Good product, bright light, uses 6 AAA's By Curiously Miserable from (San Diego) on 08/14/2008 Pros: Adjustable Beam, Adjustable Brightness, Bright, Durable, Stable Cons: AAA's prone to leakage, Bulky, In a warm climate, Low battery life, Uses 6 AAA batteries Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking, Lantern vice room light, Substitute for large Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend My biggest concern is the use of 6 AAA's, in a warm climate, AAA's are prone to early leakage no matter what brand you use.
A better design would be to make it a bit larger in the battery compartment and use AA's which don't leak as much or as soon under heavy current loads as AAA's do, plus they would tend to last a bit longer, the other option could be designing it to use 3 C batteries instead of 6 AAA's, C's can handle current draw better than AA's, but since I'm just a consumer, what do I know about size & weight trade-offs when designing a flashlight/lantern with these capabilities?
I use it instead of a room light so I can read
my mg levels at night so I don't disturb my wife.
By Casual camper. from Woodhaven, MI on 08/07/2008 Pros: Adjustable Beam, Bright, Durable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Haven't used it much yet, but plan on it during camping.
By PJTramdack from New Castle PA on 08/04/2008 Pros: Adjustable Beam, Bright, Long battery life, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was looking for a flashlight that would also serve as a lantern in my small camper-- this really appears to be a perfect solution. Very reasonable price and its rated battery life is generous-- because there is a low power setting. This also would be handy to keep around the house for emergencies. Note this uses six batteries not three as the product description may state.
