There are two kinds of lanterns. The kind that sits in your garage looking responsible until you actually need it, and then disappoints you completely. And then there's the LUXPRO LP1513, which is the other kind.
900 lumens from a lantern this size is genuinely impressive, but the thing that makes the LP1513 different from every other lantern I've owned is the 360-degree LED spread. There's no dark side to this thing. No matter which direction you turn it, the light goes everywhere — and the diffused lens means it's soft and comfortable to be around, not the blinding glare of a bare bulb you're squinting at around the campfire.
The variable dial is another detail that sounds small until you actually use it. Being able to smoothly dial from a dim 60 lumens all the way up to 900 without cycling through preset modes is genuinely satisfying. Low for atmosphere, high for actually getting things done.
Now let's talk about the dual-power situation, because this is the feature that earns its place in a real emergency kit. The built-in rechargeable battery runs up to 10 hours and charges in 4 hours. But if you're in a true power-out situation and that battery is dead? Drop in 3 C Cell batteries and keep going. That fallback option is the difference between a camping accessory and something you actually trust when the lights go out.
The built-in USB power bank is just icing at that point — charge your phone off your lantern, carry on with your life.
It's IPX4 waterproof, built with rubberized TACKGRIP, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. At $49.99 it's the kind of purchase you make once, throw in your camping kit, your emergency kit, or your garage shelf, and completely stop thinking about because it's just always ready.

We keep our lantern charging in the rv. When we are out camping it provides an amazing amount of light for its size. Love this light, would highly recommend this company.

I have used the adjustable beam flashlights for years. They are really bright and come in different lumens. They are small and have lanyards on them for easy holding on to them.

These are great lights. Easy to recharge, not heavy. Keep one in each car, kitchen/pantry and bedroom. Gave one to my daughter and a granddaughter for their cars. also gave them the lanterns.
