Rating: - small lamp...bright light
What I expected was something the size of an old camping lantern. What I received was the size of a can of soda that put out lots of clear light. This is a positive step forward in your collection of camping gear.
Rating: - Great for Camping or Emergencies
I decided to purchase the Brunton Polaris Lantern because it looked mysteriously similar to a Gerber Lantern that I love. The price of the Gerber however was $20 higher than the Brunton and I am happy to say that they are almost identical! The Gerber model features a camo-body instead of the gray Brunton body but other than that, they are basically the same. The output of the Brunton Polaris in low makes for a nice night light while the high mode can light up a small bedroom brightly and easily. The color of the light is also more "normal" and not too White or blue as with other LED lanterns. The ... Read More
Rating: - Great lantern to take to a backpacking / car camping trip
I must admit - I am a bit of a lantern and flashlight addict - I have one too many in my collection at home, though I've had just one instance of power failure in the last 10 years.
That said, every flashlight / lantern has its purpose. And in spite of the other reviewers thinking this one did not hit the mark, I think it did so just fine - with flying colors, no less!
Now, this is not a propane lantern. If you are traveling, you know the pro's and con's. Nothing like being 'all set' on the light part before you reach your destination. I've been on several car camping trips ... Read More
Rating: - Not what I expected
Yes... it let's off a good amount of light. No, it's not very different than typical "white" LED light. And did I mention how small it is?
Rating: - Decent on bright setting, but shortens battery life
This light is indeed COMPACT in size. It would be great for backpacking. However,I bought it for a friend and gave it to him at work, where we tested it, so I can't truthfully say how it compares to my "larger" battery lanterns. But at the BRIGHT (full power) setting, it nicely lit-up a 'confined' area (his darkened office). But no battery lantern will ever come close to lighting an outdoors campground like a propane mantle lantern. And, the bright setting will undoubtedly shorten the advertised battery life. Conclusion: if you really need 'compactness/light weight' for backpacking etc., and you only ... Read More
