Got one last week and it is great, measured 32Wh output at 5V 2A which means the 10,400mAh rating is REAL. About 400 lumens output and extreme runtimes in medium and low. Well built although glued all around so no modding possible. CW tint 5,700K with nice spread, about the side of a meteor.
I have a quick review coming soon when the runtime tests are done but I’m going to give you my word for $22 this is a steal, you won’t regret it.
At the time of my post there was a flash deal going on and it was $22.40, right now the price has gone back up but you can find the exact same lantern under other brands for about $28, or pay $36 for this superway one and get a smaller 4,000mah version free.
Runtime was Over 20 hours on high and 70hours on medium, not fully flat but a steady drop to about 50% power then LVP kicks in. Review should be up this weekend.
Saw this on Amazon after noticing GB had a sale on the Solarstorm K2 for $16.
Had to grab it at $7.99, even if it is a few years old…
Only 8 remaining at time of this post.

Buying lithium ion batteries through Amazon from a third party seller calling itself a Grocery already seems strange enough, but one named Bang Bang ???
I purchased those same cells linked from that seller. I made a similar comment at the time to wife, odd name indeed… Bang Bang Grocery, hmm… not sure what they’re aiming for here. Nearly two months later and no issues with the batteries far as I can tell! Try CamelCamelCamel and paste the AMZ link there to check the price history of an item, see if it’s really at an all time low and if there’s a pattern to price fluctuations
Always have liked Pannies, been pleased with Keeppower, and had good luck with Amazon, both from and through them: but I don’t need any Panasonic Bs or protected cells at the moment.
I have still been trying to figure out how much truth there is behind rumors they bin merchandise from different sources together at times.
Hard to imagine how they deal with returns, defects, counterfeits and serial numbers. Prefering not to believe, it is easier for me to attribute it to gossip, disgruntled employees, or competitors.
Still, after pointing out well recognized falsehoods involving fallacious flashlight lumen and battery mah claims, they either don’t pay attention, avoid doing their research, or seem not to care at all.
My bad, I meant to post it here, as this thread is what inspired me to search (“thorfire bulb” on Amazon) for those high CRI bulbs discussed above. I couldn’t find those, but it seems TF has a high rate of clearancing out old stock (ie VG10, bulbs, headlamps… lots of sold out listings)? I’m not sure the reason why they’re so cheap, but I’m sure you can tell I’m excited to report the deal haha.
It worked for me, and as vwpieces pointed out in the other thread, so does buying multiples. I made an order of 10 bulbs + 1 remote = $11 (and free 2 day shipping with Prime); quantities adjusted in cart after coupon applied. If I understood my father correctly, he got 6 + 6 for $12. Price goes up slightly from free (hard not to…) if you add more quantity than 1 + 1, but the coupon says 90% off qualifying items, and it’s still a killer deal. However, the code only works once per account, I believe; curious I tried to test it a second time, and see if it would also apply to any of their lights and altogether nogo. Fortunately, a lot of their lights seem to have (more realistic) promotions listed anyway
Here’s the link to other thread & repost:
Free RGBW smart bulb with remote, app, and over 16+million colors.
I ended up with 4 bulb sets and 4 remotes for only a couple bucks, I had a $15 “Warehouse Deal” Dell 90W AC power adapter in cart so I pulled the trigger.
Remotes will be here on Saturday, the bulbs and Dell AC will arrive Sunday.
No idea what I will use the bulbs for but Heck if I can dial in a nice tint I’ll use them as a simple remote light.
