MalloMe Camping Lantern Multicolor 4 Pack Lanterns for Power Outages, Camping Lights for Tent Hanging, Camp Light Tent Lamp Emergency Battery Powered LED Lantern (Rechargeable Batteries Not Included)

While these are a bit smaller than I they would be, they are still very efficient and bright. I actually bought these and basically the same units made by Etekcity, both from Amazon. The casings on both look identical (although the Etekcity is only in black) and they both operate in the same manner, i.e., lift the top out from inside the bottom portion and the light turns on. The difference between them is that the MalloMe has a soft glow since the LEDs are surrounded by a white opaque globe, whereas the Etekcity are much brighter since the LEDs are lined up vertically in the center of the pop-up, with no globe around them. They are both very good, which one you choose is dependent on how you intend to use these. This product is much more suited for reading light inside of a tent, for example or for lighting up a patio table. The Etekcity has a brighter, but more harsh light, something you'd use to try and light up an entire space, more like a flashlight than a lamp. Nonetheless, this still throws off plenty of light, especially given its small size and light weight. I am using both as guides for a very long, winding driveway when guests come and both ther MallowMe and Etekcity work fine for that purpose. The Etekcity costs a few dollars more but it comes with the batteries installed, i.e., 12 AA batteries, 3 per lantern. If you do the math, there's not much difference in cost, just make sure you have 12 AA batteries if you order the MallowMe. This is a good product and a good price. If you're looking for a nice, bright, soft glow in an easy to carry, good looking lantern, you can't go wrong with this lantern.

Nice little lanterns I keep placed throughout the house for emergencies and electrical outages. Nice and bright, compact, well made. Perfect for my needs.

I love these little lanterns! I have purchased 3 4 packs to give as gifts this year... including 1 for myself! I is going off to college with my granddaughter.. so compact, sturdy and bright! Perfect for emergency lighting and everyday uses.

Excellent little lights. Super bright & great price! Highly recommend.

I just bought a set of these. It was almost an impulse buy. Thanks to Amazon alerting me to the great sales price “for a limited time only! Act now!” type thing. I have had a couple of Dietz cold bast kerosene lanterns for a number of years that I’d used during blackouts. I’ve owned the Dietz lanterns years before these types of LED lanterns were even on the market. While pretty looking and nostalgic, cold blast lanterns are not especially bright and they are not kid-friendly to operate. You have to fill them with kerosene fuel and light them with a match. If you knock one over, call the fire department. 2 years ago we went through Hurricane Harvey and I discovered my emergency lighting preps were not up to the level I want. Fire based lighting, not enough lumens, not enough lanterns to go around, etc. Then I saw these LED lanterns. I really like that they came in a 4-pack too! Now I have safe, bright, user-friendly light for 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. They are very portable too because they are super light weight and have a carrying handle. No ON/OFF switch to find in the dark like on my Rayovac lantern. The Rayovac is way brighter and WAY more durable than these lanterns. It’s also sealed against water and the D size batteries it runs on last for eons. Still, ever time you pick it up, you have to spin it around in your hands trying to find the switch. Not with these little gems. You just pull the top and bottom apart and they spring to life! The brightness is adjustable by how much you open it too. Runs on 3 AA batteries. The size, light weight, built in carrying handles, and ease of use make these ideal for my household. I have a little toddler who has grown into the stage where she’s afraid of the dark now. I’ve trained her on how to use these lanterns so that if the power goes out, she knows how to grab one and get instant light. The convenience and peace of mind in a 4-pack at this price is hard to beat. Are there any down sides? Yes. First off, they are advertised with “military grade materials”. Not sure what they’re referring to. The LEDs? LOL! The housing is plastic, the globe is plastic, there is no o-ring around the battery cover to seal it against water. Yeah, nah. No military grade materials here. Just a decent set of household emergency lanterns. 146 lumens. They’re bright enough, but don’t expect it to illuminate like a 500 watt work light. Many companies market identical lanterns. I have an itek model that is 260 lumens. Other than the LED array it’s nearly identical to these lanterns. The itek lantern also has an array of 3 magnets on the bottom to allow it to be suspended from a ferrous surface (like steel). To me, this is a rather significant difference as the magnets make this lantern much more versatile. So when you shop for this style of lantern, you really just need to compare lumens and price because unless there are other features like magnets, they are all essentially identical.

Very nice! Compact, easy to store and use. They give adequate light. Priced right!!

These lanterns are fantastic! Each one is lightweight, easy to use, and gives off a surprisingly bright light for its size. The collapsible design makes them super convenient to pack and store, and the variety of colors helps everyone in the family keep track of their own. We’ve used them for camping, power outages, and even backyard gatherings—they last a long time on batteries and put out plenty of light to brighten up a tent or small room. They also feel sturdy and well-made, not cheap or flimsy. Great value for a 4-pack! I’d definitely recommend these to anyone who wants reliable, portable lighting at home or outdoors.

These are compact, which is great for storage. They're also brighter than I expected, which is great. Easy to use, will offer enough light in emergencies or while camping, and easy to store. Can't ask for anything more.
