AYL Starlight 700 - Water Resistant - Shock Proof - Long Lasting Up to 6 Days Straight - 1300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Lantern - Perfect Lantern for Hiking, Camping, Emergencies, Hurricanes, Outages

Just received today. Initial observations: Love the compact but sturdy design...VERY bright! The D-Cells give it enough weight to be stable and not easy to turn over. Yes, there are some confusing instructions as to how to insert the batteries but you can figure it out easily in a few seconds. The flashing (4-second interval), low-brightness green LED on the side is a great feature to help you locate the lantern when you're standing in the dark during a power outage. It will certainly NOT keep you awake at night even if it's close to you or on a shelf facing you. The instructions clearly state that the green LED does NOT affect battery life. Personally, I would not even think of reboxing the lantern then trying to insert batteries in the dark when you need it quickly…that might be a challenge indeed. Having it ready-to-use is what being prepared is all about. For much of my emergency-related gear, I put a repetitive note on my Google calendar to remind myself to check the batteries once a month. A simple task that helps to ensure that the device is working and the batteries are good. I think this will be a great lantern for use at our home and our mountain cabin. Everything seems harder or more worrisome in the dark. This lantern will help with that.

I purchased this AYL Starlight Lantern as a precautionary light source should my elderly Mom experience a temporary loss of power. I chose this lantern for it's easy to carry size and design to help extended battery life during use. It's very easy to operate. By just depressing the button she can choose two levels of brightness. You can also engage the function where the lantern will flash on and off repeatedly. This is ideal should a visual alert be needed in a state of emergency. What's really clever and much appreciated is the small green light located near the power button that continually and intermittently flashes even when the lantern is turned off. This feature makes it easy to find in the darkness. For its size, this compact lantern gives off a bright, room filling light. I'm impressed with the overall quality especially at this reasonable price. I've posted some photos and hope that they, along with my experience, helps you out a bit with your choice. I'm impressed with value and honestly believe you will be too! Thank you.
