Big bang in a little package Jul 29, 2010
Was very surprised with the size when I first saw it. I expected much bigger size for 300 lumens.
Actually gasped at how bright it was when I first got it on.
Very very bright and looks well built. Worth the money!

 Quality Control Problem Jul 26, 2010
The first lantern I received had something inside of it that rattled around. Didn't affect the lantern that I could tell, but why take a chance on what is meant to be an "emergency" light source. I returned it and received another. On the second lantern the "EZ Find Light", a green LED the blinks when the lantern is not in use, was not lined up with the small plastic lens. The LED was set too high, above the opening, thus making the LED very hard to see as only the bottom eighth or so was directly in line with the lens. It was blinking, but even in full darkness only visible if the lantern was above your line of sight. Rayovac has some quality control issues.

Outstanding little lantern Jul 25, 2010
I was surprised at the small size of the lantern. However, the light output is amazing and the dimming and strobe feature is very handy. As far as the battery cover, line up the red arrows, twist and presto it's done. There was no blinking "find it light" in the model I received. Very satisfied. I ordered three more, an additional one for me and two for my son who was impressed as well.

This sucker rocks!!! Jul 19, 2010
Let me start by saying I'm an avid camper and need the brightest light possible. I hate using coleman gas lanterns becaue a)i'm a little frightened by them and b)fire and tent don't mix I have been using this lantern for well over a year now after doing tons of research on lanterns. I have dropped this lantern with the lens off as well as on and have used it 100s of times from camping to doing work on my boat at night. Let me tell you this little lantern not only takes a beating from but lasts forever. It puts out super bright light without blinding you and is gentle on the 3d batteries it uses. Case and point last week I was cleaning my garage and left the light on in the basement and accidently left it there for a week after I had gone camping (missed it) and I got back a week later and it was still going after I had used it multiple times before. The only negative thing I have to say is it works better without the lens upside down for the most effective light and I also use it with a standard GE lantern I got from costco (non replaceable lens) to crate low light (ge) high light (rayovac). This light is awesome for emergencies and camping. Just as a proof on the effectiveness off longevity I use the cheap ass dollar tree D cells for batteries and they have lasted over a year. Lowes has these for cheap if you want one quick.

Nice, bright, inexpensive lantern Jul 14, 2010
We got one of these and liked it so much we bought another to keep in our emergency kit. Seems sturdy and well made, especially for the price, and works great. The battery cover is slightly fussy to put on, as others have noted, but really not a problem, and with the awesome battery life on this critter, you won't be doing that often!
