MalloMe LED Camping Lantern
Score: 72/100
Energizer Weatheready Folding
Score: 72/100Rankings
The MalloMe LED Camping Lantern Flashlights Pack is a collapsible, portable lighting solution featuring COB technology for wide-area illumination up to 350 lumens. While it offers great brightness and portability, it relies on disposable AA batteries which can lead to rapid drain. It is best suited for casual campers and emergency preppers needing affordable, portable area lighting.
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.
