. It’s pretty lightweight and is great for emergency use to charge up your phone etc.
overall it’s not a bad lamp for the price.
This lamp works well with a bright powerful light. It is a useful emergency lamp to be kept in the car and in an emergency could be recharged from the car battery. Slight niggles are that the curved carrying handle is mounted the wrong way round and the charging cable is separate from the lamp compared with my other similar lamp from another supplier where the charging lead is neatly attached permanently to the body of the lamp. The loose charging lead can easily get separated from the lamp.
This torch is nice and lightweight and it has 6 Lighting Modes- Front flashlight: High Light Mode (350lm)/Low Light Mode (120lm). Side Lantern: Full Bright (360 degree)/Half Bright (180 degree)/Red Light (stay on)/Strobe Red Light (SOS signal for emergency). The rubber switch lets you click through to each mode. It is also rechargeable which is great as it means you don’t have to buy batteries. It does feel a little cheap to me, but it currently works well.
This torch is mainly made of a hard, durable plastic, apart from around the headlight, which is rubberised. It come with a USB-A to Micro-USB charger cable and there is a rubberised cap which covers the Micro-USB charging port and USB-A port for charging devices. You also get a handy S-clip for hanging it up.
It has a smallish pop-out handle along the side and a pop-out hanging ring at one end.
The light is control via a single button, which light up blue when the torch is on and red when charging and you push-scroll through it to choose the light type: Bright Headlight, Medium Headlight, Bright Lantern, Medium Lantern, Red Lantern and Flashing Red Lantern.
The bright lantern is easily bright enough to light up a room approx. 3.5m x 5.5m and the headlight is also pretty bright.
You can use this to charge a mobile device, but that rate is very flow. I tried it with My Samsung phone and was getting about 0.21A. To put that into context, fast charging is 2.4A.
You can recharge this torch via a powerbank, if the powerbank has a larger battery than this lamp at 3,600mAh, you will get a full charge.
Overall, I think this is a decent lantern/torch and reasonably priced at 16.99
I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.
NB. For a sizing guide, squares in photos are 1cm.
The camping lantern is well manufactured and light to hold, weighing at 347g its light enough to hang from the inside of a tent.
The lantern is simple to operate using one button for all the modes, first press of the button turns on the main beam at 350 lumen that is capable for most camping activities and offers a nice small beam, 2nd press will alter the main beam to a low light at 120 lumens, the 3rd press will turn on the lantern effect that lights up the whole lantern at full power and 360 degrees of light, 4th press half light and 180 degrees of light, 5th press will turn the lantern red colour then the final press will give off an SOS red light.
Whilst using the lantern light mode with the front beam facing down on a flat surface the lantern is stable and offers a very good 360 degrees of light.
The lantern has a handle that folds up when using the main beam and away when using it as a lantern, the handle is a little uncomfortable when holding but the lantern is light enough for it not to be of any great issue.
You can hang the lantern up and also clip it wherever you would like with the supplied clip.
The lantern is IP44 water resistant but I wouldn’t leave it out in the rain but can be used for brief periods of time whilst raining.
The lantern is rechargeable and offers a 3600mAh battery that will last around 4 hours on full brightness, it can be charged using the provided micro-USB cable at the top of the lantern under the rubber cap and takes 4-5 hours to fully charge, it can also be used as an emergency power bank for your phone.
Overall, I like the portability of the light and the modes, you can’t adjust the main beam size but this is okay, this would be handy keeping in the boot of your car for emergencies and is perfect for camping, thank you.
Made from plastic it feels sturdy enough to take the odd knock. It is very simple to operate as there is only one button. Multiple presses will then cycle through the different light settings. I’ve included a little video which I hope you find helpful.
The main torch light is very bright and has a good beam and the lantern setting is equally bright with good 360 degree coverage.
Charging is done via a micro USB port and the single button shows as Red when charging before changing to Blue when fully charged. There is also a USB A port that you can use to charge your phone although it is not a fast charge and my phone confirmed that by stating “Charging slowly”
One minor gripe is that the USB cover could be a bit tighter as it is quite easy to open and I worry that it could be knocked open accidentally, which would not be good if exposed to rain/moisture.
Another moan is the included carabina is plastic which is a shame as again a full metal one would have felt better and more secure.
Finally the red Strobe mode is just that, a constant steady strobe. It is not an SOS sequence signal flash of three short flashes, three long flashes followed by three short flashes.
Otherwise it’s very good. You can hang it, desk/floor stand it both horizontally or vertically, attach it to a bag or carry it by the carry handle.
