Rayovac Industrial Grade 75 Lumen 6-Volt Krypton Floating Lantern with Battery (I6V-B2A)

For 26 years I have been using 6 volt swivel lanterns in my plumbing business. I have seen all types and none of them were all that great. The brightness was poor or the swivels wore out or broke. One of the plumbing supply houses I deal with started carrying this Rayovac model about five years ago and I bought one. First thing I noticed was the superior brightness! The swivel held quite well and this is a sturdy well built item. I drop them all the time and only one lantern has broken and that was from a nasty fall. The bulb holder broke, but it was a dead-fall on concrete. I have probably owned 15 of these lanterns and the reason for that is I lose them on jobsites. I have one for the house, two for the work truck, and two spares in the garage. I am now ordering my lanterns from Rayovac as my supply house is now, again, selling a poor quality lantern. Here is an important tip: Lantern bulbs burn out like house bulbs, and they can get broken filaments if the lantern is dropped. Buy extra bulbs. Make sure the bulbs are for a SIX VOLT lantern or you may get bulbs for "D" battery flashlights and they will burn out super fast.

I recently purchased your 6 Volt Swivel Lantern (2) for my 88 year old mom. She recently had carpel tunnel operations on both hands and is somewhat limited as to what she is able to do...like hold a flashlight and do things with both hands. She had a similar light that was probably 20 years old and she didn't think they made those models of lights any more...the ones with a stand. Anyway, after a quick search online, I found exactly what she needed from RayOVac and she is completely satisfied, (which is sometimes a difficult thing to pull off with yer ole ma). The product came as ordered...no damage..and more than met her expectations. She uses one by her nightstand and one for when she has to check her furnace down in the cellar. She chooses to live by herself on a 100 acre farm and to have a reliable source of light, especially in the winter and when you are alone, is a good feeling of reassurance. Thanks for a great product and prompt service.
