LE Rechargeable LED Lantern, Camping Essentials, 1000LM, 5 Light Modes, Power Bank, IPX4 Waterproof, Lantern Flashlight for Hurricane Emergency, Hiking, Home and More, USB Cable Included

This is going to be VERY helpful should we need it again with an 11-day power outage! It's VERY light weight, not bulky and heavy. If you put together an emergency box, it sure won't contribute much to the weight if you have to make a quick exit.During the last hurricane, we needed much better interior lighting. With the front and side lights, we can stand it on end to get light bouncing off the ceiling, too.The light arrived charged, so it was nice to check it's light as soon as we got it. Not sure how long it takes to recharge it or aerobic charged. Instructions say to charge it once every three months if we haven't used it. But we're going to try to find reasons to use it so that we're sure the battery stays charged. Instructions also say if the light hasn't been used in 12 months, please stop using it to avoid safety hazards. (???)If we're ever without power again for such a long time (11dsys), we'll still have to charge it in a vehicle. But it will be so nice to have a bright enough light in the house to see each other at night!It recharges with a USB cord, and computers sure won't be working without power. Now I wish I'd gone ahead and bought the solar powered charger during prime days, too!

My husband and I purchased this flashlight for our son in 2021. I liked it so well, I requested and received the same item as a gift the next year. I primarily keep it in my vehicle for emergencies. I’ve also used it on my son’s forested property to find the dogs. I’m writing this review on January 11, 2025; more than two years since receiving it. In that time, despite being left in extreme heat and cold, I’ve never needed to recharge it. It continues to function as well as the day I received it. The flashlight can be recharged using the included usb cable, which will be very useful in my vehicle. There are four settings. The high beam is very powerful and lights the forest amazingly well. The low beam has been useful to light the immediate vicinity when I’m engaged in activities in the dark, like putting collars on the dogs. I feel secure knowing the red flashing light can alert other drivers if I’m stalled on the side of the road. It functions well. The side light isn’t bright enough to do more than, for example, jot a note. It doesn’t provide enough light to illuminate fine details. I have yet to charge my phone battery using the port on the flashlight, but I’m grateful to have that option. It’s lightweight, which is useful to me when I’m leading the dogs into the house. I can hold the flashlight and lead(s) in the same hand. I also appreciate the strap on the flashlight that allows me carry the flashlight hands-free as it lights the path to my destination while carrying bundles and large boxes. I’m pleased with this flashlight and recommend it to those who are considering a purchase.

So I've bought 6 of these and passed them out as Christmas gifts.But only because my first one was such a great long lasting light.I love its luminous power that uses hardly any power.All 6 still work flawlessly after 4 yr's.So it looks like they've done away with the decals to lower the price which is fine even though I liked the decals.I have some simi-truck reflector tape that I will use to spruce up my new just ordered 7th light.Ya, they are that good!Watch the videos if you what to learn more, I just wanted to express my satisfaction of this great light.In an emergency, your mother, brother or other family units will be smiling.

Received this product today, charged it up and tested it tonight. I'll say upfront my favorite searchlight is the Stanly Fatmax, which for the past 2 years, has been used on a nightly basis to check for coyotes and other critters prior to letting the dogs outside to do their business (no worries dog lovers, they have a fenced in yard for protection). We live in a rural area, tonight is overcast (i.e. no moonlight) and turned exterior lighting off. Side by side comparison, the Fatmax was brighter with better distance and I definitely prefer the handgrip on the Fatmax.With that said, if I was looking for decent searchlight for emergencies, camping, etc. and didn't need a high performance light, I'd opt for the LE over Fatmax due to the nearly $20 price difference. I haven't tested the battery life, so can't comment on the longevity. Here's some specifics:PROS:1. The spotlight is far reaching - could see the back fencepost about 300 yards away and was satisfied with the brightness.2. The lantern feature is a plus (Fatmax doesn't have one), the brightness is ok - tested the high setting in our one car garage - it illuminated the space sufficiently to see in 3 of the 4 corners.3. Will probably never use the flashing red light but nice to know it's there if the need arises.4. Lightweight - surprisingly light!5. The price is right @ $26.30 as compared to the high price of the Fatmax (as of tonight, Fatmax @ $55 - I paid $39 for my 2nd Fatmax only 2 weeks ago).CONS:1. Was disappointed with the "spread" of the beam - I was expecting a larger diameter beam because the lens on the unit is so large. The spread of the beam was noticeably smaller than Fatmax.2. The lantern is just ok - it's only on one side of the unit so it doesn't cast light 360 degrees like a standard lantern. Personally, I wish they would've used both side of the unit instead of one side being utilized for the flashing red light.
