Build and specs7.0/10
Four of five: ABS and steel-handle construction, 10 oz with batteries, 3.4 in wide and 4.8 in tall collapsed, and 140 lm with up to 90 h. No water rating is published.
Warranty and returns6.0/10
Lifetime warranty wording covers loss, theft and defects; the written terms and return window could not be read, and Amazon's 30-day return guarantee applies there.

Two of five: runs on AA batteries with no charging step, and opens by pulling the top up. No manual, spare parts or temperature range published.

About $16 for two lanterns with batteries included; typical price per lantern is low and no accessories are needed.

Live chat is promised on the brand home page and the Amazon seller rates 4.9; no phone number and the brand store would not load.
