Check Me Out

I wasn't really looking for any lanterns on Amazon, but when I came across 2 for 15 bucks I couldn't pass it up. These things could easily be sold elsewhere for 20 bucks a piece. They look like they're made of machined aluminum in the photos, but they're actually made of a durable plastic. They're very lightweight and small. WAY smaller than other lanterns that produce the same output with standard bulbs. There are a total of 30 LED's, 3 sides with 10 each in a triangular pattern. The lighting output is sufficient, it won't blow you away, but it is definitely bright enough to illuminate a tent or picnic table. You could even use it for navigating on foot due to its size. The light collapses down into the body, and when you want to turn it on you pop it up. There is no switch, it turns on automatically. The lights turn on at about 1/4" of lifting it up. The movement is very smooth and fluid. There is just enough friction so that it is easy to pull up, yet not to little as to let it come up on its own and turn on if it were upside down. I should note that there is no digital function to change the brightness. However, you could easily do this by collapsing the light a little bit so some or most of the LED's are inside the body. Of course, it won't save any power doing it this way though. The handles are made of stainless steel and do exactly what they're supposed to. It is worth mentioning that the handles do not hinder the movement of the mechanism even when they are in their collapsed position. The lantern takes 3 AA batteries. I like this feature a lot because I am used to having big bulky lanterns that use D or C batteries for camping. AA batteries are much smaller and more common, plus I can use rechargeable ones which is nice. The battery compartment is housed at the bottom and is accessed by unscrewing a lid. This is an advantage over a traditional clipping cover that other products use that pop off and get lost easily. My only complaint is that I would have preferred a single handle that was centered rather than two handles on either end. This is just because I think two is over kill. Other than that, I can only say good things about these lanterns. If you're even considering buying them, just do it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Divine LEDs!

I just received my lanterns in the mail today. Instructions are easy. Insert 3 AA batteries. To turn on - lift up the top. To turn off - push down the top. No on/off switch or button to search for. You can determine the amount of light by how high you pull up the top of the lantern. The handles are easy to lift up, plus there is a wire loop on the top for hanging. Obviously I cannot speak to how long the lantern will work on one set of batteries, nor how it works on a camping trip. I did turn out the light in the kitchen and turned on the lantern and I was pleased with the amount of light. I will state that I did *not* purchase these lanterns to be used in outdoor and rugged conditions. They would probably work fine. I purchased these lanterns for home use in power outages, and as part of my emergency/disaster preparedness supply. Living in a rural area, we frequently experience power outages due to extreme weather conditions, especially high winds, lightning, etc. More often than not, we lose power because a DUI driver has hit a power pole and knocked out power for an entire community. It is necessary to have a light source that is dependable and provides sufficient light until power is restored. The brightness of this lantern is sufficient for my needs. I do have two Eddie Bauer small lanterns that I have been using when there is a power outage. They have worked just fine. These Divine LED Lanterns are even brighter and is a great addition to my emergency light supply. As with any product, your mileage may vary. I reserve the right to edit this review after I have used these lanterns over a long period of time. But for now - they rock! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edited to Add - 4-6-16 What great timing to have purchased these lanterns. Friday we had a scheduled power outage for maintenance. Not a problem, it was during the daytime. However, the next day (Saturday), there was an *unscheduled* power outage from 7:45 am until 3:00 a.m. the next morning. By the time it started getting dark, I realized I better put some batteries in the lanterns and turn them on.. Oh, my goodness! These lanterns put out more light than I am used to having on in the house at night, unless I am working in the kitchen. So I actually didn't even need to have them fully extended. There are no street lights in the rural area where I live, so it does get pitch black dark unless there is a full moon. The next time these go on sale, I plan on buying another set. I am very pleased with these lanterns.

I bought 2 of the 2 pack Vont Lanterns to prepare for not having power after Hurricane Irma. Thank goodness I ordered them, they worked great and wow are they bright! We lost power early Saturday morning and used these lanterns at night. For our use, the key was placement in the house to get the best light. We placed one on top of a 6 foot bookshelf in the corner and the other one at the opposite side of the room on top of the kitchen cabinet. This was the best way for us to light up 2 rooms using only 2 lanterns. We also really liked that you can slowly slide the opening and get only a little bit of light. The lanterns only use 3 AA batteries and to install them is super easy, just unscrew the bottom and voila. After we got our power back on, we let our friends that still didn't have power use them. Their house was still shuttered up so these lanterns came in real handy for them. We are also getting ready to send our lanterns down to Marathon, we have friends there. So, as you can see, these lanterns are getting used a lot. I will be buying more, you never know when you can use them and they are so cheap but certainly not made cheap! Thank you for making these lanterns!!

I'm pretty happy with these lanterns for the price and the quantity (i got 2). Comes with some generic batteries but since LED lights are low power the batteries should last a bit, especially if you're planning on using these lanterns in emergency like I do. Brightness wise its bright enough, it won't turn night into day but its bright enough to light up a room and make it habitable if the power goes off, if you pair it with two then its more than enough. The lanterns are also pretty light thanks to its plastic body and acrylic housing. And that leads me to probably my only con besides the "good enough" brightness levels, is the diffusion of light from the acrylic window. it doesn't spread out the light 100% evenly so you'll have what I call "splotches" of light spread around the space. It's not terrible or a deal breaker but it is noticeable but again not enough to bother me. The body is also made of plastic so I wouldn't call it super durable. Can probably take a couple of falls and dings but I wouldn't call it a workhorse. Overall these are good lights to have in a pinch, or even if you're looking for a daily lantern that doesn't break the bank. If you're looking for a serious lantern or one with multiple features I'd pass on this one. but it does the job, I can't complain and it gets my thumbs up FYI I noticed there are several lanterns on Amazon that go by different brand names but look identical to this one. My guess is that several vendors use the same private label manufacturer so keep that in mind if you happen to find this exact model of lantern.

These Vont camping lanterns are excellent. I have purchased them twice.They are great for camping or walking outside at night in a dark area. They are very bright but you can control the amount of light by sliding the lantern case to the preferred amount. They can be hung up inside a tent. I have also used them in my home workspace at night to see detail with extra light. The only drawback is the batteries aren't rechargable, but they do come with batteries, and they seem to last fairly long. Overall I think they are great.

After reviewing several other products I purchased the Vont 2 Pack LED camping lantern package. I like that the bottom has a very good fitting bottom that holds and protects the batteries. I did not purchase for camping but for power outages. We have had several lately and only had awkward flashlights to use which are not user friendly. On the positive side I love that the Vont is built with very durable which appears to be heavy duty plastic and not metal which can rust. The light illuminates one full room and spills over into the next room. It is very easy to pull up and closes down into a very compact unit. It is extremely bright and is easy to partially close down if you don't need the full light feature. I will take it in my car if I go on a trip in case of a break down on the road to use in the car if necessary. It is an extremely good Bright LED light and I would highly recommend it for camping, power outages, in the car on road trips etc. I will probably buy two more units and have them available all over my home so I won't have to trip around with flashights. Great job on design and cost. Edward, (Lexington, SC).

I'll admit that I'm a klutz when it comes to any sort of mechanical operations. But these lights make it hard for even me to mess up. It comes with three new AA batteries and to install them you merely have to unscrew the bottom of the light, push them into clearly marked place and then rescrew the cover on. To actually operate you need only to lift the wired handle and they turn on, then push them back down to turn off. The many little bulbs surround the globe area and shine in every direction, and at night seem brilliant. Plus they are much safer than candles, and they last close to ninety hours before you have to replace the batteries. Meaning you could use them through early darkness to early dawn for about ten days before this is needed, and never worry about a candle catching your home on fire while you sleep. They're also light weight and pretty sturdy so you won't have to fret if you knock one over or drop it. I love'em.

I ordered these for a camping trip I went on last week. I had read other positive reviews, so I figured for the money they were worth a shot. They are fantastic! They throw a lot of bright, white light 360 degrees and were great for lighting the tent and campsite. One hanging from the inside of the tent, and one hanging from a tree outside the tent did a great job of lighting the site. Though the lights have loops on the top, I would recommend getting small bungees to loop through them and whatever you want to attach them too. the friend that I can't with, who is an Ave camper, was very impressed with these lights as well. They are very convenient size 2, they are about the size of a soup can. The way they turn on and off as clever, you just pull them open and they turn on, then push them closed to turn off. I can't comment yet on the battery life, although we used them for 2 nights at a few hours each night, and the batteries lasted fine. I actually plan on leaving these in my car, they'd be great emergency lighting in the event of a flat tire or some other roadside emergency. I may also purchase an additional 2 keep in the house in the event of power outages. I tried them in my house when I first got them, they easily light up a dark room. all in all an extremely satisfied, and would definitely purchase this product again. You just can't go wrong for the price.

Thanks for the seller for the great support and great products.

Bought this for a camping outing, and was impressed by small size and brightness. Hard to look at light when it is on as it is such bright white light. Also no switches to turn on in the dark, you just pull open and light.automatically turns on. I this this is a great emergency light to have in home & car. Will get more.

Habe eine auf meinen Balkon stehen, für den morgentlichen Kaffee vor der Arbeit, tolle Lampe

Es una muy buena opción el que sea un paquete de dos lámparas que se hace atractivo por el precio. Los equipos son sencillos y fáciles de usar, tienen una excelente iluminación y difusión de la luz. Es una lástima que no tengan la opción de usar baterías regulares o de las recargables.
