My wife and I ordered from Sportsman's Guide a set of 3 LED lanterns. They cost about $50 and come in a black case. I had wondered how well they would work.....they seemed a little pricey. They use 4 AA batteries and have an 'adjustable' output. Let me wholeheartedly reccomend them. We bought the set of 3 as we have 2 boys and live in Soutwest Florida (hurricane central). We figured that they would be good for any of those nights when the power may be out and they would be much safer than some alternatives. The adjustable output would also be good as we could use them as 'night lights'.

Teses things are wonderful. They deliver A LOT of light. With a new set of AA batteries even the lowest setting is so bright that they tend to be too bright for nightlights. I have a box of batteries that are 'run down' that I use for the night light 'mode'. These 'run down' batteries have run for several days (24 hours x 3 days) and have still been plenty bright enough to still work by. I've left them on in the house when we've gone on a 3 day vacation (with the 'run down' AA's) and again they are still running strong when we got back.

I've been thinking of getting another set to give as a gift to my inlaws. Who live on the East coast of FL. Though they have power now, they were without it for awhile.

If you are searching for the LED lights, just go to www.sportsmansguide.com and search for LED lanterns.

We love them. (And no I don't work for them)
