Streamlight Rugged Outdoor 5.5" Battery-Powered Lantern

Very well made light. Looks like it would easily pass military specs and with 27 years active duty, I would know. Bought for very extended bicycle trips for a tent night light. Great feature with the red light at night in case you don't want to sacrifice night vision. Very well made good super light lantern. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I also bought the Coyote 340 lantern when I purchased the AA LED model. Tons of lanterns are available but I already own several other Streamlight products. I am 100% satisfied with all of them, so far. About three years ago I bought a Streamlight mini LED flashlight with all the characteristic settings; however, after several weeks of careful and occasional use, the output became erratic and finally it died. Long story short: Streamlight promptly exchanged it for a new unit. Their lifetime guarantee held true, although only a little over a month had gone by when the flashlight failed. I bought this AA LED lantern to keep inside my vehicle for the next time I change a tire at night. It's only happened once and although I have a traditional beam flashlight one needs a wide beam of light to keep track of the lug nuts, center the tire on the lug bolts, watch that the jack remains stable, and to have BOTH hands FREE. The AA LED lantern is perfect; it illuminates the tire and work area well and allows the use of BOTH hands (should I need it for a flat tire at night). If not, it takes up little room in the glove compartment and backs up the flashlight. It's dark at night in rural north Texas.
