Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"A 1-Watt LED boosts the output of the Brunton Glorb XB Lantern and pushes the shadows even further back from your campsite. Forget mantles, candles, fuels, and hot, breakable parts that aren't tent-compatible. Simply flip the switch on this battery-powered lantern and bathe your campsite, vehicle, or tent in light. Two modes let you choose between extra bright and regular power, and an inverse conical reflector aids light dispersion."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Lots of light in a small package. The Brunton Glorb LED XB Lantern provides 50 hours of bright light out of four AA batteries. Two illumination levels at the flip of a switch."

From REI:
"Great for backpacking, the lightweight Glorb™ LED XB lantern bathes your campsite in the glow of extra-bright light. 2-position switch lets you opt between normal light or extra bright with the 1-watt LED bulb; inverted conical reflector optimizes splay of light. Rubber sleeve enhances durability and easy, comfortable gripping. 3 swing-out legs increase stability; open or close 1 leg and the other 2 follow suit. Metal bale lets you carry the lantern with 2 fingers or hang it inside a tent or outside from a branch. LEDs cast even, white light that's good for close-in lighting; nearly indestructible LEDs drastically improve battery life. Runs on 4 AA batteries, sold separately."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Glorb?-LED gets pumped up. Our newest backpacking lantern puts out more light thanks to a 1-watt LED. A two-position switch lets you choose from normal power or extra-bright while our inverse conical reflector bathes your campsite in bright white light."

"I'm using this light since two years. The way that I'm using this light, for inside the tent only, it's strong enough and also secure."

"Used this little dude in the James Peak Wilderness in July. I used the little handle to hand it in my tent while I was getting ready for bed, around camp for finding things etc. The light is not a bright white light. Rather a dull blue light. It does a good job at lighting about a 10 foot diameter, but it is nothing like a full blown propane lantern."

"I found the Brunton Glorb XB rather novel in its design and performance. However its build quality was significantly less than what I would expect for a product costing 30+ dollars.

The lantern is powered by four AA batteries which are installed in a plastic battery carrier."
