This is an improvement on one of our best selling products. This new model has a total of 13 LED's and has some great features. The rugged three mode switch allows you to do the following; Push it once and 4 ultra bright white LED's housed in extremely efficient reflectors spring to life from the top of the unit providing an extremely effective and penetrating flashlight. A second push turns off the flashlight and activates 5 white LED's in the body of the lantern. These LED's have their light efficiently dispersed by a well designed parabolic reflector that sits above them and makes for a very functional tent or emergency light. This same parabolic reflector does its magic when the button is pushed a third time and the white LED's cycle off and 3 Red strobe LED's are activated making for a very visible and effective emergency beacon. This is s great alternative to the dangers of an open flame candle in your home during a power outage. Good idea to keep one in your car for those possible emergencies and it's light weight and compact size make it ideal for backpackers who need a tent light as well as a flashlight. Buy a few for yourself and keep s few around to use as gifts. Everyone loves them and all the ways in which they find uses for them!
