We originally purchased these light for a camping trip that we had planned for the future.The same day that they arrived, we had a huge storm that knocked out all of our power for a good part of the evening. I am so glad we purchased these, they certainly came in handy!
These lights were well made, are bright enough to illuminate, without being blinding. They seem to have a great battery life, they lasted the whole night until we decided to turn them off. They are actually a nice design as well (for a lantern). They would be great for tent camping, nightime boating, overnight hiking, and more-and of course when you lose power!!
