 Well built light May 27, 2010
cpix 25 (Houston, TX)
Product is very well constructed and you can tell it will last a long time. The very weak flashing LED by the switch lets you know where it is in the dark but the LED is not so bright that it will keep you awake.
The quality of the light it gives is much better than any other LED light I have. I would highly recommend it. Price is the only negative.
The Best Backpacking Lantern! May 18, 2010

I have owned several LED lanterns, from little 5mm LED lanterns to the Apollo Black Diamond. This little gem is brighter than the Apollo at half the cost. You can read next to it effortlessly. It is lighter in weight than that expensive UCO candle lantern, and it is many, many times brighter.
The run time is about 6 hours at the brightest setting, and it will remain dimmer but still usable for a few hours after that. It might last a little longer at the brightest setting if it was regulated, but I would rather have it die gradually so I have time to replace the batteries, than have it last a little longer and have it the light die quickly. The build quality is superb with an anodized aluminum body and sturdy polycarb elsewhere. The top and bottom caps have protective rubber on them, and the top cap is easily removable to make a great, very wide flood angle flashlight with only a hint of a center hotspot. The end caps are sealed with O-rings so I would say that it is at least heavy rain proof, although I haven't tested this yet. I now own two of them and would love to buy two more. They are really that good.
I have seen this light criticized because of glare. Well, I don't find that a problem because I guess I don't look directly at it maybe? Not sure, but something that may help is wrapping the globe with something that diffuses the light a bit more. Scotch tape would work very well. That would be an easy fix if glare is a problem for you.
They are available in both the warm white and the cool white. Look around and you can find both. The cool white version used to be sold at Target under the River Rock brand name. I prefer the warm white. It's a little easier on the eyes and is a closer match to a typical incandescent light. The warm white is more of a natural light, whereas the white light is a bit too harsh, something like a cool white flourescent light.
Impressive, durable, well-designed April 7, 2010

I have three of these for camping and emergency use, and am very impressed. They are well-constructed, and feel very solid. The switch is easy to find and use, and battery life is very good, especially on the low setting.
As others have said, the quality of the light is excellent -- warm but not yellow, and well-diffused by the reflector. The light itself is very bright to look at, but that's better than having a shade that kills half the light output. I agree that the plastic clip for hanging is a bit flimsy, but there are two provided, so I just keep the extra on the included carabiner. I find the battery compartment is easy to use, once you understand how the batteries get oriented and how the cover fits on. The top and bottom thread on very securely, and are rubberized so the light can perch on a slanted surface without sliding. You can also unscrew the top to use the light as a broad-beam flashlight, or to bounce light off the ceiling and illuminate a space.
Strongly recommended.

This is the first flashlight I have found that doesn't have that annoying blue cast to it. I wouldn't exactly call it warm white (more of a neutral white). I do agree with the other review in that it needs an even lower setting (for night).
I love this little bright lamp. December 8, 2009

The XLamp warm light is a great lantern for camping. I usually only do camping at campsites now, no backpacking, but I still like to bring cool gear and pack as light as possible. I used to own a Coleman rechargeable fluorescent lantern but it stopped working after the first trip. The Coleman lantern was the light I used in the tent so I needed a replacement. I stopped buying Coleman products because the workmanship is very poor. I had a heater break on me after the first use and their warranty is pretty lame. So after looking on Amazon and reading the reviews, I decided to try the XLamp. It is so small and light that i can hang it from the top of my tent and it is far bright enough to light up the tent. I am going to buy two more for camping.
