Great Compact Camping or Emergency Lantern January 5, 2009

Just received this product so I will defer commenting on battery life until later. Overall I have been very pleased and surprised with this product. First off, this lantern is fairly compact...I was under the impression that this would be larger from the pictures but once I opened it up, I was pleasingly surprised. The unit is very compact and feels very sturdy. There is rubber on the base and around the lower portion of the lantern, the switch is very easy to operate and has 3-modes (High, Low, and Strobe). The entire top/globe can be unscrewed and hung upside down (clip in the base) to use as a room or tent light in "bare bulb" mode. Overall I have been very impressed with the output of this lantern as well. This is a very bright lantern for it's compact size; outshining normal 4D fluorescent U-tubed lanterns and a coleman pack-away LED lantern. The diffuser is also very pleasing with no rings, lines, or shadows to speak of. In bare bulb mode, the light is almost too bright for your eyes but works well if it's hung high overhead (so you're not looking directly at the unit). Low mode is also very useful and brighter than your typical "nightlight" levels in other LED lanterns "low" modes. Overall I am very impressed with this product and plan to purchase more of these units for use while night fishing, camping, and to use during power failures.
Update (10/31/09): Just an update, I recently used this light in a power outage and it performed great. Bright and the batteries are still going strong. I also purchased 2 additional units and with just 3-D batteries each, who can complain! This is a great compact lantern.
GREAT LIGHT FOR THE PRICE!! June 14, 2009

OK folks,
let me start off by saying that I am a flashlight afficionado. If you ask me about pistols, rifles, knives, or lights...you are now in my world, and I will talk your ears off.
Let me say that this is a great little lantern. I was walking around my local "Big Boys Covet Store" (Lowes) and saw this lantern on sale. I went over to check it out and inspect it, and then kept it on the back of my mind. When I got home, I went to one of my internet hang-outs (CandlePowerForum.com) and plugged in the lantern for some feedback, or reviews. Evidently it was very highly talked about. So I went back the next day (or was it IMMEDIATELY?) to purchase the little lantern. I gotta admit, I was not disappointed.
Since I have gotten the lantern, it is my new ruck sack companion. I will not leave to a mountain trek without it. And when I am not out in the bush, it stays on top of my reloading bench in case of an emergency blackout...or an earthquake. (I live in the San Freakcisco Bay Area).
The light is small (3.5" x 3.5" x 7.5"), but is plenty tough. It has a great rubber base, a rubber top section, and rubber side grips. Like the earlier folks stated, it has a HIGH, a LOW, and a STROBE function. As for the installation of the batteries...yea...I was scratching my head for a few seconds the first time. (No, not minutes - seconds). But after I looked at it for a second or two, it was pretty easy to see how it was supposed to go on, and I have not had a problem since then.
The little plastic hook on top is a total waste to me. Why? Because everthing else on this little beast is built so well, and then the did this?! (Added a flimsy little "Alfalfa Hair Piece" to the top of this exceptional little lantern). It has not broken on me yet - but then again, I will not take the chance of hanging the lantern from this flimsy little hook and provoking Mr Murphy to curse the lantern to fall and possibly break.
It is small and compact, but beefy and with heft.
Like I said, it's a great little lantern for the money.
You will not regret it.
In Christ: Raymond

This has to be the best LED Lantern I have seen. The 3D batteries last a long time and the Lantern outputs allot of light. Well worth the price.
Impressive little lantern July 9, 2010

I bought this Rayovac latern off of Amazon after reading tons of reviews and visiting some other sites about the quality of this product. I did happen to give this lantern it's full fledged test at a camp out this past 4th of July weekend and put it head to head with other lanterns. One of the other lanterns were Energizer's 3D cell 12 led Weather Ready from Walmart, the other was a Coleman 8D cell CFL type lantern, and the third was your basic Coleman propane lantern. The Rayovac was the most compact of the bunch, next was the Energizer, then the CFL Coleman, and lastly the propane lantern.
Now when it came to my shopping there were 2 things that were high on my list. 1st was the brightness level. 2nd was the energy (batteries,fuel, etc.) needed to run the product and the longevity of the energy (how long could I run it before having to change the batteries etc.
Let me run through the energy and consumption level. Obviously since the propane lantern runs on "fire" it did consume it's fuel the fastest, because we had to change the propane canisters at least twice for the 3 night camp. As for the other 3 I still have no idea. I would think that the CFL lantern would go out before the Rayovac and Energizer, that and the fact that it takes 8D cells make running it a little more costly. The Energizer claims 3 weeks running time at 5 hours a day use and the Rayovac claims around 75-150 hours running time, so I would call it a fairly even match between the two.
Now let's get to what your really interested in and discuss brightness level. This is purely based on what I saw and has nothing to do with comparing LED's with CFL's etc. On an overall brightness scale reguardless of type, the overall winner was your standard propane lantern. On max output it clearly outperformed the lot. To my surprise, the Coleman CFL was the second brightest. It was equivilent to your standard CFL light in a household setting and we were all impressed at how bright it was coming pretty close to the propane output. As for the LED lanterns... the Rayovac outshown the Energizer. With the top portion of the Ravovac removed and flipped upside down as a tent light, the Rayovac quickly impressed me with lighting up a fairly reasonable amount of area with light. The only edge that I thought the Energizer had was it's adjustablity to brighten and dim at the turn of a switch while the Rayovac had either bright or semi-bright. Though this is about light output and 2 of the Rayovacs hung upside down with the top removed can easily light a 10X20 camping area (the size of our canopy tent).
My conclusion on overall performance. One of the three propane lanterns caught on fire due to some kind malfunction and the fact that you have to light them with a match, change canisters on a regular basis, and change those bag things every other trip puts propane at the bottom. 3rd place would have to be the Energizer. Although it uses only 3D cells and had light adjustment equivilent to the propane lantern, it was still the dimmest (although still very bright) of the lot. 2nd would have to be the Coleman CFL. It uses batteries, although a wopping 8D cells, but is much safer than a propane lantern catching on fire. It is extremely bright, 2nd only to the propane. It's only downfalls would be the price and I'm assuming battery life as compared to LEDs. The winner in my book, is obvioulsy the Rayovac. It was the brighter of the two LED models, it's very compact, uses only 3D cells, has long battery life, can change from a free standing lantern to a hanging light(very good bonus feature), and is very well priced on Amazon. I am the owner of three of the products tested and am giving my unbiased opinion. I would highly recomend the Rayovac and plan on buying one or two more for some serious light.
Go to the light... July 13, 2010

It's easy with this little lantern. As a life-long fearer of the dark, I've purchased hundreds of flashlights, lanterns and other battery-powered lighting equipment over the years, including the kind that you wind up (worthless, by the way, unless you have arms like Dempsey or want them). The Rayovac SE3DLN Sportsman Extreme 300-Lumen 3D-Battery LED Lantern (or Bubba to its friends), gives off a lot of light. On the high setting, the light is harsh, but it will keep the bogeyman away. On low, if you cozy up next to it, there is sufficient illumination to read by (but not enough to keep closet monsters at bay).
I do not go camping since it is my theory that bears sleep in the woods, so can't report on the Rayovac Sportsman (Bubba) as an outdoor accessory. However, here in Southern California where the earth moves under our feet and the sky comes rumblin' down comes tumblin...oops, sorry, flashback...the lights go out frequently and since I possibly believe in ghosts, zombies, trolls, closet monsters and chupacabra (don't ask, it's a Southern California speciality), an arsenal of emergency lights is essential.
Lanterns like Bubba (and the ones that have 3 illumination bars in front of a reflective mirror or metal plate) are the best in terms of room illumination. When placed in front of a mirror, they provide almost twice as much light. Directional flashlights, even those big spotlight types, focus only on one area and are good for finding one's way to the bathroom but are not suitable for room lighting or reading.
The aftermath of disaster means standing around aimlessly for hours at a time,wishing you'd been better prepared. The 1994 Northridge earthquake was my first and, I hope, last. I was well prepared in some ways, badly prepared in others. Because I had a flashlight at hand, I was able to cling to a mattress that began bucking like Ol' Tarnation and watch the contents of my home smash themselve to pieces. The building, however, was not damaged, although the quake blew out the electricity, gas and water for over a week and condo-neighbors I'd never spoken to began bunking down in my dining room. People were afraid to be on their own. We pooled our food, water and other resources, shopped, ate and slept together. A busload of Bedouin tourists came by to take our pictures. Anyway, here is what I learned.
*Have an emergency fund available. No electricity, no credit cards or ATMs mean a cash economy.
*You cannot have too many flashlights, too many batteries, or too much water.
*Keep a bag with extra eyeglasses, car keys, medications & other essentials where you can grab it and run.
*Get a good first aid kit -- and read the manual.
*A cheap, pocket-sized portable radio can be a lifeline!
*Keep a pair of sturday shoes under the bed, and a sweater or jacket in grabbing distance. Parents need an emergency bag with kids clothes, some juice, maybe a toy. Babies need their baby stuff, obviously.
*Don't forget the critters. Keep a pet carrier and a dog leash, with the rest of the getaway equipment.
*AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE, DO NOT USE CANDLES INDOORS.
*In addition to its many uses as a temporary fix for broken windows, or chairs/table legs, etc., Duct Tape is a first class way to pick up broken glass from the floor or carpet when the power is out and you can't vacuum. Keep two or three rolls on hand.
*The person with the brandy bottle is the person in charge.
*If you must shop, go in a team. Work from lists. A single shopper doesn't have a chance to get everything needed before the store runs out.
*If you find yourself alone in the dark, crouching over a can of cold spaghetti-os while being menaced by a glowing pair of what may be chupacabra eyes, do the smart thing. Max out your credit card and get on the next flight outta town. Leave the spaghetti-os for the thing in the closet.
