Well... might as well put this train back on the right track...
I just received my test unit, and I must say, if first impressions count for everything I'd flush this baby right down the nearest toliet!
But first impressions are just that - first
impressions.
The Folding LED Lantern, as it likes to be called (not "toilet fodder"), actually does an acceptable job of lighting a small room well enough to navigate by. Most of its testing will have to wait until after dark, as this isn't some super bright light saber.
One use I could see for it right away was as a tent light. It hangs up quite nicely with its built-in swinging hook.
It should turn out to be bright enough to use for nighttime reading - as long as you are already at least partially adapted to darkness; for example while camping.
If you are plunged into instant blackness like in a power failure, this might not be the first light you want to reach for.
More later. I can't do a whole lot until after dark.
