Recommendations for LED Lanterns

[Max5476]

I'm going camping in a few weeks, and could do with updating my LED lantern for general light in the evening. Considering the advance in LED technology and torches, there doesn't appear to be much choice, and of the choice there is, not much in the way of genuine un-biased reviews.

The brighter the better, it would need to last for a weeks camp (either with an in built rechargeable or replaceable batteries (preferably AA as i have loads of rechargeables). Realistically I wouldn't spend more than £50 but happy for suggestions at any price point.

Last time I went camping I used on of these, and it was surprisingly good considering it's price. I would buy another but feel there must be a better choice.

Thanks for the feedback, it looks like I will be waiting for a year and saving for the CL30R,

Unfortunately prior experience of a coleman dual fuel lantern, which claims 861 lumens will always leave me thinking that the 200-300 lanterns are a bit dim.

I also need to think about how they can be charged, as i would probably want 20-30 hours of run time, or enough batteries to last that long, which all add up.

Modern battery technology has come on leaps and bounds.

You lot should make the transition to 18650 cells.

Doesn't even need a battery:
