The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Let's start with the positives about the Century LED Lantern:
+ Sturdy design
+ Long run time
+ I like the hanging hook on the top
+ Affordable price
- Light is blindingly bright, but doesn't illuminate at all.
I returned this lantern after one camping trip. It's useless.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Like most other people mentioned, this guy is blindingly bright, but what I realized - the real problem is in the glass or plastic that surrounds the light. It's purely clear. I took some sandpaper and scratched it up to produce a more opaque glass and it works great, lights up well and does not blind anyone anymore. Give that a shot if you still have this guy.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
As the previous reviewer illuminated, Century somehow succeeded in making a lantern that's blindingly bright but fails to cast a light.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Bought this in preparation for a car camping trip to Moab at my local REI store. I've never had so many problems. Maybe it was just me, but the bottom was impossible to screw on with the batteries in. It took my husband 5 minutes after I spent 15.
Still not the main problem... We have a new tent, so we set it up to and put the latern in to see if it could hang from the top, lightweight made that possible. Too bad after turning it on twice and off once, the button stuck and the ONLY way to turn it off was to take the batteries out. Despite everything we tried, the button is stuck and this will be going back to REI.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
[...]. We only read the reviews after purchasing, and almost returned it. However, it worked great on our trip, and during an Irene-related power outage. We set it on a small table in the tent and played a game of 'Trouble' while it poured rain outside. We also hung it at times and it gave enough light to function in our 6-person tent. To read with it you would need to have it close. We all enjoyed it! Especially considering the price!

Badly designed. Button broke after only a few uses. It was pretty nice while it worked.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Surprisingly bright light for such a small lantern, and really enabled me to get a few things done around my campsite when it got dark. Best part about this lantern was I took it on an 8 day camping trip in Montana and accidentally left the light on over night on the first day of the trip. The lantern maintained the same level of brightness for the next week and I didn't have to change the batteries. It was great.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
We mostly car camp. This light is just like the other reviewers say. Blinding, but nearly useless. In a tent, it works nicely. Doesn't help with cooking or setting up camp. I did like the hook that flips out, it does make this light a little more useful.

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Great tent light. I didn't need to use my book light to read and the light dissipates well. I did try to use it as a flashlight to find my way to an outhouse at one point, and it was pretty useless at that. Fairly light. Can attach it to a backpack. A little bulky for long-term backpacking

Comments about Century LED Lantern:
Like the other reviews said, the light output range could be better. However, I think it is adequate and serves its purpose for car camping. Light enough to hang from the center of a tent. Provides adequate light for getting adjusted, arranging the tent at night, etc. Nice because the light is not so bright that you will annoy other campers. Not as bright as a standard lantern though if that is what you are looking for.
