LE lanterns

[Yorkshire Andy]

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

It lights the living room well on its own

This is the newer model with usb C input

Run it last night from dusk (8pm ish and was still shining brightly at just before midnight)

Can't fault it for the price........

This is the battery version but all the features are the same

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

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?

More than one solar panel

That's the big folding one.....

Then there's over 800w worth on my shed roof

Plus 3x folding panels

A couple of cheap chinese flexible ones
.and a pile of power banks not forgetting the power stations

And car usb chargers
