Just noticed that Amazon.com is now listing this one with a max output of 55 lumens. The picture also shows the same rating so this is not a typo. Earlier this lantern used to be listed as 70 lumens. For instance, see this thread: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?266951-rayovac-sportsman-extreme-70l-mini-lantern
Now, Amazon.com link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H9NR6C/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Is this a downgrade, or did Rayovac suddenly develop a conscience and post a more accurate rating?

The photo shows they are now reporting ANSI lumens. My guess is, the ANSI lumens figure is closer to reality than the previously reported figure.

Good for Rayovac!
