StarLight LED Camping Lantern - Water Resistant - Shock Proof - Long Lasting Up To 6 DAYS - 1000 Lumens Ultra Bright

I purchased this AYL Starlight Lantern as a precautionary light source should my elderly Mom experience a temporary loss of power. I chose this lantern for it's easy to carry size and design to help extended battery life during use. It's very easy to operate. By just depressing the button she can choose two levels of brightness. You can also engage the function where the lantern will flash on and off repeatedly. This is ideal should a visual alert be needed in a state of emergency. What's really clever and much appreciated is the small green light located near the power button that continually and intermittently flashes even when the lantern is turned off. This feature makes it easy to find in the darkness. For its size, this compact lantern gives off a bright, room filling light. I'm impressed with the overall quality especially at this reasonable price. I've posted some photos and hope that they, along with my experience, helps you out a bit with your choice. I'm impressed with value and honestly believe you will be too! Thank you.

I own about 50 lanturn, about 45 are Coleman oil lanturns and about 5 battery powered lanturn. This lanturn right here is by far my BRIGHTEST battery powered lanturn, it may even be brighter than all my lanturns to be honest. I've noticed with lots of battery powered lanturns majority of the light is either focus up or down. Well I have really good news for you. This lanturn right here is just about flush all the way around 360*. As far as your eye can see, this light lanturn can shine your way through it all. I had 2 lanturns on a 500 and a 600 lumen lanturn lit both at my night fishing spot, well I decided to test which of my 3 lanturns were brighter. I turned this one on, hands down blew them out of the water. There was no competition, I can't can't describe how bright this lanturn is, it over powered 1,100 lumens of light. May I also add, I thought this lanturn was going to be a large decent size lanturn like my others. I was wrong, this thing is small/medium size. It's very compact. Takes less battery's and light more. I just can't cover everything this lanturn can do rather than others on the market. If you gave me this lanturn and told me to guess it's retail sell, I'd tell you $70-100 range. Quality is 8-10 some parts could've made beefier but it is more than plenty. Please do yourself a favor, buy this lanturn I'd you do any camping, hiking,fishing, or anything at night. You won't regret it.

The unit is very sturdy and looks like it can handle any situation. The black colored parts are a hard rubber that will take considerable impact without the lantern being damaged. It uses 3 D batteries which makes it heavier than models that use AA batteries. But, D batteries last considerably longer in use so that far outweighs the weight difference in my view. The main issue with all these lanterns is the actual brightness. Forget trying to translate lumens, luminous flux, bulb wattage (which is a measure of power use, not light), LED panels vs bulbs and so forth. You will be totally in the dark so to speak. Here's the poop. This lantern has a low and high selection with the high stated at 600 lumens, the low selection is about 400 lumens which makes light equivalent to a 40 watt incandescent bulb in a light fixture. 600 is roughly equivalent to a 50 watt bulb. That should give you a perspective on how bright it will light up a room. A camping tent will be very bright. Your living room not so but you can still do most functions without problem. Much better than an ordinary flashlight and you can sit it down so as not to do everything one handed. It has a handle for carrying and hook for hanging. Overall, a lantern like this is essential in a power outage situation. The downside on this lantern is installing the batteries. You have to align arrows and marks. Sounds simple but these are on the inside of the lantern and you can't see them as you try to close the base. The battery posts are on a rotating mount which spins freely. So, you align the arrows looking from the outside. As soon as you move the base to attach it, the mount rotates and the arrows no longer align. On an on you go until you get lucky. If the lights go out, you will not get it assembled in the dark. So, you have to put it together and leave it ready for future use. It has a little pilot light that blips constantly burning off the batteries but they state batteries will last 2 years on standby.

As a commercial electrician with 30+ years in the field, I know a little something about lighting. My crew and I just upgraded a 54 story office building with 14,000 lighting fixtures with LED technology. LED lights generate very little heat, so the majority of the energy is converted into usable light. This lantern is a good example of how we can get the most bang for the buck. It's surprisingly bright in Low Mode, very bright in High Mode and has the added Strobe Light feature that is very desirable for emergency situations. I got this for my mother-in-law who just moved into Senior Housing last year and could use a bed-stand emergency lantern in the event of a power outage or to rummage through her basement storage locker. Everyone in my family knows I've been a flashlight fanatic forever and a day. Nothing speaks to personal safety more than adequate lighting, especially in the electrical field. Couple this lantern with some top notch Pro Cell batteries and you have an unbeatable camping or household emergency standby lantern. I'm ordering more for others in my family who don't have backup generators. Here in the Pacific NorthWest region, you can count on power outages. For twenty bucks, you can't beat this compact, powerful lantern.

I ended up buying 2 of these for my camping trips. Great bright lamp from a family owned company. well made, bright, long lasting. Even has a small light that flashes around the on button to help you find it in the dark. This company has a even brighter version, that is orange, and more costly. I have been looking to buy that one next.

Just got this lamp, don’t know if it is water proof or how long the battery will last., so far so good. Got it very quickly and good value for the lamps.

It works. It's smaller than the photo depicts. I would give it 5 stars if the seller didn't give me a used one. I don't know if it's Amazon's fault for repackaging a product or the sellers, but if I'm buying used they should let me know
