Insights
“There are no modes, no dimming options, no strobe/flashing mode. The whole lantern produces 190 lumens in a 360 degree light.” - Reddit User Review
Takeaway: a single brightness can be frustrating when you want to conserve battery or have softer ambient light.
“Works great but it is heavy … when we started to go lightweight, it was too much weight. We still use it for short hikes.” - Trailspace User Review
Takeaway: The lantern performs well, but its weight makes it impractical for ultralight backpacking—best suited for shorter, less weight-sensitive trips.
“The light quality is fine, but the controls are ridiculous. We had to Google how to turn it off. The fold down legs are a little wonky and don’t seem very stable.” - REI user review
Takeaway: Confusing or non-intuitive controls hurt usability. Simplified functional features matters as much as brightness. Stabilizing / Mount features not sturdy.

Prioritizing ScoresTo make the comparison meaningful, I assigned priority scores (0–10) for the two distinct groups:
Ultralight Camper:
Values ease of use and battery efficiency highly.
Accepts tradeoffs in brightness if it means lighter weight.
General Camper:
More balanced approach.
Prioritizes brightness (score 9) and beam options (score 8) since comfort and visibility matter more than absolute weight.
