Nice lite in a very small package it gives off good light.

Workswwwwwwwwws.

It took a while to charge but power button flashes red until full charge then flashes green when done.
On a 1.5 amp charger it took several hours. All in all it's a good to great item. I don't know how well it will hold up in the field but for power outages it's really good. I like it. The several lumen output selection is nice.

Great little lantern.

Bought it on a whim. Haven?t had a power failure lasting more than a minute in 20 years. Three days after receiving the rechargeable lantern the power went out for 5 hours after dark. Lantern worked perfectly and recharged phones as well.

This is a nice little lantern as far as light output, size, weight, and length of use per charge. Unfortunately, it is not well-designed to be packed in your gear. The power button protrudes in such a way that it very easily gets accidentally turned on when packed amongst your other gear. This is far from ideal, as a camping lantern is meant to be packed and hauled to a camp site. I keep it out and separate in my vehicle since I learned this so I notice if it gets turned on and can turn it off so I have charge left.

Very bright and appear well made

This light is about 9"x4"x4" and puts out an impressive amount of daylight. The warm white setting is a nice option, dim like candlelight when you want it. The light holds a charge a respectable amount of time. Overall a great value, probably 90% of the quality of my REI light at 50% of the cost.

Good look and easy using it for me !

Excellent product -- so good that I bought a second lantern!! I don't have a light meter to verify its claim of 1000 lumens, but the highest setting is very bright, plus there are cool and warm settings that allow other light level options. The compact size, weight, and rechargeability of the Monoprice lights is also a plus when compared to my 6 volt fluorescent camping lights.
