Customer Critiques

My son had developed a fear of the dark so I thought to get him a flashlight, but typical flashlights seemed as well tough to turn on and children's flashlights were also flimsy. This one particular was just ideal! It really is both a spot light (what my son calls a giant flash light) for searching for Mommy out in the middle of the night and a lantern for when he wakes up and just wants a bit of light to feel secure. And of course he seeks out each dark area with it throughout the day to discover!
It is certainly durable. He's thrown it and dropped it a lot of instances with no problems. My only concern is that there's no automatic off: when it really is on, it is on (er, though from time to time it randomly shuts off). And it is Vivid. There are two brightness settings but there's barely a difference. It really is either 1 LED, three LEDs, or off.
I advocate receiving this lantern for fun or just to make your child really feel significantly more comfy with the darkness!

When I received the lantern, it turned off automatically immediately after ten-15 seconds.
I noticed in evaluations relating to this lantern, that other individuals have knowledgeable as well short intervals prior to it turning off.
What does this is really a stuck spring/lever on a sort of circuit breaker/timer.
The lantern is supposed to turn off automatically following roughly three minutes.
Yet, though in the box, this interval is lowered to ten-15 seconds so the batteries aren't drained by youngsters trying the toy in the shop.
When you take the lantern out of the box, you have to release it from the cardboard bottom by twisting a weird plastic screw. This plastic screw reaches into the bottom of the lantern, and keeps the spring on the circuit breaker/timer depressed whilst in the retailer. When unfastening the plastic screw, the spring is supposed to flip away from the switch it was previously activating, therefore raising the shut-down time to 3 minutes.
The massive difficulty some of us have experienced is truly this spring getting grow to be weak or stuck to the plastic holding the circuit breaker/timer in spot.
The fix is simple - just release the four screws holding the base together, split the lantern, and the circuit breaker/timer is the little black rectangular thingie held down by a screw that looks like it has a washer stuck to it.
Just stretch the spring away from the circuit breaker/timer.
And if you do not want the lantern to auto shut-off at all, just circumvent the circuit breaker/timer by soldering the wires running to it together.
When reassembling the lantern, just make certain you match the upper component the suitable way into the base: there are slides in the base, that the plastic glass has to fit onto. But it is dummy-operate - if the lantern wont go from lantern to flashlight mode just after assembly, then just release the screws and and re-orientate the upper part of the lantern (yeah, that's how I found out :-).
Otherwise, this is a sturdy toy, and I can only advocate it.
