Today at BigLots I saw 4AA lanterns like the ones sold by Target last Christmas. These appeared identical. Three to a pack in grey, light blue, and light green colors. The packaging had no mention of levels, so I assume only one. $10 per pack. Also, they had more of the round Dot-it type lights (3 LEDs), with batteries for $9 per 3-pack.

Saw the same ones. Looks like they have a cluster of leds on the bottom. Dont know if they are any good or not. May have to pick some up just as spares for around the house.

I got some of the Target ones when they were reduced to $5. Not that bright and a bit of glare, as you might expect. Certainly okay at that price for emergency lighting. Never did check runtime.

Single level, 4 leds.
So-so output, lots of glare.

Not as bright or smooth as the Energizer 4AA folding lanterns.

Best post ever! :twothumbs I think I just found a new sig. :rolleyes:

I read a few of your other posts and I see that you were just being silly with this one. I am still trying to decipher the last two sentences.

Regards,
