Reviews & Ratings for Streamlight The Siege Alkaline-Powered Compact Hand Lantern — 18 reviews — Page 1

It is compact and effective in illuminating smaller areas. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The "D" batteries which it uses are readily available and reasonable in cost. The red emergency mode is a nice feature, albeit I hope I never have to use it.

Own two of these(soon to buy more) and use them for everything from emergency lights to fishing, to hunting/camping. The batteries last seemingly forever! The clip style handle makes hanging a breeze. Added bonus is they don't get scalding hot so they're safe to use inside tents etc where possible contact with either the tent or yourself is highly likely. Rugged and durable as well.

I wanted something that had maximum run time and ran off standard batteries so I didn't need access to a 120 outlet to recharge it. This fit the bill perfectly. The down side is even at max output of 540 lumens it's not overly bright, not compared to a propane lantern, but I knew that ahead of the purchase. I used it during a power full day power outage this past winter and it was adequate to light up the basement and navigate around to shut off breakers. The big seller to me is on a 12 pack of D batteries you can run 210 hours at 275 lumens, and 885 hours on 55 lumens! So if you want a good prepper light that would allow for days and weeks of supplied light source (albeit at low output) and will run off stored batteries this is a good solution.

Very bright. Has 3 brightness settings. Easy to use. Has multiple hanger options. Because it runs on "D" batteries it should last a long time before getting dim. The "D" batteries do make it a little heavier than it looks.

This is the second one of these that I have purchased. The first one is about five years old. It has given excellent service. I bought it for my wife in case of power outages. I'm retired, but she still has to get up and get ready for work. Soooo, in the spirit of helping out and as a good husband, I bought the first one so that she could still have some light to shower and do her make-up before leaving for work, in those times that we lost power overnight. I'm just nice that way. Anyway, during deer camp this year, we lost power for an evening and I couldn't help but think how nice it would have been to have had that lantern to light the room while we passed the hours sipping our toddies and telling lies. Fortunately, we regained power about midnight and I fired up my 'lectric blankie and wrapped myself in the arms of Morpheous in order to match wits with Ol' Bucky the next morning. Another use for this lantern at deer camp, where we have limited light near the sink, it can be separated from the base and hung overhead for those using the sink. This is a great lantern: excellent light, several useful modes and adaptations, with great battery life. Good price for a great item.

Excellent lantern for the sales price, bright LED, small and compact. We have had a wet Winter with a few Power outages so I bought 3 lanterns for each of my kids. I hope the battery life will be long but time will tell if they last a long time.

Lantern preformed as advertised.I plan to buy another one.I recieved the lantern in about 5 days in perfect condition.This latern will serve as a backup light when the power goes out.I will most likely use the lantern when I go to the woods when I hunt.

I bought this to help during power outages.it is quite bright and will serve its purpose.I have only had this for a short period of time so i cant speak to its durability however it does seem well made.

Bought this to use as a tent light in an upcoming camping trip. I have used it around the house and seems to produce a good amount of illumination for a small lantern. Produced enough light to move around in a 25'X25' living room. It seems to be solidly built.

Great lantern, well constructed, good fit and finish. Light is perfect for camping and or emergency power outages. Liked the first one so much purchased three more. You can not go wrong with this lantern. I highly recommend this light, you won't be disappointed.
