There was a lot of discussion about this lamp a short time ago including the creation of diffuser lenses. Use the Search at the top of the page to find relevant threads. I believe it was most talked about in the LED forum.
Be sure to check the Reviewer's sites (I don't have one, but I believe Craig at the LEDMuseum does) and the Reviews Forum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Quickbeam, I found the threads on the Nuwai CK-120 12 LED lantern from www.shoplifestyle.com (which I own). Couldn't find a review on the Sportsmansguide lantern. It seems similar except it is a 20 LED lantern and does not mention the dimmer function.
I too would like info on this lantern. At last visit to Sportsman's Guide, they had sold out of these. I have been looking for something that puts out a good amount of light and would last for several days. My sister lives in an area that has power outages that last for days. If these aren't available does anyone have a suggestion for an alternate choice?
TIA,

Brinkman has a 2D 2-4 LED flashlight with a 100 hour run time. Light is good for getting around, just not that bright. Even 20 tiny LEDs will not be overwhelming.
What about an oil lamp?

Gas lanterns are also incredibly bright, but maybe not the safest things indoors.

There are several 4-D lanterns that use a PR bulb that can take an EverLED. You have to be careful to make sure the polarity is correct, otherwise you can blow it out.

Yes....I own one. In my opinion, the 12-LED lantern is almost as bright, a lot more versatile, and a lot cheaper, but the 20-LED is good. It badly needs a diffuser, though.

Steve, Thanks for posting a link to your previous discussion of the 20-LED. I don't know why I couldn't find it when I searched before. I am looking for something that produces more light to replace twin tube fluorescents. I use them at the cabin (no electricity) instead of the built-in gas lanterns which produce heat and odor.
Hi Steve,
Sportsman's Guide must have read your comments about their 20 LED lantern. They have a 30 LED model that has a 1/2 power setting and it also looks as if they have added a frosting/difuser to the enclosure.

I second Steve's comment. Could not have said it better myself. I have both, but only use the 12 LED because it has a diffuser and the 20 LED light does not. I stuck some parchment paper in the 20 LED and that certainly helps.
