-Envirofit has come up with a handy new flashlight that doubles as a lantern. It comes with a nice clip you can use on the ceiling of your tent, a branch, or wherever you would like to hang it up. -The Lantern has 12 bright LEDs and you can use the lantern switch for full power or half power = 6 LEDs to conserve the rechargable battery. -The Flashlight can be run on 3 LED's or 5, and the hand crank can give you emergency power whenever you need it. -For extended lantern use, I would recommend, charging up the battery with the included USB cable from a computer, car adaptor, or from a solar charger. You would have to do a lot of cranking to run the unit on lantern mode. -In my testing off of a full charge I got about 2 hours of bright light on Full Lantern mode, 4 hours of bright light on half Lantern mode, and over 6 hours of bright light on low flashlight mode. SPECS 1) Lighting parameters of LED torch Max. Luminous Flux 13 Lm 3 LEDs lighting time after 1 minute cranking 23 Minutes 5 LEDs lighting time after 1 minute cranking 13 Minutes 3 LEDs lighting time after 3 minutes cranking 33 Minutes 5 LEDs lighting time after 3 minutes cranking 21 Minutes 5 LEDs lighting time after fully charged 4 Hours 2) Parameters of external power source Input voltage - 5V Fully charged time via USB port Approx. 8 Hours Fully charged time via hand crank 30~35 Minutes Size and Weight˖ Product size Approx. 220*60*60 m = about 9 inches long and 2 and half inches wide Product weight Approx. 235 g = about 9 ounces Specification of built-in battery 300mAh, 3.6 V

Great emergency lights
I was looking for an emergency light for when power goes out. After pricing some kerosene lamps, I decided that was both too messy and expensive for high quality lamps. So I rolled the dice on this. I have been very pleased with it thus far. You can use it as a lantern or a flashlight or both at the same time. The reflector plate helps diffuse the light and makes the lantern function very helpful. As for cranking, it is a breeze to use and charges the battery very quickly. I am going to be ordering more for the rest of the rooms in the house.UPDATE: After a 24 hour power outage, these were great! I have 3 of them and they became the flashlight that I sent with the kids when they had to go to the bathroom. After having them for a couple of years and now battle tested, they are a staple in my power outage emergency kit. Highly recommended!

Very Good!
I really like this flashlight/lantern. It charges really quickly with the crank and the light is pretty bright. I bought this for camping and it works great. Some features that I like...you can choose to only use either the flashlight or lantern, or you can use them both at the same time; also the loop at the top opens and closes with a button so it can easily be hung up in the tent or elsewhere; also mine came with power cord that has a USB on one end and a DC plug on the other that plugs into the flashlight, but I haven't tried using it yet. Additionally, shipping was very fast on this item. Overall I am very satisfied :)

What a great product
We lose our power almost every time we have a fairly bad storm, so I bought this to use as our light source. It is so well made, easy to use and the best part is that it doesn't take a battery. You can hand crank it to charge it; the crank is really easy to use, but I don't know how long it would take to charge it that way. We try to charge it through the computer if we know bad weather is on the way. I would definitely buy this again and would like to see what else this company makes.

Works awesomely
While searching for a flashlight-lantern combination on amazon, this was the only product that I found that was (1) a flashlight-lantern combo, and (2) crank-powered. It works perfectly. During the next power outage, I should be able to use it to read without worrying about batteries going dead.

Nice Constructed - Work well
Ordered two. Came with USB to charge. Will wind nicely. Two levels of lighting. Bright enough to get around with. Large hook on top so you can even hang it on a branch if needed. Only feed back is that how do you know it is fully charged? I had it plugged in for 5 hours and red light still on. Not explained in documentation.

flashlight
Good flashlight for the price. Like the fact you can charge this up in case of emergencies. I actually haven't tried the wind-up feature yet, so I can't attest to how well this holds up. Purchased this for worse-case scenario in these end times.

Bright light
Light is much brighter than I was expecting. Will be perfect for inside a tent, and definitely handy for power outages.
