So I bought this lamp more of an emergency situation, because I desperately needed a lantern lamp for grilling, as we had last time, lost the flesh from his eyes. After she arrived Amazon typically after 2 days delivery time (and only with Standard shipping), I unpacked it, put batteries (this I recommend the Duracell 10 Pack D-Block batteries, 10 pieces for about 11 because I also even a D-Maglite have) and they shone. And is incredibly bright. Also on the small stage of the glow is not to be despised. So really recommended because they also deal with the very economical power consumption. The 4 D batteries can shine forever. The compass on the lampshade is actually just a little gimmick, but it works. And for 12.90 you can really go wrong there.
