ITEM:
Etekcity Battery Operated Lamp (2 Pack/Black)
PROS:
Comes with the batteries already inserted, so you just have to twist the bottom off the battery compartment to remove the little clear tab so they'll turn on when you lift up the top. You can vary the brightness by lifting it up all the way or just part way. And it has two metal handles, so you can hang them up or carry them. Light is nice & bright. Compact size made them easy to pop in my tote bag, and the way it turns on only by lifting the body of the lanterns up means no accidental button pushes, and it's not loose, so wouldn't just slide up & on in my bag.
CONS:
While you can control the dimness by controlling how much of the light is exposed, in not sure if the LEDs that aren't exposed are also actually on, though not visible when only partially open. If they are all lighted, it means it won't necessarily save battery power just by having them partially open.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
There were several choices with similar camp lanterns, but I chose this one even though the others had more in their sets or a slightly cheaper price with coupon, etc. This one was still a better deal, price-wise, since it came with batteries, was a 2-Pack, and arrived super fast. Sometimes, those factors make it worth paying a few extra pennies. They provided the exact lighting I needed for my project.
