Review: Mansov Portable Light lantern

Thanks, Miller. I real like the lamp so much. And I will take a pic like you said :smiley: .

The lantern is a bit large for my needs but that’s actually a very good price.

nice review :slight_smile: i have a similar lantern ( of a different brand name, but same style) and like the 3D set up. I had planned to mod mine to hold 3 18650 cells and change the emitter to warm white to improve its tint. The removable diffuser & top is a great idea for hanging in a tree or tent while camping.

Nice review. :smiley:

:+1: I think you should need a flashlight.

I have a similar Lantern I purchased over a year and a half ago that uses Nichia emitters. I use triple AA to D adapters instead of D Cells. They seem to last a long time. So far they’ve lasted through 2 power outages. Each one lasting several hours.
I should mention the adapters are 3 cells in parallel, not series

Where could I find such an adapter?? 3AA-> D
I have several of these lanterns.

I got mine off ebay. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the seller’s name. It’s been a couple of years. I’ll see if I can locate some.

Edit: I found some here. I’m pretty sure I paid the same ripoff price since they’re not common like the 2 cell versions. Most 3 cell versions are wired in series, so be careful if you look elsewhere.

I found some on eBay . Thanks though!

same seller I found above?

No I don’t believe so I will look. They look the same. We will see.

No, they are from different sellers. Only green one in the store. However, the two lamps are nearly the same.

This looks like a great lantern, I might pick one up.

Light on.

I found one on Ebay and have it and some 3xAA to D cell adapters on the way.

:beer:

I feel that dobilili should make his\ her intentions clear. Joined in 2012 and has made 12 posts. Is this review by the amazon seller themself or was it a freebe for a review? To me this looks like a lantern that you would find in a dollar store. Not worth it even with 10% off.

I paid $30 for my lantern, but it has Nichia emitters for a nice warmish glow.

looks like the one biglots has for $9.99
looks the same.
and there are hundreds of varients of this favourlight (sp) unit.
i would have grabbed one had not a bunch of the etekcity ones show up at work.time to get modding….
maybe get in touch with the factory for a blf special?
they put enough other names on them LOL.

Only $9.99, are u kidding? Is it on Ebay? Same item?
