15 Best Led Lantern For Power Outages (2022 Updated)

The Enbrighten LED Hybrid Lantern with USB Charging gives off so much light. I really like the three various light levels. You can use batteries or use a USB cable to charge the lithium ion batteries.

I got this light not just for camping but also in case of any power outages due to storms. In recent years hurricanes have caused us to be without power for extended periods of time. I now feel more confident that we will have another light source and another way to charge our devices too.

This Lantern rules! It’s super bright and super light! Did not know what to expect when ordering. It kind of looks big and bulky, but it is far from it. It’s so lightweight and easy to carry around. I love how bright it is! The ability to charge phones from it is super cool and very helpful at times.

I highly recommend this lantern!.

Finally got to use my lantern during a recent storm that knocked the power out. It was very easy to use, the LED lighting lit the entire room with easy. It was also nice having the USB plugs for cellphone charging.

Let’s face it, charged cellphones are a must during a storm to stay notified. Definitely going to get another one of these for upstairs in my home.

I can honestly say when I received this item, I thought I had ordered a different one – one that had a dial to reduce/increase the amount of brightness. So, I felt rather disappointed this one did not have that feature.

However, I have since used these in my house just to experiment in the event of a power outage. I must say, the amount of light is incredibly bright! I used it on my bed to read by and had to shield my eyes with the quilt! Lesson learned, too far away for reading – if you are as blind as I am – does not work.

Too close is too bright. I think if I had used two of these tiny dynamos, the light would have been just right to read by. I am really impressed with this product! I wish I had had these before during power outages!.

Nothing wrong with the lantern. Although, I didn’t not get the yellow as part of the assorted colors, after three attempted request, I finally got very frustrated and asked for refund. I now had 4-blue colors, NO YELLOW.

I appreciated that Walmart let me kept the 2-extra blue lantern. Why is it so difficult to get the yellow? Your item listed as assorted colors set. (I got red, purple, and 2-blue) -when first package arrived.

Then, two more blue for replacement! Why can’t they get it right?.

this little lamp is larger than I expected. I wanted something to keep in the restroom for power outages. I was in the restroom when the power went out last time, and no type of lighting at all. It will work just fine for what I purchased it for, but it is not very durable.

light plastic looks as if it would crack very easily if dropped. On the positive side, It has a nice handle to told it by, and illuminates all around. Where as a flash light only lights in one direction.

It has a large enough knob to find in the dark, and there are just two settings. On/Off. Very simple and easy to use. The handle has a Caribbean opening on top, so it is easy to hang it on just about anything.

Very bright light. The included batteries are the cheap carbon-zinc batteries which tend to leak once they are used because the casing is consumed by the chemical reaction as the battery discharges. If you were to try the lantern to confirm it works, then put it away for future use, by the time you needed it the batteries would be discharged and the battery tray a mess of corroded terminals.

So replace the supplied batteries with alkaline batteries. The compass on the lantern is useless at best. It sticks on its pivot point so it usually does not point north. If for some reason you relied upon this compass odds are you would be going in the wrong direction.

Too bad this lantern does not come with the magnetic base as Seen on TV lanterns. That would be much more useful than a misleading compass.

I could not believe the 600 lumen output would be so bright. Fully opened the lantern will light up a room and to my surprise just about as bright as my large collapsable coleman lantern at a fraction of the price.

The collapsable feature allows you to control the light output range from little to completely open so you can adjust the output easily. Perfect for hiking, camping, power outages, or just to light space at night.

This lantern is slightly larger around than a soda can but very lightweight and the metal handles can be used for hanging or carrying. Would make great gift for those you don’t know what else to buy.

I will be keeping mine in my vehicle. Again, great product at great value!.

Good value for the price I paid. I can see it coming in handy for a variety of situations. It is really bright and while not a superior quality I feel it is definitely worth the price I paid. I like the easy on/off of just sliding the top/base.

It is really bright! More so than I expected. It is compact and lightweight. I would recommend it.

Energizer should make it very clear that this product requires either 3D OR 3AA batteries. OR being the operative word. We started with 3D batteries and the lantern lit up in 2 modes: very bright and a not so bright mode.

However, we believed that since it indicated 3AA batteries also, that it must have additional settings. It shows both 3D and 3AA on the inside of the Lantern and on the bottom of the lantern. However, there is just enough room to get all of the batteries stuck inside of the Lantern.

Sure, the light is bright and works great. However, it’s not so great when you are lost in the woods at night and you need to change the dead batteries. They are all stuck and you cannot change them out.

Then the forest rangers find a macabre scene the next morning of and your family looking like the Dad from The Shining. Energizer needs to improve the language and pictures on the product to include the word ‘OR’.

If they do this, perhaps we would give a higher rating. Perhaps this a way for Energizer to increase revenue? They require us to destroy the batteries as we try to get them out and then we buy more batteries? Thankfully, we bought Duracell batteries, because we have given Energizer too much money already.

Try a different Lantern. Save yourself some money, grief and perhaps your life.

I was one of the lucky ones to be chosen to receive a free sample of the Energizer LED Emergency Lantern through Home Tester Club. This product has some nice features that I really liked. First feature is it has 2 different battery sizes you can choose to use!! It takes Either.

3 D size batteries OR 3 AA batteries. I’ve never seen that option before in a product. I like it because not everyone has D size batteries on hand. So glad it gave me the option of using AA batteries which I always seem to have plenty in a drawer.

The 2nd feature I Really like is the lantern has 3 light intensities. Really bright, bright and a Nightlight!! I’m sure any child who’s camping with their family will Love the nightlight feature!! Plus, LED bulbs don’t get hot to touch.

The 3rd feature I like is that the lantern is waterproof. No more worrying about it getting wet in the rain and possibly causing rust. This makes it also easy to wipe off any kind of splatters. I recommend this light weight LED lantern.

I love this lantern. My family loves to go camping and this lantern is perfect. I love that it will work on 3 D batteries or 3 AA batteries. We put in the D batteries before we headed out. This lantern has 3 settings – high, low, and nightlight.

We used the high setting to allow us to play games around the picnic table in the campsite. It definitely provided plenty of light. We used it on the low setting when we were sitting around the campfire as it didn’t detract from the fire while providing enough light that my kids weren’t scared.

The nightlight setting worked perfect in the kids tent. I think if it were in a bigger area, it might not provide enough light but for the tent it was perfect and let the kids sleep without fear. It rained while we were there, so this lantern was perfect since it is waterproof.

Overall I would recommend this Energizer 360 Lantern as it is great for camping and a nice backup if the power goes out. It is bright enough to do anything you need.

Yeah Walmart, it didn’t meet my expectation. That expectation, of course, was that I was ordering a light that was of higher quality than something I’d find at a dollar-store. WRONG! Both units had loose pieces of plastic inside the lights, moving around when you pick up the unit, so I removed the screws at the bottom, where the batteries go, so I could at the very least stop the lights from making a maraca-like sound when you pick it up, and remove the loose plastic.

After I opened it up, all these loose, broken pieces of plastic fell out. This happened with BOTH units. Most of the plastic was for the fixture that holds the screws, so now neither of these units will close properly, because everything just falls out from the interior.

What CRAP! Now I have to decide if it’s worth returning this light. I have no idea how this light has an average of 4 1/2 stars; it’s clearly poorly made plastic garbage. You would probably have better luck going to a dollar store to get similar lights.

They lied sbout the flash light. there isn’t one. It said uncrew at the top for storage IT’S NOT. THE DETAILS DESCRIBING THIS PRODUCT IS A WHOLE LIE. DON’T EAST YOUR TIME NORONEY ORDERING THIS JUNK. I WILL BE RETURNING IT FOR MY REFUND.

CHEAPLY MADE. NO DIRECTION CAME WITH IT. STOP LYING ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS FOR SALES. NOT WORTH IT.

low cost, a decent flood of light with fresh batteries,but that much light drains the 3AA akaline cells faster than i wanted, they burned all night , weak in the AM. push it down to dim,just blocks light,doesnt slow battery drain.

would be awesome light IF: used two Lith-ion 18650 rechargeable and had a rehostat to save cell drainage. and i did drop one 3ft. to carpet floor. jarr’ed battery loose, adj. them, works fine. i keep them for back up, power outage.

This 2000 lumen lantern will illuminate a room comparable to your household lamps! The variety of light settings is great and the switch to control them is works well and is very convenient. The clear visor above the lantern allows the light to shine upward and the hanger-like hook which is recessed in the handle is great for tent-camping! We are very pleased with our purchase!.

Definitely eliminates the need for a gas lantern. Five brightness settings. Would prefer a warmer light wave temperature that gas lanterns emit rather than the bluish so called daylight spectrum it emits.

Use it to hang under BarBQ canopy for nighttime outdoor cooking.

Lightweight lantern with a nice bright light. Time will tell on how long the batteries will last. Wish I had ordered 2 while they were on sale.

I purchased 25 of these for Christmas gifts. Please, read the directions, inserting and changing the D batteries is not rocket science, but you should be gentle as you open and close the underside of the base.

The light output is incredible and the option to choose the strength of the beam is a fabulous way to save batteries. And the batteries don’t corrode in the lantern since the power down when not in use.

Plus they are cool looking and compact. This was our Christmas gift for 2021 for 25 people after Dallas Texas suffered a crippling power outage in the February 2021 winder freeze. We won’t be caught off guard again.

peace of mind you can buy for a decent price. Don’t deal with the shoddy stuff with fake reviews you see online. These are also carried in real stores which underscores the value. Thank you Coleman for decades of outstanding quality.

There is nothing I can complain about when it comes to this lantern. It’s durable, has 3 choices of brightness, doesn’t eat batteries like crazy like my old one did, and seems pretty sturdy and durable so far.

The battery compartment is like any other on something that keeps water out. If it didn’t have the push and twist seal, it would not be very helpful in a rain storm for example. I purchased this for camping, so that is an important feature.

I am not sure why so many reviewers are having trouble with this compartment. I figured it out the first time I put batteries into it. You just need to make sure it’s aligned properly, push up, and twist.

I have a 45 year old white gas lantern and stove that continue to impress. when we lost power for 3 days last winter I went to buy a “modern” lantern that I could use inside. This lantern felt sturdy and worked well during the outage.

After that I put the lantern in my emergency kit. After pulling it out to use on a camping trip the ON button was damaged and fell off. There is no other way to turn it on so it was as useless as a brick for light.

It’s not the same quality as my other older Coleman products that have been used hard for 45 years and continue to deliver. Not sure how you can even put your name on a substandard product but at least you stand behind it.

I called today and spoke to Rodrigo and he is sending me a new on as there are no replacement parts for this lantern. I will never take this product camping but will keep it in a safe location for in home emergencies only.

Thanks for standing behind your brand but maybe try and take a page from your founders and make a product that is not only tuff but field serviceable.

This is one of the most expensive LED’s that they sell. But it seems to work great. I have only used it so far about 25 nights, for 2 or 3 hours each night. The brightest setting is very bright, and I never use it.

People complain that the light turns off after a while. But they tell you right on the box that you need to replace the 4 D cell batteries. When you take them out you will see that they weigh half as much as a standard D cell battery.

But when I use them on the lower settings they have not turned off yet.

OMG this thing shines so bright. It definitely lights up a room. My son even used it to find some really tiny parts to a model tank he was building. It’s light weight and easy to carry. I recommend it if you want a really bright lantern (which conveniently allows you to dim the light by clicking the button).

Bright red flashing light that also works as the S. O. S. signal. Overall great product.

Of course I tried changing to high quality alkaline batteries, but it continues to wlrk just great until it shuts off after just five minutes. The company (Dorcy) needs to take responsibilty for for the in-store shut off function that probably causes this.

They should figure out how to solve it and train their sellers to let people know how to deactivate this. Buy this product at your own risk. In some cases, it seems to work fine and then the problem starts up after a few hours.

They won’t take the problem seriously! Let them know it is a real problem.

Received this lantern few years ago and really happy with it. Perfect size, radio reception very good, light bright enough to read by. I have sent this item as gift to several friends and relatives. Each person has been pleased with it.

Good value for the price.

With all the strange climate events in today’s world, these lanterns are great to have in case of an emergency. Having a radio is a special plus for news and for entertainment in a non-electric situation.

These were an extra present for the holidays!.

I bought his about a month ago and so glad I did. It has been a life savior through no electric. Can get local weather forecasts, travel info, and entertainment. Plus a way to charge my cell phone and of course light.

This is a really great lantern. Very bright and light weight to carry. Storms are the norm in Florida and power loss is always expected. This is a great item to have on hand ! I initially purchased one lantern but i am now going to purchase another one since it is a good deal price wise and will be used frequently.

So far, in my experience with five different lanterns (sent to me as replacements), these lanterns only work when the batteries are brand new and for a little while after that. Then, though still shining pretty brightly, they start to shut off every five minutes or so.

The dealers want you believe that it is just a battery problem, but no matter how high quality your battery, this will happen well before the batteries are run down. I recommend spending more money on a better lantern instead of going broke buying new batteries for a defective lantern.

I see similar reviews to my issue of not being able to open the battery cover. I now have 2 crappy “modern” Coleman lanterns. The older one has a “rechargeable” lithium ion battery where the outlet in the base where you plug in the recharge cord fell into the unit and there is no way of getting it back out short of destroying the whole lantern.

I now have this piece of crap where I cannot open the bottom to replace the batteries. I will never buy a Coleman product again.

While prepping for our camping trip we stopped by target to grab a few last minute items. My husband remembered seeing this lantern for $19. 99 online so as we strolled the outdoor section in store we grabbed one of the two that was left.

The store was extremely busy that day so I didn’t check my receipt like normal and when I got home I realized I was charged $30 for this light! It feels hefty for it’s size but the light is not bright at all.

My child’s lantern produces a brighter light and did not cost as much as this did. We still kept it and used it inside the tent for a subdued source of light but I think there are better lanterns out there for a better price.

I would skip on this unless you want something dim.

This is my second Life Gear Collapsible. My wife liked mine so much, that I went back a to Canadian Tire sore several days later to buy another. That says something because the lanterns are not cheap — but they are so well thought-out with 1000 Lumens at high setting, long lasting night light, an automated SOS, and a usb port.

They pack small, can hang on by tge handle, and have a nonslip rubber base. Finally, the operate on lighter AA cells. I care about my camping and emergency equipment and LOVE this product. Highly recomended.

Limited charging time for devices, but the lantern itself is great & very bright. Good design that is easy to pack and store. We liked the first one so much that we bought another one.

Super bright and compact, I really like the design of this product especially the carabiner – so cool. Very handy charging point, however it’s really slow, like 10% an hour if you’re lucky.

Useful but charge for phone does not last very long

TranslateShow in original languageMed en pris på omkring 300 kr (uden batterier! Der skal bruges 6 D batterier og de er ik billige – bestemt ikke genopladelige der starter fra 100 kr for 2 på 3000mah) så forventer man en campinglampe af rigtig god kvalitet.

Det er den ikke. Den virker meget billig i konstruktion, tæthed, robusthed og funktion… Taber man den én gang på gulvet så er det nok sket og noget er gået i stykker på den,- meget i stykker… Tror heller ik den vil klare sig særlig godt i regn og slud… Men skal den bare stå/hænge et tørt og sikkert sted i teltet/campingvognen så lyser den godt og kraftigt.

Hvor lang tid afhænger alt af hvor meget mah dine batterier er på… Men vil sige 150 kr ville være en mere fair pris….

TranslateShow in original languageabsolut starke Lichtquelle und hochwertig verarbeitete Lampe. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Volles Aufladen dauert 5 Stunden. Es lohnt sich hier den Mehrpreis zu bezahlen anstatt dauernd mit Batterien zu hantieren.

Lampe wirklich sehr hell ohne unangenehm grell zu sein.

I use this light when the power goes out. With the magnetic base I can put on my refrigerator or my filing cabinet.

Almost because the flashlight mode can’t be turned off when in Lantern mode.. The charger is good in a pinch for an emergency situation, but must be charged to function again.

Great little multi use light that can charge your phone and stayed charged the whole weekend of camping!

Great little lamp. Especially like that it doesn’t require batteries.

I bought three of these lanterns as gifts. They are a good value for the price. Love the USB feature!
