Duronic Camping Lantern LED Torch RL74, Hiking SOS Electric Red Flashing Rechargeable Flashlight, USB Charging, Emergency Light, Handheld or Freestanding [Energy Class A]

The media could not be loaded. Brought this torch in December 2023 as a Christmas stocking filler gift and again in Dec 2024 for myself. Fabulous versatile torch that you can use in an emergency power-cut situ or when you need a bit of light. Can be used as a standard torch, or red flashing emergency warning lamp. Has a comfortable carry handle at the top and the side of the lamp. Wind-up charging feature is super easy to use and the torch is easily charged using the wind up feature as a top up. Also comes with a USB charging cable. You will need your own charger adaptor. The battery holds its charge well. The light level is perfect for indoors our outdoors. Great size and lightweight. A must buy!

Nice piece of equipment,wether camping or emergency lighting,good value,light weight and dual charging.

This is a very good torch, at a reasonable price. The head of the lamp (featuring 3 LED bulbs) is quite bright. You can charge this via USB (e.g. direct from a wall socket [if you've a plug adapter], or thru a computer). Or you can use the wind-up handle, and power it yourself. Additionally, you can connect a device - e.g. a mobile phone - to this torch, and charge that devise via the wind-up mechanism. As such, this is a handy lantern to have if you go camping.The body of the torch also serves as a light - but it's not very bright. You can select between white light or flashing red for SOS (which is quite dim). The handle can be titled, depending on how you choose to hold this torch. It's made from plastic, and is rain proof. When fully charged, it will function on full power for about 2 hours - and from then onwards will dim. After about 6 hours, it's completely flat.I paid £13 for this product. I've used it for camping, and it works well. I've added some photos (including one with a mobile phone, for size comparison).

Best camping lantern ever. Great design. Easy to handle and carry around. Can be used either as a torch or an upright lantern. Rechargeable. Perfect brightness. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

Really good very bright, classic design

Great light for all purposes took it on dog walk while on a boating holiday and works well as torch and lantern

Just received the torch which closely resembles an insulated drinking mug in appearance and size, yes its small, its lightweight, its versatile and its powerful, despite only having 3 led's in the torch part they have a very good long range while not using much power, the lantern part has more led's giving a good spread of light but less usage time. I like the ability to regenerate more battery power if needed and the opportunity to tap off this power for a phone or ipad that has gone flat. The torch comes with 2 leads that would match a few phones etc and the adjustable torch handle can cleverly house one of these leads, very handy. A very well thought out product at a very good price.Stated usage time after 1 minute cranking; torch 15 mins, lantern 6 mins, red flashing light 2 hrs, then after a full charge from pc [via lead] or adaptor [not supplied]' ; torch 5.5 hrs, lantern 2.25 hrs, red light 30hrsOne question I would like an answer to is 'periodically put the lamp on charge' or words to that effect, seeing it is charged via the laptop I wondered how long it is recommended to be left plugged in before it is deemed to be sufficiently recharged, the laptop wont tell me and neither will the lampI have now had this torch over 2 years, it sits on a shelf in the cellar and has had occasional usage, still retaining a bit of power but quickly boosted with the crank handle, what I particularly like is the thought that while it sits idle there is no deteriorating battery corroding terminals, its a brilliant piece of kit

A very useful torch-come-lantern. The charging options are very useful. However, the handle position could be better. You can lock the handle in a 90* position to aim the torch like a pistol, but that puts the body of the lamp and its weight (such as it is) back over the hand, which I find a little awkward. That aside it gives a quite satisfactory illumination and the handle opens to store the usb cable which is also good. Had the balance when aiming the torch felt better I would happily have given 5 stars.
