Rayovac Sportsman LED Camping Lantern, Battery Powered Lantern, Water Resistant Hurricane Supplies and Emergency Light, Pack of 1

We have only 4-5 power outages per year but when everything goes totally black at 9pm and you have to scar your legs stumbling into the edges of coffee tables while trying to remember where the flashlights are, it's not fun. So we got two different sets of devices. (1) a pair of bright power failure lights that plug in and just sit there until the power goes out, then they instantly and automatically come on bright enough to see our way around. Different styles are readily available from Amazon and other stores. (2) This Rayovac lamp with fluorescent tubes, powered by D batteries. It is plenty bright, some people say equal to 40 watt incandescent but seems more like 60-75 watts to us. Even set at half power, which doubles the battery life, it's bright enough to do anything except read a book comfortably. The 8 D batteries cost around $15 for a set of name brand, but they have a storage life of 7 years. We like this Rayovac so well we will order a second one so each of us can carry one from room to room. It comes with a sturdy and comfortable carrying handle, is a bit heavy with all those batteries but my wife and I are in our 80's and we can manage it. We figure it's a law of nature that if you are well prepared for a disaster, you will never get one; if that's true it was a cheap price to pay.

Super bright but I wish the bulbs were cheeper

I love it works real good give nice light so far I like it

Decent product. I have two, one is very old. I would buy again.

This is the second Rayovac Sportsman lantern we have owned and they are heavy duty and of good quality. Our last one served us well for several years until we left the batteries in during a hot spell and two of them ruptured and corroded the wiring. We use these for home emergencies and for camping. We like the two light levels available, and this latest model has a night light feature that will come in handy. The only problem with this latest purchase was that at first, the lantern would only light up the night light for the first several times we tried to use it. We removed the lamps and batteries several times, and finally, after about deciding to return it, the lantern started working and has never given a bit of trouble since.

This is lantern is great for when the power goes out at home; bright, easy to tote from room to room, and the price was not bad for something you hopefully, don't have to use very often. I imagine it would be great for campers, too.

I already had one of these Rayovac battery-operated lanterns and recently purchased a second one on Amazon. I have another battery operated lantern by a different company but the light it emits is not nearly as bright as the Rayovac. I find these lanterns invaluable for power outages (which we unfortunately have in our locale). The light is bright enough to read a book or newspaper by - or even to put your makeup on if the power is out and you have to get ready for work. The bulbs can be turned on separately if you don't want quite as much light. Highly recommended product for the home.

I got a lemon, but Amazon quickly refunded the money and a new one is coming. The product looked new on the outside, but batteries had been in the lantern once and leaked. There was heavy rust and corrosion on every contact, with extreme pitting in the metal surfaces.It was hard to determine if the lantern had been a display model once with batteries or not. It was unusable.

This lantern is excellent during power outages.

Excelente lampara pero llego sin pilas y sin caja original nadamas en caja de amazon según en las características decía con pilas D

Linterna grande, pesada pues ocupa 8 pilas D, los modos de luz nunca van alumbrar lo suficiente, el inconveniente mas importante que veo es el repuesto de los focos fluorescentes. Aun asi, la linterna es demasiado bonita, estética, y si no buscas exceso de luz bien puede servirte. La recomiendo para necesidades de luz bajas. Y el precio se me hizo el correcto.

It is a great bright lantern when the power goes out for reading and cooking, or just as a flash light to get around.

とにかく明るいけどでかすぎる。4Dのほうがつかいやすい値段がやすいのでOK
