Yesterday, I purchased the product below at Home Depot:

They have had it for a while, so this may not be news.
This is a very good purchase. This product is much more practical
than a Coleman gas lantern or propane lantern. It is more
practical than a fluorescent
lantern. And in some ways more practical than a flashlight.
I like it. It seems to be well constructed. The hexagonal ends
allow you to lay it flat in 5 different directions, but I think only 2
of those
are practical. This also keeps it from rolling like all the other
competition does.
It stands on its own, if you have a sturdy flat surface.
It only has an 800 mAh battery, but it is NiMH.
Since it is easily recharged, you can take it on road-trips and use
for a variety of things that require light.
It is not water resistant, but I bet it could be rigged with some
duct-tape to make it better.
It doesn't have a dimmer setting, which is the number one flaw to me.
It does have a night light, but that only works when
plugged in.
This would be an excellent light for cavern tour guides, especially
those doing lantern tours, like in Grutas de la Juxtlahuaca.
I am going to recommend this product.
I will keep this one, and might buy some more.
