Just survived a tornado and 3 days of no power. Wanted more battery emergency lights. These little lanterns are perfect!!! They are sturdy and VERY bright, but can be dimmed. The carry handle fits along side of the lantern for easy storage and stays put until you want it. There's also a clip hook on the bottom! It folds flat when not in use so the lantern stands up nicely. Yet, when you want to clip the lantern up, the hook is easy to pop up. Highly recommend and I'll be buying more!

These are great! Perfect for power outages, night walks with the dog and camping of course. They seem durable and are bright. Bright color is easier to find. Battery operated so a little heavy for such small lamps but that doesn't deter from their usage.

Good little camping light, put off plenty of light at night

It's a great compact lantern gives off Brillant light. The only issue was the battery cap was difficult to put back on. It took me quite awhile. Maybe needs an adjustment to make it easier.

Thanks

I have four lamps in my shed, which I place on each shelf so that I can see my tools and supplies at night. They have a very sturdy base, which keeps them securely in place and very hard to knock over when I sometimes get clumsy. Although the cap is made of plastic, it is very durable diffuses the light for even brightness without straining or harming my eyes.

The lantern offers warm lighting, day lighting, and the option to combine the two to maximize brightness by powering all of the LEDS. The base is compact, making it easy to grab and hold, in addition to easy access to the power button. It uses D batteries, which I installed last year and have yet to replace them, which makes these efficient and affordable.

I station six LED lanterns throughout the house as back-up light in case of a power outage. I bought several different brands of lights as I was replacing my old incandescent lanterns and flashlights to see what features I liked the best. The AYL turned out to be the all-around best for my needs, with the near-identical Lepro a close second.

I like the size and lighter weight of the smaller lanterns. The round base of the AYL fits comfortably in my hand, allowing me to easily push the light button with my thumb. This is especially nice when I remove the globe and use the lantern as a flashlight. My larger lanterns don’t put out any more light but their extra batteries do increase run time. So I consider them better suited for camping or in areas that experience extended power outages. I’m fortunate to live in an area where power failures are rare and when they do occur their duration is measured in minutes, not hours.

Another feature I’d never do without is a diffused globe. LED light is very harsh and without some kind of diffusion it glares into your eyes seemingly regardless of where the lantern is placed. The diffusion on the AYL and Lepro aren’t the best, but work well enough. Though you do see the LEDs if the lantern is below your eyes.

Although the AYL, Lepro and other brands of this lantern are identical in appearance, their LED arrays can vary. The AYL has two semi-circles of rectangular daylight LEDs with a center cluster of four amber LEDs. Conversely, the Lepro has a semi-circle of round daylight LEDs, a semi-circle of amber LEDs, and a center cluster of four red LEDs used only for the flashing mode. All the LEDs on the AYL can be powered at once, making it the brighter lantern since it has more LEDs.

Control is another feature that varies among these Chinese lanterns. The sequence on the AYL is AMBER-DAYLIGHT-BOTH-FLASHING. What I love about it is once you select a mode, say the daylight setting, after a few seconds the lantern can be turned off just by pressing the button again without cycling through the annoying flashing position that my other lanterns require. I’d prefer a lantern with just daylight LEDs and a simple HIGH/LOW/OFF control, but I guess others like the additional features.

I’m phasing out my use of D batteries with the excellent Whizzo Tech AA-to-D adapters that accept one to three AA batteries. I’m still using alkaline batteries but am slowly switching to white Eneloop rechargeables. Reattaching the bottom cap after inserting batteries is tricky at first, but if the directions that are right here on Amazon are followed, it’s fairly easy. I’m an old guy with arthritic hands, so if I can do it anyone can!

We had an LED battery powered lantern, but it was almost impossible to get the battery cover on after changing the batteries. This one was much easier to put on. The light is really bright. We already had a nice one that is rechargeable, but if the power is out..... the only way to recharge it is to use the car... and that isn't convenient. So, we wanted a lantern that uses batteries and this seems to be just what we were looking for. I am thinking about buying one for my daugher's house.

We ordered 2 of these lanterns in 2020, and just ordered 2 more. They are great! Very sturdy and the size and brightness is perfect. Not big lanterns but plenty of light.

We love to support family-owned businesses and appreciate the personal touches that come with that.

Highly recommend.

Amazing brightness, very pleased with my purchase.

In the picture the lantern is on low light but still gives off plenty of light in which to move around our tent. It’s a well made lantern and easy to use. Incidentally the picture was taken at 3am. Very impressed with this lantern and would definitely recommend it to other camper’s

This item was sold as a pair but one latern was defective out of the box. This was a gift for my elderly parents and it's difficult for them to return the item. Very disappointing.

I recently purchased the AYL Dimmable LED Lantern, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality, features, and value for the price. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell that this lantern was built to last.

First and foremost, what stood out to me was the incredible value this lantern offers. For the price, the quality and features are simply outstanding. Not only does it provide excellent performance, but it also comes with a lifetime warranty, which speaks volumes about the company's confidence in their product.

One of the features I appreciate is its compact and lightweight design. This lantern is incredibly portable, making it perfect for camping trips, hiking adventures, or even backyard gatherings. Its small size doesn't compromise its brightness either. The LED light is remarkably powerful and illuminates the surroundings effectively.

The inclusion of a hook on the bottom is a thoughtful addition. It allows for easy hanging from above, whether it's inside a tent during camping trips or above a picnic table during outdoor meals. This feature adds versatility and convenience to the lantern, ensuring that it can be used in various settings.

The dimmable functionality is another standout feature. It provides the flexibility to adjust the brightness according to my needs, whether I want a soft ambient light or a brighter illumination for more visibility. The control is easy to use, allowing for seamless transitions between different lighting levels.

Overall, the AYL Dimmable LED Lantern has impressed me with its exceptional quality, value for money, and thoughtful design. Its durability, lightweight nature, and the added convenience of the hook make it an excellent companion for outdoor adventures. I highly recommend this lantern to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile lighting solution.
