Pros: Looks great

Cons: Doesn't do its primary job well

This is a great looking lantern which seems really well designed, but, the leds are are obstructed by the reflectors that were designed more with elegance than utility in mind it seems.

The lighted area is a narrow circular band around the lantern, insufficient for any use. A single led flashlight (I have a Dorcy Keychain FL) seems to do a better job. I would like to see this lantern redesigned to make better use of the light output. I do think about 8 to 12 leds would better too.
