Well, one never wishes to test a lantern in this way - but this is why I bought it - for emergencies. We are in the midst of the great power outages that are occurring in Texas due to extreme cold and a power grid collapse. I purchased 6 lanterns months ago - for our emergency cabinet. I keep them prepped with batteries in them, and a date taped to them as to when the batteries were put in - so I am able to always keep good batteries in them to respond in an instant when needed. That system and this lantern worked well this February. Our electricity went out - along with about 4 million other people's electricity and we had temperatures as low as 3 degrees for long periods - we still aren't out of this and only get power part of each day- sometimes for 30 minutes at a time, with many hours with no power each time the electricity fails. Thus, we are lighting our house with lanterns. These are much better than candles - obviously. They are easy to carry by its handle - easier than flashlights, so the ease of portability has been helpful. We do have some lanterns that are lighter, but their batteries ( AAs) aren't lasting as long. This lantern has held up for 3 nights so far and it has been bright enough for our needs. I have it on our kitchen counter, with another lantern on our coffee table. I have not had it in continuous use, as we don't need it in the day, and I turn it off by 2 a.m . each night. It has been a real help to us in an actual emergency. I feel for neighbors and others that only have flashlights, or candles. It is not possible to get lanterns once the emergency is upon us. Stores have no electricity and are closed, roads are in terrible shape, not safe to drive. There is no mail delivery. So unless you have these already purchased, stored and ready to go, only a helicopter landing in your backyard could get these to you during an emergency. So my message is - this has been a great lantern for our needs. Get several lanterns. Keep batteries in them . Label them noting when the batteries were put in. Keep fresh batteries in them. Keep extra batteries in storage as well. We may be without power for a week. We were able to stay in our home because we have reliable lighting with lanterns, and our heat source is a gas fireplace. Others have fled to hotels - if they could find one with power and with an available room. I am so happy to have been prepared with lanterns, this one included. Great lesson for our kids - even adult kids. I gave one adult daughter one of these same lanterns - her batteries are old, so she doesn't have a lantern to use. So - good for her to learn the importance of keeping emergency gear in working order. The first night our power went out, I went to our cabinet, took out the lanterns, put them on our kitchen counter ready to go, took one back to the bedroom, etc. Didn't miss a beat.

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this AYL Starlight Lantern as a precautionary light source should my elderly Mom experience a temporary loss of power. I chose this lantern for it's easy to carry size and design to help extended battery life during use.It's very easy to operate. By just depressing the button she can choose two levels of brightness. You can also engage the function where the lantern will flash on and off repeatedly. This is ideal should a visual alert be needed in a state of emergency.What's really clever and much appreciated is the small green light located near the power button that continually and intermittently flashes even when the lantern is turned off. This feature makes it easy to find in the darkness.For its size, this compact lantern gives off a bright, room filling light. I'm impressed with the overall quality especially at this reasonable price.I've posted some photos and hope that they, along with my experience, helps you out a bit with your choice. I'm impressed with value and honestly believe you will be too! Thank you.

It feels light and is very bright, way better than the other small emergency lights I have. I plan to use it if and when we have that big blackout. A very useful feature is the flashing green light that tells you it's charged and ready for use.

The unit is very sturdy and looks like it can handle any situation. The black colored parts are a hard rubber that will take considerable impact without the lantern being damaged. It uses 3 D batteries which makes it heavier than models that use AA batteries. But, D batteries last considerably longer in use so that far outweighs the weight difference in my view.The main issue with all these lanterns is the actual brightness. Forget trying to translate lumens, luminous flux, bulb wattage (which is a measure of power use, not light), LED panels vs bulbs and so forth. You will be totally in the dark so to speak. Here's the poop. This lantern has a low and high selection with the high stated at 600 lumens, the low selection is about 400 lumens which makes light equivalent to a 40 watt incandescent bulb in a light fixture. 600 is roughly equivalent to a 50 watt bulb. That should give you a perspective on how bright it will light up a room. A camping tent will be very bright. Your living room not so but you can still do most functions without problem. Much better than an ordinary flashlight and you can sit it down so as not to do everything one handed. It has a handle for carrying and hook for hanging. Overall, a lantern like this is essential in a power outage situation.The downside on this lantern is installing the batteries. You have to align arrows and marks. Sounds simple but these are on the inside of the lantern and you can't see them as you try to close the base. The battery posts are on a rotating mount which spins freely. So, you align the arrows looking from the outside. As soon as you move the base to attach it, the mount rotates and the arrows no longer align. On an on you go until you get lucky. If the lights go out, you will not get it assembled in the dark. So, you have to put it together and leave it ready for future use. It has a little pilot light that blips constantly burning off the batteries but they state batteries will last 2 years on standby.
