The Best Rechargeable Lantern

This rechargeable lantern was named The Best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute due to its superior lighting, durability, and features. Analysts used a lux meter to assess each model’s brightness and the Best unit produced 106 lux, 376 lux, and 821 lux on low, medium, and high settings, while lesser units generated light as weak as 3 lux, 3 lux, and 18 lux. The Best model also withstood multiple drops from a height of 4' without sustaining damage and has an IPX-7 water resistant rating, enabling it to be submerged in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Its list of superior features not found in lesser units include USB ports for charging smartphones and other devices, four red LEDs for night vision and an SOS mode, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses, and its ability to float on water. Charges via AC; a full charge provides 39 hours of power on its lowest setting, 13 1/2 hours on medium, and 4 1/2 hours on high. 7 1/2" L x 3 3/4" Diam. (2 lbs.)
