That doesnt look bad at all! I have a 3D lantern; I bought two during a power outage at the cottage (if at home, I'd have a thousand of them, ya know?)... it had HORRIBLE glare. So I wrapped the outside in plastic food wrap until it reduced down to where I was happy and my retinas stopped melting, then secured it with 2 of my wife's elastic hair ties.
I'll see if I can find a link or pic...

There it is. Not too different from yours in terms of the internal reflector and output. Handy things, aren't they?!

I would want to mod this lamp to connect or install lithium batteries such as 18650's.
I have other lanterns that use D cells that there ok, but their heavy and bulky plus need to carry spare D cells around.
What the lantern requires if it doesn't have one already is an external input jack for other power sources.
You could easily mod this lantern for USB input power. If the battery carrier can be modded to accept lithium batteries it could converted to a rechargeable lantern.
