Nite Ize  Radiant 314 Rechargeable Lantern

This replaced a propane lantern after I got sick of mantles, single use tanks, etc. At max the propane unit might be slightly brighter but this worked fine for making and cleaning up dinner after dark. I wish it used a USB-C, the ancient connector on the unit shows this isn’t this year’s model. It charges quickly (a few hours up use took less than an hour to charge) but faster and current technology would be even better. Past that it is silent, easy to use, less then 1/4 the size and weight of the propane lantern with tank and it is far easier to adjust the light output. No solid data yet but looks like the battery will last through a long night, maybe even longer.

I had previously purchased this when it was full price and had recently lost it after over 2 years of use. was super shocked to see it so discounted considering how much I originally paid for it, and decided to buy it again hoping for that reliability I loved from my original one. I am super happy with my purchase and recommend this for anyone first getting into camping or for anyone who wants something reliable for a good price!

The lantern does what a lantern should do! Perhaps obvious, but worth considering: The clear plastic around the light isn’t frosted in any way, so it *will* blind you with the light of 1,000 suns if you’re not careful. At times, the light was so bright that it made it a bit hard to see what was around it. Probably best to hang somewhere above eye level!

Our home power went out for 2 days and we decided we better get a backup light for both home and camping. This was on sale on REI and appeared to do everything we need. It is not listed on the Nite Ize web site but appears to be a slightly smaller version of the RL2. It is plenty bright with 3 settings + amber for lower light and longer life. The small size, rechargeable, and adjustable light output make it a keeper. We ordered another one.

this is both a lantern and battery. comes with carrying case and charging cable that doesn’t quite stay in the little exterior pouch presumably intended for the charging cable. But I love it. Kicks out a decent amount of light given the size, and it’s can-sized, so does not take up much room (has clip at the top if attaching it to the exterior of your bag).

Nice, small and works well. Light is bright. Good for camping and for power outages at home. Well worth the price. A plus it can charge a phone!

Great product, but they have quality control issues. I bought two of them from REI less than two years ago and they recently both started leaking battery fluid, with a sharp metallic smell. I'm attempting to collect on the warranty now. Save yourself the time.

Hang it on bed rack over tailgate and provides perfect light for cooking.

Nice features. Haven’t used it yet especially the amber feature.
