Featured Review


 

I have to start this review with a simple question: Who doesn't want a drone?! It has always been a hope of mine but I never actually thought that I would get one! I've always liked...

I absolutely love products that don't require electricity to work. Yes, you can use electricity with this lantern but you don't have too, that's what makes it so nice. If you're the type who goes camping often or who, let's be honest, keeps a bug out bag stocked at all times, this is the perfect item to include in it! This way you'll always have light and, if the power does go out, you won't lose it if the battery dies! 

The part I like about this camping lantern is probably that it does have the hand crank instead of fully relying on being recharged by a power outlet. As was said in the questions, it's best to completely charge it with the power outlet but, if you can't, being able to hand crank charge it is amazing! I've had a couple like this before and they still work even after years. You just have to be sure to crank or charge them around once a month. If you let it go much longer than that, the battery power can drain completely and not be able to be recharged. Just keep in mind that even rechargeable batteries have a life span too. I've been told that 500 recharge cycles is the max for any rechargeable battery. However, depending on how it's made, it could be more or less than that. 

Beyond the charging, the two ways you can use this light, as a flashlight and a lantern, is just really cool! I was a little worried about it not working because it's expandable but, as you can see by my pictures, it worked wonderfully! Even straight out of the box and uncharged, it was impressively bright! I already want more than one of these because I'm sure my father is going to steal this one from me! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to go camping or just wants to be prepared in the event of an emergency!
