These are great for regular or emergency use. I checked many reviews and these are the best for my purpose. I wanted small, IPX6 at least and shock resistant. The magnet is an extra plus. It's quite bright even though it has a low Lumen rating. Disposable lithium batteries are the best for cold weather. It's well built, very durable. I put two of these and two larger types away in case of power failure

Pack this away or set this on a shelf for a power outage with 2 Lithium Iron (Energizer Ultimate) cells for an ultra long shelf life and a more than adequate, diffused LED light that you can point like a flashlight and use for a soft, not-glaring-to-look-at room illumination source. This will light up a 10'x10' room quite well. The higher energy density and flat discharge of Lithiums Iron cells will allow a much longer run-time than any Alkaline, too. Don't trust that Alkaline's won't leak! Consider, too, the 4th generation of NiMH rechargeable batteries to give good, flat-discharge run time plus retaining significant charge sitting idle for a few years unused. I've bought this lantern as gifts, and included Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop AA's with them.
I leave one on top of my Armoire (tall wardrobe/cabinet) to capture indirect sun during the day, and the glow of its plastic body persists at a night-vision eyesight level well into early morning... as well any seriously strong glow-in-the-dark material impregnated product does (I'm into such things - this is quite Ok). Never expect to see the same initial glow from flooding this with bright light for a few minutes... the value of Glow-In-the-Dark is achieving a long persistence glow that is bright enough after 5 or 6 hours to be able see to find the object from 20ft away with night-acclimated vision. I have another in my Jeep. This also has red LED's and an emergency flasher mode useful for on-the road.
I'd really have rather had an even lower brightness LOW setting for the LED, too, to extend the run-time hours even further.
I'd recommend this for campers - tent or pop-up or van/car campers. Likely too big and bulky for the ultralight folks, though. It's a good value for what you get in terms of results, too.
It's not the thing for a picnic table illuminating lantern, however, for that they make 3 increasingly larger size models, the Pico, the 10-Day, and the 30-Day. The 30-Day would be best for that pole-hook hung Coleman Gas Lantern replacement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great lantern with only a few minor drawbacks.
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2014

This is a great little lantern for the most part, but it has a couple of shortcomings that keep it from being 5 star good.

First, the parts I really like.

It's 27 lumens according to the packaging. That seems about right to me. It's not supper bright, by any stretch, but does provide a nice, usable amount of light for a lot of tasks.

The lantern has a good solid feel to it. It's not cheap, and flimsy feeling, like some other mini lanterns. I also like the rubbery ring around the top. The threads are plastic, but large enough, they should last a long time, if you're careful screwing it together. I found the polarity marks hard to read in low light. However, since I bought the light colored, glow in the dark base, I was able to highlight them with a permanent marker, and they're much easier to see now.

The magnets in the base, are strong enough for it to stick on the side of my fridge. However, I don't know how well it would hang upside down, or at a weird angle, like to the underside of a car hood.

I use Amazon brand, 2000 mHa cells in it, and they last a good long time. However, I've never bothered to do any timed tests.

The lantern has an IPX6 Waterproof Rating. So it's not for immersion, but should be fine in even the worst rain storm.

As for the things that could be improved.

The carabiner on the base is just cast pot metal. Pot metal, has a tendency to break, without warning, so only time will tell how well it holds up. The gate on the carabiner doesn't open very wide either, so it won't clip to anything much thicker that paracord.

As others have mentioned, the led color temperature is very cool, making the tint blue. This probably makes the low output of the lantern seem brighter, but, I find the color harsh, and not extremely pleasing.

The switch is set in the base so that it doesn't protrude much. However, there isn't any way to lock it out, so there's a chance it might come on in a pack, if something were to push on it.

The red leds only work in flashing modes. It seems so unlikely to me that I'll ever need to use this to signal, I think it's a complete waste. If they could be turned on, in steady mode, I might find a use for them, however as flashing lights they're useless.

Overall the good, really outweighs the bad, in fact my complains are very petty. I'm reasonably pleased with the light and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone who needing a small, packable, lantern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little lantern!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017

This is an ingenious little lanter. I love the following features:

1. Glows all night enough so that I can find it easier in the dark.
2. Carabiner clip and magnets, though the magnets aren't strong enough to secure it strongly to the fridge (I leave it in the kitchen for emergencies), so it slides down some.
3. Takes 2 AA batteries! And those batteries power it for an amazing amount of time.
4. Rubber and feet to keep it from rolling off of surfaces.
5. Tiny and lightweight.
6. I could go on, but there's so many sites/vids detailing all it's great features.

There's so much to love, I'm hesitating to add negatives, but there's always room for improvement. I do wish there were a lantern that would go dimmer, like night-light dim, so my daughter could use it for getting to the bathroom at night, which is the main reason I bought this. I also wish it had a continuous red light (rather than blinking) so she could use that for getting to the bathroom and keep from waking her up too much. I also wish these lanterns would start at dim rather than bright so it's not such a shock of bright, and even better, if it weren't necessary to cycle through all levels every time. It'd be a dream to be able to switch on dim only. I would love it to have a stepless adjustable brightness function, too. It's a lot to ask, I know, especially considering the low price of these lanterns, but that's my wish list.

The unit looks great even if it is smaller than what I expected. But I have yet to test it, because I cannot access the compartment to the batteries! It is jammed. I can unscrew the white-opaque cover that allows the light to illuminate thru the lantern, but the housing that holds the batteries is jammed within the orange casing. How do you access this and get to install the batteries without damaging the unit? Looks like this would be perfect for camping, hiking, etc, but I have yet to see how it functions. Disappointed.
