A:

The 10-Day Camp Lantern is a favorite for larger groups and destination campouts. Because of the four hefty D batteries inside, it weighs over twice as much as any of the other devices here, but it also offers brighter light for as much as 10 days straight. It comes equipped with a dimmer switch and rugged, water-resistant housing.

LASTS: 10 days
LIGHT OUTPUT:
160 lumens
WEIGHT:
2 pounds, 9 ounces
PRICE:
$40
