Very bright lantern with 3 modes. Compact and lightweight. Good price.

I did a lot of research before I selected this EVER Lighting lantern. There are a half dozen or more of these same platforms all more or less the same. Each has minor differences and an amazing difference in price. This one is the least expensive.I immediately liked the lantern - it was everything I wanted. It became one of my most favorite lights, but about a year into it the lantern suddenly stopped working - the LED just flickered, trying to turn on but it couldn't. It looked like a fluorescent light with a bad starter. I'm thinking the controller wasn't putting out enough regulated power to fire the LED. Or the LED failed.I was bummed that my light died. And since I didn't know the warranty (and still don't) I contacted the Mfg. They said I'd have to go through the vendor who sold me the product, which was Neon Mart.I contacted Neon Mart and they quickly responded and sent me an entire new light. Which works wonderfully. Its one thing to have a defective product, it can happen to anyone. But its the after-the-sale customer service that makes the difference and Neon Mart certainly stepped up the mark. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again and I recommend them to you.As for the light, its quite bright at 300 lumens, amongst the highest for this lantern platform. There is one that's about 10% brighter at 340 lumens, the Streamlight 44931. Its also quite rugged and will withstand a drop from shoulder height. I love the platform's ability to hang upside down with the top lens part removed so the light can fill a small room/tent. The top is protected by an o-ring so it should be OK in light rain, although I haven't tested that. It has a nice metal loop hanger to hang right side up. Finally the top as well as almost the entire bottom section is over molded rubber for a nice grip and some shock resistance. I really like over molding - besides the obvious benefits it makes a cheap plastic feel into a quality rubber feel.Here's the light of CONs in my view:1) No battery compartment O - ring that would be needed for the unit to be truly water resistant/water proof2) The bottom hook appears to be cheap plastic and I shutter every time I pop it out thinking I'm going to break it off - other reviewers have said the same but no one has reported that I am aware of that the hook actually broke3) I don't really like the blinking green light that's always on to tell you the light is batteried and ready to go4) I agree with other reviewers, the battery compartment alignment issue is a real pain. Hard to believe the engineers thought this was a good idea. I've used a huge number of lights including lanterns powered with batteries and I've never seen such an arrangement.5) No provision for a night-vision-enhancing RED LED, such as the Streamlight has.6) No battery state-of-charge indicator is available (again, as you find in the Streamlight version of this platform).7) The Streamlight also can float, indicating another superior waterproofing available when both ends are o-ringed. Don't immerse this EVER LIghting lantern or you will be diving in after it.8) Warranty - is there one? I can't find any statement of warranty, either here on Amazon or the mfg. Streamlight has a clear statemetn of Lifetime Warranty. But, as I said, the vendor, Neon Mart, replaced a defected EVER Lighting lantern at no cost to me after about a year.As for this platform, I love it. I'd like to see someone come out with all the features of the Streamlight, but at twice the brightness or more. I have a 1600 lumen keychain LED light that cost $15 so it can be done. But, with more power means more battery draw - I'd like them to ditch the High/Low/Strobe control and just go for an On/Off with variable intensity - use a POT so you can dial it in and leave it there. None of this digital push-push-push to get to 30% and then start over if turn it off.In summary you have a lot of choices if you like this platform and there is a lot to like about it. Here are just a few, all available here on Amazon:- The Streamlight 44931: Top of the line feature wise, but twice the price of the EVER light.- Ultimate Survival Technologies PICO Lantern: a good middle-of-the-road unit, but Amazon's price on the EVER light is so good its my choice if it comes down to UST's light and the EVER light- The Rayovac Sportsman - it started the platform but is too expensive for less features- The EVER Lighting - the light which is the subject of this review - all in all, the best value of the lotIf EVER lighting had the features of the Streamlight and priced it on Amazon around $20 or $25, they'd have an industry-leading winner here.

Have several available for hurricaine season and general use. Sturdy with multiple lighting options and carrying/hanging handle. Priced well

I just received a two pack of the LE 1000LM Battery Powered LED Camping Lantern. I was very impressed with the size. Batteries were easily installed. Best part was the amazing brightness.I thought the price was reasonable for a two pack.I can’t speak to its reliability. Time will tell. I will not be using them much unless my power goes out. I hope I never use them. If not, I still have two nice looking lanterns.

Worked great when the power went out. Very bright. I like the batteries over charging. Power is out cant charge it but can change the batteries. Bought two more so all rooms have light. Would recommend.

First bought Nov 2020 as I live in van. Great purchase, useful, economical, secure upside-down hanger for good light from above. Batteries last long time, so much better than AAs in an old lantern. Last year, 2023, accidentally missed ceiling hook and one fell to floor. No longer worked although no break or cosmetic damage. Took to Repair Cafe but no luck as inside LEDs damaged completely. Remaining one still working well but four LEDs gone out. Buying anew ready for when last one dies. Highly recommend.

Very well designed, used in the desert and while i've had issues with other lanterns getting sand in places i would rather not find it (already have that problem with myself), the tight fitting seals do their job. Hooks from above and below allow you to mount it any which way you fancy. The non-slip rubber-like coatings means i can place it on something that slopes (car) and not need to worry about it sliding about.Already have fellow campers planning on buying a pair for themselves and i will most likely get more as well in the near future.

Lo tiene todo, no es muy grande, muy buena luz y regulable.

Ottima fattura robusta e adatta alla vita all'aperto. Fa una gran luce ed è apprezzabile poter scegliere tra luce bianca oppure più calda e poterla pure dimmerare. Le tre batterie D garantiscono una durata lunghissima e personalmente preferisco queste alla batteria agli ioni di litio. La consiglio anche considerando l'ottimo prezzo

Encantada con el producto. Da una luz espectacular. Compré el pack de 2, si llego a comprar más packs, monto la feria de Abril en mi casa jajaja. Gran duración de las pilas, súper práctica el asa que tiene para colgar, robusto. Lo estoy recomendando a todas mis amistades. Repito, alumbra muchísimo y puedes regular el tipo de luz (blanca, cálida, intermitente). Muy buen producto!
