Maximum lumens without a runtime beside it tells you nothing · review
The cheapest listing in this group and the only one that unscrews into a torch — sixty lumens, two lamps, and no runtime published at any level.
A 2-in-1 mini lantern and flashlight, two-pack, zoomable.
EverBrite states that the zoomable feature lets the lamp work as a camping lantern and as a portable flashlight at a weight of 0.19 lb; three lighting modes — high, low and strobe — from a 3 W LED lamp bead reaching 60 LM/99 FT, with 360 degree lighting when the light post is screwed out; a mode order of high-off-low-off-strobe-off that can also be cycled high-low-strobe without switching off; and a removable hook that attaches to both sides, hooked for hanging and unhooked to stand on the ground or a table.
No runtime. No power source. No chemistry. No charge port. No IP rating. No color temperature.
The figure this shelf’s buying tip exists for.
Ignore the boost, read the middle setting: that is the level an evening uses, and the one that decides whether the lantern lasts a week away.
Not one lantern in this group publishes a middle-setting runtime. Five publish something — 200 hours on low, 80 on low, 120, 24, and 12 at maximum. This publishes nothing, and names no cells, so nothing can be estimated either.
Screwed down, and screwed out.
Down, it throws a claimed 99 feet from a 3 W bead. Out, the post extends and the light goes 360 degrees.
This shelf’s introduction says a lantern on the ground lights the ground. This is the only lamp in this group whose hook fits either end — hooked to hang, unhooked to stand.
The lowest output here, and the honest kind.
This group runs to a claimed 1800. This shelf’s introduction warns that a maximum figure normally belongs to a boost mode lasting a small fraction of the charge, and two lanterns here publish exactly that: four minutes and three minutes.
Sixty lumens continuous is a reading light. Without a runtime beside it, it still cannot be compared with anything.
EverBrite’s instructions carry the cells and the use. Nothing here replaces them, and nothing on this page describes any product as safe.
The American Amazon store was listing it at about $10 at the time of writing.

The listing does not say, at any of its three levels. That is the gap this shelf's buying tip is written for: ignore the boost figure and read the runtime published for the middle setting, because that is the level an evening actually uses. Not one of the seven lanterns in this group publishes a middle-setting runtime, but five publish something — 200 hours on low, 80 hours on low, 120 hours, 24 hours, 12 hours at maximum. This one publishes nothing, and it does not name the cells either, so the figure cannot even be estimated.
It turns one lamp into two. Screwed down, the lamp is a torch throwing a claimed 99 feet from a 3 W bead; unscrewed, the light post extends and the lamp becomes a 360-degree lantern. This shelf's introduction is firm that a lantern on the ground lights the ground, which is why the hook matters here as much as the zoom — and this is the only listing in this group whose hook fits either end, so the lamp hangs from one side and stands on the other.
For a tent and a table, yes; for a pitch, no. This group runs from 60 lumens here to a claimed 1800, and this shelf's introduction warns that the maximum figure normally applies to a boost mode lasting a small fraction of the charge — two lanterns in this group publish boost durations of four and three minutes. Sixty lumens as a continuous output is a reading light. What is missing is the comparison the shelf is built on: without a runtime, sixty lumens cannot be set against anything.
Close prices, same category: comparable camping gear. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.

A glovebox or a kit bag, where the lamp has to be two things and cost almost nothing

1800 lm claimed · 46 LEDs, 4 soft white and 42 daylight · 3 × D cells · no runtime
The highest output claim in this group at 1800 lumens, from forty-six LEDs on three D cells — and the only lantern here with no runtime, no color temperature and no ingress code.
Best for: A storm kit where cells are stored separately and brightness is the only requirement
≈ $30
Rechargeable OR 3 × AA · collapsible COB · 3 magnets on the base · two lamps
The only lantern in this group that takes either a charge or three AA cells — two lamps, a collapsible body and three magnets on the base, with no lumen figure anywhere.
Best for: A lamp that has to work when there is no socket and no charge left
≈ $30
1500 lm boost for 4 minutes · 200 h low, 12 h max · IP45 · weight printed 1.5 oz for 299 g (10.5 oz)
The brightest boost in this group and the longest low setting — 1500 lumens for four minutes, 200 hours at the bottom — on a listing that gives its own weight as an ounce and a half.
Best for: A long trip where the lamp runs at the bottom of its range for days
≈ $23
