HeroBeam® 2 x LED Lantern - THE ORIGINAL Collapsible Tough Lamp with Magnetic Base - Batteries Included - Great Light for Camping, Fishing, Garden, Festivals - UK COMPANY

After hours researching lamps I went with these. They seem to be a good price for two lamps under twenty pounds. They are also more cost effective as they take 3 normal AA batteries as a lot of others I looked at take much bigger batteries that cost a lot to buy. I also use rechargeable batteries in these to keep the costs down over time. They each have four magnets at the bottom that are really strong and really handy for what we use them for. The purpose for buying them was not for the typical camping experience but we needed them for some light with cows calving in a barn that is temporarily without power for the next few weeks. We've only had them less than week but they have been really good the last two nights to leave on all night. The magnet sticks them right to the metal posts in the barn, very handy. It probably depends on the batteries but for the brand new rechargeable batteries we used the light lasted from half eight last night until one pm today. The light was considerably dull by that time but it does stay bright for a good few hours before dimming. The only con with these lights is we wish they had more than the one light setting. They are really good and bright but it would be handy if we could dim the light a bit which would also make them last longer but still we are very happy with them so far.

I bought this product because I have a camping trip coming up and some other reviews were favourable. Having prime meant it wouldnt be long before I could test the product and being a bit of a torch/light fanatic I always put such items through their paces. Rather than explain how I like the product, I want to write this review for anyone looking for a lantern, torch, area light whatever it may be. Ease Of Use: remove bottom screw cap, insert 3xAA batteries (i recommend panasonic eneloop rechargeables as these have lasted 20 hours without the light so much as dimming). Pull up the lantern to "unfold" it. The light comes on. To turn it off, close the lamp. Simple and efficient. Brightness: Very bright for only 3 AA batteries. The light emits far and wide for a lightweight lamp device yet without being so ridiculously bright it would be uncomfortable. It feels like they have really considered user comfort just as importantly as brightness and throw and have reached a pefect balance. It lights up our large 8 man octagonal tent perfectly. You can still read a book fine with one lamp attached to the top of the tent. The second unit is now in my shed in place of having to run mains up the garden. Its perfect. Can also work in the loft, the airing cupboard, walk in wardrobes, under beds, as a garden lamp, its just a perfect little accessory where you may need light. And with the right batteries will last a very long time left on before a battery change is required. Overall I love the product and whilst ive only had it a short while already my list of uses is massive. I couldnt recommend a product more for its versatility and usability.

Like many people I have bought the expensive lights, the millions of candles lights, the portable lights...the lot. Each has a major downfall....expensive batteries, recharging points not available or long recharge times, heavy to hold, not that bright. The list goes on. I wanted a torch I could carry, put down to chill in the garden or inspect something. I wanted it easy to use, no tricky buttons. At the same time it has to look good. This lamp does all that. The best thing from my point of view is I always have AA batteries in, so if it needs new batteries, it is easy and cheap! The way it slides to open makes it easy to make sure you turn it off....no more standing it on the lamp section and discovering later I left it on...so it is dead. It is light, but not so light as to say cheap made, it is light enough to use and strong enough to stand up to a light breeze if it was on the ground. The handles make it easy to hang up on a hook etc. Would I buy it again...definitely. I don't think I will need to repurchase though. It sits next to my wellies, in the hall, waiting to go out to the goats, lambs etc. I can quickly put it down and tend to them in decent light. It really is a big deal the battery thing, I don't know how often my Maglit has sat waiting to be refilled with those expensive batteries. Then I try to avoid using it because I don't want to spend a fortune on new batteries. No torch does everything, but for me this is good.

Just received a pack of 2 of these lanterns for close on £20. I had been looking for something following recent power cuts at home and work. (After much searching here on Amazon I found a 500 lumen lantern at £15 that looked about as good as you can get for a relatively low price. However, it takes D size batteries which are neither cheap nor readily available in all stores these days. I decided to keep looking and then found this twin pack that seemed to tick all the boxes). This particular lamp is half the price of the 500 lumen one and runs off 3 x AA batteries - these are very cheap and very available! However, it is only 300 lumen. I was attracted to this model due to the spec, price and the many 5 star reviews - most coming from customers who received a discount for providing a fair review. (I tried but failed to get a similar discounted deal; too late!) I was therefore determined to provide my own review based on paying full price. The lamps arrived within a few days and were nicely boxed and packaged. They are of a similar size to a can of baked beans. The base unscrews easily to allow the batteries (not provided) to be inserted. Two hinged carry handles fit very neatly into the plastic, metallic grey coloured body. Pulling the lamp open automatically turns the light on (closing it turns it off). The light is extremely bright and cannot be looked into comfortably. The 3 LED strips provide a uniform all round light that is quite silver and somewhat unnatural - a normal characteristic of LED lights. The 'amount of light' is actually quite good considering only 3 AA's are employed - a small, black dark room can be illuminated to walk around safely, and a good reading level of light is provided in the immediate 2 to 3 feet distance. However, do not expect the same amount of light you get from a small light bulb - this lantern is not a substitute for household lights or lamps; it is for camping, outdoors and emergency use only. I think one selling point for this lantern is its suitability for elderly folk to have next to the bed for night use - the simple mode of turning on and off makes it ideal for anyone who may struggle with fiddly light switches - The same benefits could apply to young children as well. On the downside, I don't agree with the comments regarding the ruggedness of the lamp body - it looks really smart, but the plastic material may well shatter if dropped onto a hard surface (I would not like to risk drop testing it). All in all I do like these lamps and think they are worth £10 each (probably not much more). They give off a reasonable degree of light, operate very easily and look good. I would recommend them and will probably buy more if I come to need to. All that remains to be seen is how long the batteries last, and more importantly how long the LED strips and the internal switch lasts - but I'm optimistic. Would definitely make a good present for young/teenage boys or blokes who like gadgets!

We have had a couple of power cuts in our apartments recently so wanted something which would give us a good light to be able to sit and read and move around in safety, should it happen again. These lamps arrived with batteries so were good to go immediately, I have given battery life 4 stars as I dont know how long they will last if are used for long periods but as are LED would imagine should get quite a long time as my other LED bulbs use very little mains power . The case is sturdy and compact there are 2 handles which you can use to carry or hang it from and also on the underside there are 4 very strong magnets which grab at anything metal and will hold it in place so can 'hang' it by them or a fold out plastic hook (that is a bit more difficult to get out but gets easier with practice) I would imagine that would hang well around a rail in a tent or wardrobe or maybe a hook in the garden or the boot of the car. The lamp is blinding to look at but would be great if the car broke down or on a camping trip . We will probably keep one in the car for walking from the car on dark nights and another in the drawer incase of power cuts or the fuse blowing . Can see us probably buying another set in time and I know our neighbours were impressed and will be buying some too. Def value for money.

I have been looking for a decent lantern at a reasonable price to take camping and for those late evenings in the garden following a bbq. These look very stylish and seem to be quite sturdy (one survived being dropped onto a solid floor from waist height with no sign of damage). Our village has no street lighting so these will be well used to fully enjoy those long summer nights sitting out in the garden. They seem a viable alternative to more expensive garden lighting which we have purchased in the past and have been disappointed with the results as they were nowhere near as efficient and bright as these. The size is great and fits in one hand in the collapsed state with the metal handles making it easy to carry or hang from a bracket/hook. They are great for camping/backpacking as the small size means they take up little space. I can't comment on battery life as I have only had them for 4 days and even though they have been used every night it is too early to tell, I am hoping that with the LED technology that battery life will be excellent. The lanterns are easy to turn on, simply grasp the top and bottom and extend apart. I like the fact that you can adjust the brightness according to how far apart you extend them. Extend it open less than one inch and you get a subtle glow, great for reading without disturbing others. Extend it fully and it easily provides plenty of light to walk etc. One thing about lanterns is they can easily blind you as there is no way to direct the light away from you so if using these to illuminate your path then they need holding above your head or to one side otherwise you won't be able to see a thing! Not a major issue but something to keep in mind. All in all these have surprised me with how they look and the illumination they provide - I definitely recommend them.

This a a well-designed and well-made lantern. Very cleverly made so the light pushes down into the body of the lantern when not in use. No need for a switch, as it is turned off and on by the action of pulling or pushing the light into and out of the base.That feature alone makes this super little-but-powerful lantern worth buying. It also looks good, and the quality shines out. (Sorry, couldn't resit the pun there - and anyway puns are meant to moaned at.) However, no moans about this lantern. It emits a brilliant light. Try not to look directly at it, or you will get an after image on your retina - it's that powerful. The folding handles are another neat design feature, as they can be used to carry the lantern, or hang it from any convenient hook. It runs on three AA batteries, so lots of juice and the potential to last for many hours. If you can, use rechargeable batteries, such as the Amazon basics AmazonBasics AA Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries 2000 mAh [Pack of 8 ]. These batteries come ready charged and save money in the not-so-long run. I use nothing other than rechargeable batteries now, and, to keep them in top form, invested in a smart battery charger. This is the one to go for. Youshiko YC4000 Intelligent AA AAA Professional Standard Battery Charger (UK Version) with 1000mA charge current + USB Port

These are splendid lights. I bought four for my family who were going camping. They are delighted with them. I have one myself and find the light truly bright: it lightens my sitting room bright enough to read. The light itself is very well made and looks strong enough to withstand the normal knocks of camping and outdoor life. The base unscrews to reveal the batteries - 3 AA . There is a hook in the base lid that pulls out so you could hang from a tent pole. To activate the light simply pull the two handles up and the lights automatically switch on. The handles can also act as a stand to lift the light off the ground. Everything about this light is really well made, and it's lightweight compact design is a must for campers or walkers. I keep one on my car boot as a 'just in case' . I think it would be ideal for places like a loft, garage or under stairs cupboards. Highly recommend. NBailey

Ich habe mir die Hero Beam im Doppelpack für‘s Campen gekauft. Der Versand verlief reibungslos und ich hatte die Lampen nach ca 3 Tagen zu Hause. Sie kamen gut verpackt und machen einen Wertingen Eindruck. Die Lampen sind wirklich Ultra hell und man sollte es vermeiden direkt hineinzusehen. Durch‘s ausziehen werden die Lampen eingeschaltet, je nach dem wie weit man sie herauszieht lässt sich die Helligkeit etwas variieren. An der Unterseite der Lampe ist ein Magnetfuß und ein ausklappbarer Haken. Die Magnete sind stark genug um die Lampe einhändig auszuziehen. Das Gehäuse ist aus Plastik und verträgt wohl keine Stürze auf harten Boden, allerdings habe ich das noch nicht getestet ;-) Batterien sind inklusive und 5 Jahre Garantie. Ich bin super zufrieden und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt auf jeden Fall (26€ für 2 Lampen).

Güzel sarı ışığı var beğendim alacaklara tavsiye olunur, içerisinden pilde çıktı…..👍

Muy buena calidad. La luminosidad es muy destacada, pero hay que tener en cuenta que es para una habitacion o lugar no demasiado grande. Al mirarla directamente molesta. No dispone de interruptor de encendido apagado. Al desplegarla se enciende, y para apagarla hay que cerrar la linterna. La compré porque a diferencia de otros modelos, esta funciona con tres pilas AA (muchas lo hacen con pilas D, mas caras) y la autonomia , de momento es buena. El pack de dos linternas hace que el precio sea mas economico, asi puedo tener una en casa y otra en el coche.

Lampade compatte e di buona luminosità. Illuminano a 360' adeguatamente (come una 40w) una stanza. Perfette per blackout. All'esterno illuminano in un raggio di due tre metri. Si possono portare con le maniglie, appendere con il gancio inferiore, o fissare a una superficie metallica con i magneti alla base. Chiude occupano lo spazio di un barattolo di conserva. Sono molto semplici e piuttosto solide. Ne uso una per emergenza a casa. L'altra in auto. Da verificare ancora l'assenza di infiltrazioni sotto la pioggia. Pro: piccole, LED luminosi, usano comuni pile AA, prezzo (scontato) adeguato. Contro: se si trasportano conviene usare un elastico per evitarne l'accensione casuale. In definitiva sono soddisfatto.
