💡💡💡A review from Mrs. L---💡💡💡 Okay . . . I am not an engineer, nor scientist. Not real good in describing machine thingys, cars, technical devices. I CAN recognize a battery when I see it and I know where the button is to turn my iPad on. ;-) And, oh. My. Word! I even know what "lol" means! Lol!
I bought these lanterns for personal reasons and they have given my husband and I such a return gift that one simply cannot describe their value.
About a year ago, a beloved friend told us that she found her youngest child trying to read a book late at night in her bed. Way past her bedtime. Struggling to hold a $1 flashlight with heavy, bulky batteries just wasn't working. I felt that a child should be able to proclaim in adulthood "when I was a child, I used to fool my parents and read my books after everyone had gone to bed!"
Anyway, we ordered three of these Etekcity lanterns. One for her and one for each brother. So, everyone got a lantern. Miss Book Worm got to read in bed. Promote local literacy efforts? Check ✔️
End of story? Nope!
One day I got a series of pics emailed to me. They were of a bunch of boys, sitting around a picnic table in the woods. In the pitch black dark of night. Scanning the pics, we realized it was a local scout troop that both of the boys belong to. The troop was all playing cards and there was a large and very bright circle of light coming from the center of the table that lit up the whole area! There in the center of the table was one of these small Etekcity lanterns. The boys had taken their lanterns on a camping trip and they had taken their pics to show us how bright they were! That's how bright the lanterns are that you can take clear pics after the sun goes down! So, we were pleased that the children found such happiness in using these lanterns.
My husband and I decided to order some for ourselves. They are light in weight. Very useful for the two power related outages due to storms. The batteries last a long time. Like a week of frequent use? The lanterns are bright enough to read by. Bright enough to walk the dogs by. Two lanterns lit up a 50 ' room. My husband was impressed and he is an engineer. He even knows what an LED light is all about . . . Lol! ;-)
If I didn't know anything about lanterns and wanted something very affordable and of good quality, I would want to find something like this. It is really, really a great lantern. Very pleased with purchase. Got a very nice note from company wanting to make sure we were happy with purchase. We were!
