Lichamp 4 Pack LED Pop Up Lanterns

I bought these for camping and have no had the chance to test them out so far. They seem to be good quality and don’t get stuck like a lot of lanterns that have the same function of just pull for light. I am little disappointed they didn’t come with batteries. Will update once I get the chance to use for camping and see how they hold up. All in all good 4 pack for the price and they appear to be durable

 Executive summary first. These lanterns are compact, lightweight and very, very bright. I was able to get the batteries (not included) in them very quickly and all lanterns delivered worked without issue. I am very happy with my purchase.

Details. I ordered these lights as I was looking for unobtrusive compact lights to use in power outage situations. I ordered these particular lights because they rated themselves with more lumens than similar such lanterns. Now I’ve learned you can take seller lumen ratings with a grain of salt over the years, but I can attest that these lights really deliver on brightness. The 3 required AA batteries are easy to install, all lanterns lit up uneventfully and all were equally very bright. Even with the 3 AA batteries, these lanterns are lightweight meaning there would be little problem in carrying one in your backpack. I like these lights because their compactness allow me to place it pretty unobtrusively next to a lamp to have a bright substitute light source available in the case of a rare power outage.

So pros: works uneventfully, batteries go in easily, lightweight and very bright.

Cons: To be honest I find the light a bit harsh and cooler in color than I like. Based on the fact it is powered only by 3 AA batteries I’m expecting to last only a few hours on a fresh set of batteries (manufacturer says 6-8 hours). Also a con I think is that you control the intensity of the light by lowering it or raising it in its casing thus hiding or revealing how much of the light is exposed. That means the light is always consuming full battery power if you use it even if you lower it to reduce intensity. So intensity settings would have been better but that is not a major drawback by any means.

I attach a video showing me install batteries and giving a brief demo of the lantern. Now I ordered 3 different types of lanterns at the same time so please click on my profile and see my other reviews. I would have liked to have submitted a video comparing the features but Amazon only allows uploading one video per review. As I said, this one is given a 5 star rating because of its compactness, light weight, unobtrusiveness and brightness. Having said that, I need to point out among the 3 different types of lanterns I ordered, it lasts the least amount of time before having to change batteries and has the harshest light. So please click on my profile and see a review of all the lanterns I recently purchased as they all have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to one another. Nonetheless, I am very happy with this purchase.

These lanterns are incredibly bright. Will be perfect for my next power outage. And they only take 3 AA batteries. Nice and compact. Well worth the price!

Bright, lightweight, takes 3 AA batteries and lasts a long time. Great for value and usage.
