Streamlight siege lantern - Streamlight The Siege Alkaline-Powered Compact Hand Lantern

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.
