EvereadyLED Floating Lantern Flashlight, Battery Powered LED Lanterns for Hurricane Supplies, Survival Kits, Camping Accessories, Power Outages, Batteries Included

Dependable. Years ago I bought 2 brands. Eveready lights are still working and the lights are still bright. The other brand is no longer working. The lights are dim or won't turn on.I'm sticking with Eveready cause it has proven throughout the years to be a solid and stable product.

This light is fine for the price. It is similar in size, shape, and color to the old lantern battery lights you might have had if you are older, but it has an LED light instead of an incandescent bulb, and uses two D cell batteries, which are included.Ignore the reviewers who say it needs four batteries. Apparently those people cannot read instructions. The light CAN take four batteries, and will last longer with four (at the same brightness) but it only REQUIRES two. I paid about seven dollars for this light with two batteries included, and it is more than worth it.This is not going to be my primary light, but at this price point it is handy for keeping in a car or in a storm kit, or for giving a spare to a neighbor when the power is out. It serves the purpose of lighting up a room or an area outside. The fact that it floats is a bonus.I purchased two and both work fine (with either two or four batteries). I had no problems with the switch as some others have reported. For what I paid, if they last through a few storms or power outages I'll feel I got my money's worth.

This flashlight is bright enough to handle small emergencies and is lightweight. It comes with 2 batteries included but can hold 4 batteries. Honestly, the batteries were a bit tricky to install, and getting the head screwed on properly took a little effort. But once that's sorted, it works fine—just press the switch, and it's good to go. It was worth the price.

Bright light, solid handhold, durable, eàsy to use

Two batteries didn't work. Had to order more batteries. This flashlight needs 4 batteries to work

It is astonishing that Ever-Ready lent their good name to this truly awful piece of badly-designed, shoddy plastic. Where to start? The battery compartment requires significant force to close the lamp up after putting the batteries in - and good luck in finding out how to orient the batteries, as there are no - as in zero - instructions. The battery connection requires you to rotate the lens to line up the battery contacts, effectively unscrewing the lamp open part way to make it work, so good luck with guessing how that goes and then keeping the lid on it. The on-off switch is "crunchy" and intermittent. If I were to set about designing the worst flashlight possible this would be close. If you've bought it, send it back. Yes, I know it's cheap but don't encourage anyone to market this travesty of bad engineering. Top Tip (from a licensed Electrical Engineer): Look elsewhere - anywhere else. Top Tip Two: Anything from Maglite - the best - will do you fine, yes, more expensive, but it will last forever.

You can use 4 D cell batteries in this, rather than the expensive lantern batteries. Plenty bright!

It is sponsored by Eveready, and has 2 of their D cell batteries taped to it. But surprise! After removing the lens assembly, there is room for 2 more batteries inside! Making this a proper 4 cell light. It doesn't make it any brighter, but it will be a much longer time before you ever need to change them again. The bulb itself is Cobb type LED, which is brighter and more reliable than earlier types. It has a bright yellow color, easy to find, it's portable and easy to use. The activator button is a high quality sealed rubber pusher style, which be be used to send Morse code. I like this flashlight,you will too.
