+++ +++ Design & Processing
The lamp is held in plastic material, only the inner side is equipped with a metal spiral. The processing of the lamp looks absolutely fine at first glance, the threads of the battery cover can be up and turn without issues. Likewise, the mechanism for opening and closing the lamp goes smoothly by hand.
+++ +++ Features
Screwed to the lower cover from the lamp, including is the battery compartment, which is provided for 3x AA batteries. By turning the upper part of the lamp to the left, so the lamp opens and this can be used as lantern. I
m compressed state, the lamp can be used as a small flashlight, and this should be rather used only as a last resort, since each LED flashlight works better. As a nice extra feature to bundle the light but it is all times and lost things can also be reflected so in the tent or on the balcony.
The lamp has three light versions. A dimmed, a bright and flashing. This is controlled by the Power button on the side of the device.
According to the manual the camping lamp has protection IP44. This means that the lamp is protected against solid foreign objects with a diameter from 1.0 mm and against the access with a wire; as against splashing water. However, to prolong the life of the manufacturer recommends the use in heavy rain to avoid. If however he recommends after use to take out the batteries and let the lamp dry.
The LED service life are the Manufacturers of 100,000 hours and working time with 50 hours (Working hours but varies depending on the quality of the batteries). Likewise, should be 30 lumens brightness.
+++ Conclusion & closing remarks +++
All in all, I express from my side only positive things about the camping lamp. The lamp seems to be well protected against normal moisture and enough light. Everything else will possibly show in practice.
