Glocusent 135 LED
Score: 92/100Rankings
The Glocusent 135 LED is a high-performance rechargeable lantern featuring 1500 lumens, IP68 waterproofing, and an impressive 200-hour runtime. Its main trade-off is the short duration of its maximum emergency mode and a lack of detailed weight documentation. It is best suited for campers and emergency preparedness users requiring durable, long-lasting, and bright illumination.
The Energizer Weatheready is a versatile, foldable camping lantern that delivers reliable 500-lumen illumination with a unique collapsible design. Its main trade-off is the reliance on disposable D batteries, which adds ongoing cost and bulk compared to rechargeable models. It is best suited for emergency kits where long-term low-mode storage and device charging are priorities.
