 Great price-Nice lanterns May 02, 2008
By starry_night
I've been stocking up on emergency supplies in case we go through a power outage. A few years ago, our area lost power for over a week because of the hurricanes.
These lanterns are made of plastic, which is what makes them affordable- they are definetly NOT made to hold up to tough conditions, like camping trips, etc..
BUT, they are perfect for emergencies-ie, power outages.
They require 4 AA batteries, and light up pretty good.
I'm VERY pleased with this purchase.

Works as expected for the price! Aug 17, 2008
By Eye for Quality
"Critical Shopper"
I couldn't find a better value, if I kept looking. They seem to average about 4-5 dolars a piece, including shipping. That is about the same price as the LED "whirly gigs" kids play with, but these offer good light during an emergency, as well as being someone entertaining for nighttime imaginary play.
Like other reviews, fragile, not for kid play if you want them to last for along time, but you get three at a time. I think they are better than equivalently priced flash lights.
For the price, you could buy two three packs easy, and light your whole house during an emergency and keep your kids calm and entertained.
I folded kleenex and placed it in the battery compartment to keep the batteries in place. No safety lock, so I would say supervised play for any child under 4. Light section unscrews relatively easy should you need to replace the battery and it looks like they use a standard flashlight battery.
Lastly, I really like them for the AA batteries that I buy in bulk.

Get what you pay for Apr 14, 2008
By Ellen Tobler
The lanterns were handy and provided good light. I bought these for my two children--4 and 7--the plastic is pretty cheap and they are all cracked now. Also, the handles on two of the 3 lanterns were broken off by someone pulling too hard on them. I suppose you get what you pay for; but treat these gently because they will crack or break.

 Knobs break easily Jun 06, 2008
By Merc Kup
Before we took them out of the box two of the threee knobs had broken off. We used the other one for a weekend when the power was out for 36 hours and then the next time we were going to use it when the power was out. The other knob broke off. Really not a good product at all.

Terrific Until They Very Soon Stopped Working Mar 06, 2010
By Snowbound
We had a two-day blackout. We used three of these lanterns intermittently during the first night of blackout, and we were very pleased with them. HOWEVER, one by one, they all stopped working the next day. I estimate that each lantern received 8-10 hours of usage before they stopped working. (It was NOT a battery problem.) None of the swtches physically broke, as some customers have described. We took one apart to see if there was a switch connection problem as one user said, but the switch was not the same as he described. We do not know what the problem is, so to us the lanterns are now just junk
