I've become a big fan of Coleman's LED Lanterns.  However, I learned the hard way that a lower price for a lantern comes because there's no battery pack included.  Stupid mistake on my part as having the rechargeable battery pack is the primary reason for buying the LED lanterns AND these battery packs aren't stocked in the stores where the lanterns are sold.  Being able to get them on Amazon for a reasonable price is a life saver.  With these battery packs, I've followed the directions for charging them up and running them down a couple of times right at the start and had great results.  These things really hold a charge while running the LED lanterns.  I've had them on for many a long night up here in AK.

I decided to spend the extra money to get this Black Diamond lantern instead of a cheaper alternative and I'm very glad I did. This lantern is very well designed and high quality.

Great Features:

Split ring on top: Ever had a lantern with a ring on top to hang it and a loop in your tent, with no way to connect them? Not with this! The ring on top is a split ring, which means one side forms a hook one way, the other side the other way so that when they are both up, it is a ring, but you can hook it onto a loop in your tent without further connections.  Furthermore, the two parts fold down flat with the top of the lantern when not in use.

Dimmer: You can push the power button once to just turn the lantern on, or push and hold and the lantern will dim and brighten to your desired level.

Collapses: The picture shows the lantern full extended. The top part slides down until the gray ring covers the power button. The lantern can be used in this position, the mirrors in the middle are designed to reflect light even when the top is collapsed.

Weatherproof: I don't know what kind of guarantees the manufacturer makes on this, but the lantern is clearly well designed for being exposed to weather.  The gray ring at the base of the lantern shade is made of rubber, helping keep any water out. The power button is rubber as well. The bottom of the lantern (from the bottom up to the first small gray ring you see is all one piece, so the lantern could sit in almost an inch of water without any fear of water leaking in.

Power Efficient: We've taken this lantern on several camping trips and used it for several power failures, we have yet to replace the battery.

Easy on the eyes: LEDs can be painful on the eyes if you look at them directly. This lantern shade has enough obscureness to prevent that, but at the same time clearly lets the maximum amount of light through - its not just plastic which is colored white, its clear plastic with a special either coating or surface on the inside to cause the light to refract enough for comfort.

Bright: This is a very bright lantern! It easily illuminates a campsite at night by itself. Works fabulous hung from the ceiling of our screen house.

I have nothing bad to say about this sucker - I feel like it was money very well spent!

These lanterns were a great gift and a big hit this past Summer. We lit them off the dock. They flew so high and far over the lake, we weren't able to spot them come down. The orange color seems to look the best in the night sky. It takes two people to send them off and it'd good to have a large lighting wand/big hand held lighter for best launching results.

I bought my first pack of lanterns a couple of years ago and found they are great for power outages. I have now bought them several times since to give to friends and family as gifts.

Purchased this lantern for my patio table. It looks great, not like those cheap plastic lanterns, and feels solid, not too light. You simply give it a full charge by exposing it to daylight, then switch it on. The lantern lights up automatically when it gets dark.

The light it not very bright and is blue-ish. It is bright enough to sit on the patio and drink, smoke etc. but not bright enough to eat or read. For the price, you probably can't expect more. I love the fact that it is solar powered.

I gave this to my husband as part of his Christmas gift. He is into camping and packing as light as possible and this worked fantastically. The light is very bright and the fact that this lantern folds the way it does and works so well is awesome. He was super happy with his gift which means I am super happy with my purchase. This is a great addition to his camping/backpacking supplies.

I've used this lantern indoors when the power went out. It's adequate for that purpose and provides more light than my old Coleman fluorescent lantern - and the batteries are much cheaper. However, I would not recommend this lantern for outdoor use. The on/off knob fell off when I picked it up a bit carelessly. I was able to pop the knob back on, but I was not impressed by what this told me about the build quality of the lantern. Still, I think it's a very good value for the price. The light level is adjustable; the lantern sits firmly on the base, which is weighted nicely by the four D cell batteries it uses. There is an outlet on the base for plugging in an alternate energy source, but it came with no power adaptor for that purpose, reasonably so, I suppose, since there is no knowing what power source might be used with it. Better, I think, to keep extra D cell batteries on hand.

It will suffice to say that I was so impressed with the lantern that I purchased two more for gifts!

Bright lantern and a great value.  I bought 4 of these and I might buy more to give away for emergencies.

Great lantern/light, especially for the price. Also love that it runs on AA batteries. Bought two, one being for a friend, and they also loved it.

Loved this light/lantern so much I ordered 15 of them along with lots of AA batteries to donate to the victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. They're being shipped directly to a supply collection center in Tampa. I ordered pink so I could order more of them due to the lower price. This is a great way to contribute!

This is a unique and clever lantern that works perfectly fine at our backyard fire pit and for camping.  It has two very strong lights and several ways in which they can be used.

What's so unique about it? It can be charged by the sun when you don't have access to electricity and then you can take that charge and charge another device with it. OR it can be charged by plugging into an electric outlet (AC adapter that plugs into American outlets) and then again, you can plug another device into it for charging, using a standard USB cable (not included) . Be aware, though, that the cord needed to plug it into the wall is proprietary and can only be used with this lantern - without the plug, you will only be able to charge via the sun.

It can be held pointing forward, like a flashlight or it can be held upright like a typical lantern. The lights are white and bright. There were no directions included with my lantern so I can only go by what's on the box, which had a warning that said "220V recharger. DC charging do not use a mobile phone charging in order to avoid too much electricity damage the phone" and showed a photo of a plug that would not work in an American outlet, so take that however you will ;)

I was looking for a good headlamp for hunting and camping and this one really fits the niche.  It is on the low end of price, but it is high value so far.  It is super bright, and easy to use.  I am considering now ordering the other product, the pocket bonfire from the same company.  It could be a 5 star, but i have a couple concerns.  The red ring around the outside is a little annoying, as it does illuminate your face, but they acknowledgment this and put in the instructions that it can be disabled with black electrical tape or a rubber band.  Even still, I am not sure what the purpose of this feature is anyway.  Also, I am concerned with it's durabilty, it seems a little plasticy... like cheap rayovacs walmart sells, but that could just be appearance.  If it lasts me 2 years it would be worth it and I would buy another.  If it craps out before that, I will update this review.

I was very excited to get this camping lantern. I went camping recently been and thought how nice it would have been to have a nice small light to hang from the hook on the top of the tent. All of the lights/lanterns I had were either to heavy or too big or didn't have a hook . This lantern fills that need perfectly and much more. When I go camping I try to stuff all I need in my backpack. So this can lead to things getting a little tight. I may have to leave items in the car or leave something out of my bag entirely to make other lanterns fit. Not with this lantern/flashlight. It is very very very compact. It is about the size of an ash tray/hockey puck or can of tobacco chew. You can pack about 4 or 5 of these lights in the same place you will use for any other lamp. This United Time flashlight/lantern is also very lightweight so it will only add minimum weight to your bag. The light is pretty strong and it has a high low and flashing setting.  In all, it is a great light and I plan to buy a few more and stack up my bag with them.  When you open the light it pops up into a nice lantern and it also can be used when it's closed as a very bright flashlight.  It is an excellent light lantern for camping.  I received this product at a discount or reduced  price in return for my honest opinion.

These portable emergency led lanterns are really nice. The light is pretty strong and white.

I am reviewing this lantern under the Etekcitizen program offered by Etekcity.  At first I was concerned that the advertisement showed a two lantern package and I only received on lanterrn.  I emailed the manufacurer and recieved an immediate reply indicating they were only sending out one lantern for the product reviews, after all it was free...made sense to me.  Having used the lantern for a few days now, I am impressed with the "ruggedness" and simplicity of operation.  At first the small size concerned me but the flood of light amazed me.  I am slowly finding out when it comes to LED small isn't necessarily bad.  Have not had the opportunity to use the lamp in a real world camping scnario yet but that will come later this summer.  In the mean time it is handy for when the lights go out due to our current windy, stormy weather.  Great little lantern to play cards by during these storm events.  I look forward to future products from Etekcity and I already have purchased the bluetooth doorbell and emegency lighting from them.  As part of this "free purchase I also recieved a personal water filter purifier but have not had a need to use this yet.  I will review it after I have a chance to use it.

We now give these lights as gifts. Very bright light, packable and easy to use. Haven't tried it on bears yet, but certainly seems to be alarming in strobe mode to people.  Even has an SOS feature--takes a little learning curve, but an extremely good value for the price.
