Hi All,

Since my wife saw this, we have used it in several
power outages. Just shine a flashlight at a
clear jug of water. Presto! A lantern:

I guess it helps, but I have a couple of LED lanterns that are bright
and last a very long time on a set of batteries.


I've got a couple of LED lanterns too and they are OK to find your way
around or have comforting light but even with a couple of dozen LED's,
there is not enough light to read by. Like my old Coleman gasoline
lantern but only if weather is cool as heat can be a problem indoors
during the summer if power fails.


I like that it gets rid of the dark or glare problem
associated with a direct flashlight beam. It is a very
gentle, non-blinding light
