Features
This light is designed for area illumination, and it disperses light in a 360-degree pattern to light up a campsite or other area. It has a Maxbright LED, which is the highest quality LED Princeton Tec offers plus two Ultrabright LEDs. To avoid confusion, Max is more than Ultra and requires to be yelled louder. It is extremely bright and efficient. The single LED emits a smooth, powerful, white light. Dimmable LEDs provide the precise output needed for a given task and help conserve battery power for maximum efficiency.
Mode | Lumens | Runtime |
---|---|---|
White LED high | 300 | 4.5 h |
White LED low | 30 | 100 h |
Red LED high | 10 | 12 h |
Red LED low | 1 | 250 h |
Lights rated IPX6 have a high level of water resistance. They can take quick dunkings, heavy rain, and even a strong spray of water. The lanterns aren’t that practical at water gun fights or riots though but for crappy weather camping quite appropriate. If water enters the housing of the light, please remove the batteries and dry everything out.
The lantern is controlled by the touch of your finger: swiped to the left/right. The Glow-in-the-dark globe and folding legs help the light to shine over a wide area and pack down to fit easily in hand.
Made by Princeton Tec, USA
Princeton Tec is an old and respected manufacturer of professional handheld illumination. In addition to smart design and operating features, these are actually manufactured in the United States. This is a refreshing exception to outsourcing, especially since the price is still competitive.
