Customer Reviews

Rechargeable lantern
I don't particularly care for the charging procedure. You have to plug an extension cord into the back of the lantern. Another feature I don't particularly like is the way you lock the light on -- so the beam shines the full time. It basically takes two hands to turn the lantern on and to keep it on-- one to hold the button the other to push the little button in the lock position.

I think it will last a good while. It is heavy duty. The weight is pretty heavy too-- I wouldn't want to take it on a backpacking trip.

All in all I think it was a descent purchase-- only time will tell.

Handy Rechargeable Spotlight
I am a bit of a flashlight nut... I go for walks at night or go geocaching at night... this is a very bright lantern and lasts over an hour. Recharging is easy .... It has a nice "feel" and carries well. It is heavy to carry on long walks but good for spotting "things" off in the bushes... so the weight is a trade off for a lot of light. Has a small LED lamp for less light and longer life when needed.
Update: February 2007
This light is still going strong and I still use it for night walks when things are wet and difficult to see. Charger is built in so it is handy to recharge. Recommend.

Dark future for a bright product
I was very disappointed with this lantern. I was looking for a bright handy flashlight that was rechargeable. No easy task.
There are not many on the market to choose from.
The "Built in AC Charger" is a plug that sticks out of one end of the unit. It took a few tries, but eventually I found an extension cord that fit on the unit so I could charge it.
The unit is bulky, the on/off switch is not intuitive or sensible.
I gave it 2 stars because, well, the light is nice....
