We’ve been looking for a good portable “camping” lamp for several years. And we’ve found not one, but two. They’re light in weight, very well made, smallish and simple to use. Here are the details of the Combo Flashlight/Lantern.
The Combo Lantern/Flashlight, powered by 4 AA batteries (not included), functions either as a space filling lantern or as a fine flashlight – depending on whether the frosted globe is slid up or down (this easy change takes only seconds). Max output is 180 lumens. Height 5", weight 8 oz. Fresh batteries will last 8 hours at max output or 180 hours at low output (15 lumens). It also is designed to be hung high up or set (pull out the tripod legs) on the ground or table, and you can easily read by it if it is reasonably close. There is a standard camera-type 1/4-20 threaded brass socket in the base, allowing it to be used on top of a normal photo tripod.
Frankly, we like both this and the Camping Lantern very much. The “Lantern” as a single purpose tool probably works better as a lantern than the Combo alternative – but then again the ability to quickly change from a lantern mode to a flashlight mode on the latter is terrific. The only logical solution is to get both - at a saving, of course. They can both earn their place in the go-bag for emergency preparedness.
