I love everything about these AYL lanterns. I have many of them; 1 for every room & 1 for the car for emergencies, and I have bought them as gifts for family/friends. I may have to join a lantern addiction support group soon. I use them mostly for power outages during rain storms or when 1,000's of people are all using AC at the same time during summer heat waves and then the power goes outdoor several hours or 1-3 days.
I love that these AYL Camping Lanterns are Rechargeable and that I don't have to worry about remembering to replace dead batteries. I love how powerful the light is and how there are many options for light strength: 1) Low, 2) Medium light, 2) Strong light, 3) Flashing light. My sister has maybe 10 different lanterns and they've all been anemic interns of the brightness of their lighting.
I've had these lanterns for about 2.5-3 years and so far no problems. I love how it's water resistant- so I don't have to worry about the rain. I love how the outer shell is mostly rubber so it can take it, if it accidentally gets bumped. I've never dropped my lanterns, but I'm not worried about it if I do. I also enjoy the orange and black color, so that it is easy to see/find. It's also nice that you can charge your cell phone using the lantern's USB outlet in case of a power outage.
The only thing I have a question mark about is, the box shows a solid orange USB charging cord, but all the lanterns I have bought, including in Jan 2024, all come with solid black USB charging cords. A solid Orange USB charging cord, might be great, to make it easy to find against darker surfaces or in the dark, but it's not a big deal, and not a deal breaker. Black USB charging cords would be easier to find if it's on light brown or cream colored carpet or light tan wood flooring. I also love how AYL occasionally offers sales/discounts that is helpful when money is tight. Overall, I am very happy with having gotten these lanterns for their quality, value, and features.
