Buy Cheap Dorcy 49-1035 Industrial Lantern Rechargeable Xenon Review, I require one that won’t fail on me. Most flashlights of this size have batteries and bulbs held in by springs. Once you drop such a flashlight, either the bulb or the battery becomes intermittent. Also, the lenses and reflectors of most less expensive flashlights aren’t well-sealed, so over time the beam becomes dimmer and much more diffused. While the square edges of the Dorcy Lantern are great for positioning it in most lighting situations, it would also be nice to have a fold-out tripod device for pointing it at an angle and a hook for suspending it from something when the situation requires it.

The light is very bright with a long throw. Nevertheless it is much better for distance lighting beyond a number of yards than close up lighting as the beam is really narrow even though the reflector is really a big diameter. The situation is really a rugged material which will take a beating and is held together with bolts. I’m concerned that the case is not gasketed so I don’t know how that will affect the operation in wet weather. This is a rugged nicely built lantern. I like that it uses a sealed lead acid battery for plenty of power. Make certain you keep it on the charger when not in use as lead acid batteries do not like full discharge. The switch seems to become nicely sealed though. I’m hoping this will last many years as I’m tired of buying flashlights and having them crap out.

I bought this item 4 months ago and it’s always ready to use. I have just put it on recharge even although it was still operating nicely. I just want to be prepared within the situation of a power outage. I find the lantern form factor to become very convenient, the square shape enables for set down and the built in handle makes it very comfortable to use.
