These are awesome. I've never used lanterns, I found them to be so easy to use. I just placed them in my window in bright sunlight for a day or two, and when I turned them on, Wow! The light was so bright. I happen to have had a power outage in my neighborhood. These were the perfect solution . the light from the lanterns were so bright, I didn't need candle backup. The light from the lanterns lasted for at least over an hour until the lights came back on. They are well made, they can also be charged. I loved the price, which is very reasonable. And I am really glad I made this purchase. I would definitely recommend this item. Read more
The perfect lantern for power outages, or when your utility company asks you to save energy for a few hours at peak periods, camping, and more. If you've ever relied on candles or old-fashioned oil lamps during extended power outages, you know how unpleasant the air can get -- kerosine, cheap candle wax, or heavily scented candles can make the air feel and smell heavy over extended use time. And consider the risks of flames. Set those concerns aside and add LED camping lanterns from Xtauto to your survival/camping gear. They ARE lightweight, easily charge by USB, and the charge lasts an incredibly long time. Whether used as a flashlight or lantern, the light is bright enough to easily read by, set up gear, light a dark area for safe walking, etc. The one thing I haven't needed to do (yet) is to try using the solar recharge system. I bought a 4-pack of lanterns to use in a number of areas in the house during emergencies. Again, it is amazing how long these lanterns hold a charge -- MONTHS (when fully charged and stored), and HOURS when in use. No need to fumble with small or awkward on/off switches, either -- just adjust the carry handles to the Up position and pull on the body to activate the lantern. Or, press the button on the side of the base and the flashlight is on! Easy to charge, easy to use, powerful light, a great find! Read more
First, I just want to thank the seller, because I received the product the day before the day I needed it. I ordered this item to use lighting the basement while cleaning after the flood. And my oh my!!!!! This product did a very good job. I use the flashlight. Very good lighting. Very bright and able to see the whole space of the room, because the bright light not just lighting the space you are pointing it too but the surrounding spaces, as well. What I love the most of this product is very lightweight. Very easy to use. Hold the charge very well. The size isn't big or bulky, but when you are a small woman with a carpal tunnel.... this is suitable for you. I love how versatile this product is. This has two charging function that is awesome, especially when your there is no electricity. This can be charged under the sun. Though it takes forever to fully charge but hey I take what I can as long as I can use it without waiting for the electricity to comes back. Very small looking lantern, but very very helpful. I am highly recommending this to anyone needs a light helper. And as long as I am ready to send my Balikbayan box to the Philippines, I will be buying some more to send it to my family that are fishermen. Because this is not just good inside the house but is very good for outdoor light and this is a waterproof, so, it is not going to get wet while on the ocean. Which is very helpful for all the fishermen. I will recommend this product, who needs a little bit of light. Read more
The lanterns feel extremely lightweight. Theybare easy to use and and will come in handy during a power outage. We did have an issue were one of the 4 was not fully functional. I like that it can charge via wire or solar, makes it great for camping also! I added a photo next to a pop can for size comparison. Read more
I purchased these ahead of the snowstorm that hit about 35 states this past January. Fortunately we did not have any power outages so I did not have to use them, but they came out of the box ready to go. They will light up a whole room on the strength of the solar charger alone. I keep them in the window so they're consistently charged, and haven't had to plug them in to maintain the power. Power. They're a perfect size for kids and adults alike. I would definitely recommend these as a housewarming gift for folks who need supplies for an emergency van or a power outage. I also keep one in my vehicle just in case I end up on the side of the road at night. Read more
These are great lamps. Solar powered and very bright as a lamp and reasonably bright as a flashlight. Can also be charged via USB or used as a USB charger as well. All at an incredibly low price Read more
These lights are don’t feel real sturdy and feel kinda cheap BUT they do give off a good bit of light and work as intended. They do have a major CON though. There is no battery level indicator. We will have no idea when the batteries are about to drain and need recharging. As I have not had a chance to use them in an emergency yet I don’t know how long they last before they drain or how long it takes to charge via solar. Another con is for everyday use like walking the dog or whatever it doesn’t fit well in your hand as a flashlight. It’s bulky for that with no side handle to hold it as a flashlight. But as a lantern for camping or emergencies it will do. I think I will keep these as I got them on sale and for the price I paid they are decent. I will keep looking for a solar rechargeable flashlight that will work for everyday use as a flashlight and not just a lantern. You can never be too prepared to have too may light sources. Read more
These are so handy and work well. Have gifted these members of my family many times and will probably purchase again. The size, quality of light and durability are all great! Read more
