"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 REI:

"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."
