Rugged Camping lamp with LED cold light and long battery life

First impression: Huch, which is but small. I had imagined a lamp with such a luminous intensity slightly larger.
The lamp has processed a total of dibasic. The plastic is nowhere to be thin, the lamp makes a robust impression and Rubberized surfaces also allow a good grip with wet hands.

Commissioning:
Inserting batteries and go. The lid of the battery box is a little stiff, but that's probably because of the seal, which protects the battery box from moisture. After inserting the batteries, the lamp will be a whole lot harder.
After pressing the power button you will be surprised with the first brightness level. So much power in such a small lamp. 200 lumen I already knew from my LED Lenser P7. Since the Camp 200 the light output affects a much larger area, the 200 lumen but not too bright. The second stage is a little darker, but at night they do just fine.

Function & handling:
Press 1x: bright light, 2x press: dim lights, laaaaaange press: flashing light.
In contrast to the lamps of LED Lenser have not gone through all stages around the lamp off again. When the lamp is a few seconds in the bright mode, only the button only has to be actuated once again to turn off the lamp.

The light produced by the LED module in the base of the lamp and dimmed via a reflector in the lid down and scattered, so that the light output mainly then appears where you need them (down), and not hidden. Anyone who wants to can take off the reflector and the lamp on the integrated hooks in the floor to hang for example to create a diffuse lighting tent. The hook in the bottom of the lamp sits quite safe in the parking position and bit fiddly rauszukriegen there. Long fingernails or an appropriate tool as a lever are in demand here. For the hook but also triggers only from the park position when it is really wanted. It was still a double hook supplied to the lamp on larger railings etc. to hang. However, I have never needed him.

As I said, we the lamp a bit more difficult, which is inconvenient when you insert the batteries, but do not. On the contrary, the fact that the emphasis (the 4 D-cell batteries) is at the lowest point of the lamp, the overall center of gravity is pretty far down. The lamp does not fall even with small Anremplern to, but catches himself again.
Running the lamp can be comfortable to hold than the carrying handle. If you compare the lamp on the table, the handle disappears due to its shape almost by clings to the body.
I have the lamp often used during the camping holiday. eg. to find the way to the toilet at night to illuminate the tent at night when you go to bed, or whenever illumination is required. Even as lighting for cutting board in late dinner she was suitable. However, the lamp dims so strong that one must move with the cutting board either seh close to the lamp ran, you have to hang up the lamp, or someone needs of the lamp holding up briefly (Alternatively you can of course a small tower building). Also known as the guitarist for lighting the lamp suitable wonderfully.

The lamp has a small green indicator light integrated in the base via the power button, which blinks every few seconds and is designed to facilitate locating the lamp in the dark. Well ... If you Genoa hinguckt one sees from the Mini-LED flash and too short. I've never used. If it should be stockduster wirklcih times, perhaps quite useful, but only if the lamp easily accessible or is suspended somewhere. When the lamp is in a corner should be the green LED no longer notice. Especially in the chaos which prevails mostly in tents ...

After camping the lamp has vanished in the closet, but we still brought out often enough. Whenever one needs fast good working light in one corner it is on the spot. For nightly repairs Auto is super. Thus, the function is not limited on camping ...

The lamp was also used as it has been raining. does not mind. A fall down from table height she survived several times without showing any signs of wear. Your optical robust impression confirmed the lamp so in use.

Despite the intensive use while camping holidays and the occasional use then the light output was not significantly lower after several Betriebsstungen. Even when comparing with new batteries, no loss of light output was to be discovered.

The lamp strikes the gas lamp camping in almost all disciplines, especially in the security, while delivering greater luminous efficacy.
BUT: The lamp produces COLD LIGHT. So rather uncomfortable. Too Bad. There are now also warm LED modules. It would have been nice if one thereof would have been built. Unfortunately, I could find no information before buying. Therefore, here the explicit reference! Who partout can not stand cold light or a lamp for cozy evenings investigated is ill advised. Who, like me, a functional lamp looking just right.
Another small drawback: The lamp just has two dimming levels. The second also is relatively bright even if everything else is dark. A diffenzierteres dimming would be desirable in a new edition of the product.

Overall, a very good, robust and useful lamp at an affordable price. Despite the small drawbacks, there are 5 star, because there are no real flaws and actually not really interfere in the operation.
