I have tried many rechargeable lanterns before buying Lepro lighting ever 1000lm led camping lantern.
. All the others were not worth their claim for higher than 1000 lumens for a higher a price. I tried a 2500 lumen, 1800 lumen and a 1500 lumen lantern, all that cost way more than this and returned them all.
I didn’t expect much out of this lantern when I saw the size of it, but holy crap this thing is bright. The first setting I was like good lord that’s bright. The second setting was a yellow light, I guess it’s softer for your eyes, but the third setting is both lights and I swear it, but don’t look at the lens. It’s super bright. There is a strobe light that is for emergencies but either the first or third setting will be my go to.
Pros: 1. Super bright and way cheaper than other lanterns that claim to have higher lumens.
2. Really light weight and small size.
3. Handle on the top and bottom makes it easier to hang on different objects.
4. Feels well built
Cons: 1. It charges using a Micro USB cable. I really wished it used a type C instead.
2. Charging seems to take a long time.
3. No battery indicator. I really wish there was a way to tell how much battery is remaining.
4. Battery life is shorter than other lanterns I tried, but I was using this lantern at max brightness. Adjust the dimmer on the light settings and you will have plenty of battery left for a weekend camping trip.
Conclusion: If you want a amazing camping lantern that is more than plenty bright, I highly recommend this. It’s small size, long lasting battery if you dim the light down will be plenty for your camping trips. You are able to use it as a battery pack to charge your other devices, but let’s face it, you go camping to get away. In a emergency that is a option at the cost of lowering the amount of time you have in a light.
