Not much to say but im bloody impressed by these and well most know i like torches and lanterns. So i like to think im reasonably qualified on the subject
Hmm specs say 2x 18650 cells but also description says built in battery, so one of them is wrong.
Powerbank functionality nice, so long as you're willing to tolerate no light but a charged phone (!).
Good that it has warm and cold white LED Settings, nothing irks me more thank horrible blue glare from HID/LED lamps, especially when cooking/eating.
Doesn't look too bad for £22, I'm up to my eyeballs in torches/headlamps/lanterns else I'd be sorely tempted- options for decent LED lanterns are fairly limited.

It's 2x 18650s in a shrink wrapped cell package
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong
Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
I just have a couple of cheap solar ones. Not sure how long they last, or how bright they are. I have a few torches, of course. But I don't have a family. Those lanterns would be useful in a blackout. But for long term, presumably you have a solar panel to charge them?

A couple of cheap chinese flexible ones
