"I have had this lamp on monthly campouts for about two years with no problems. Used many times in the rain and for a 3 week motorcycle camping tour across northern Europe (also raining). A great value for the price. Will buy another Primus when it needs replacement."

"I purchased three of these from Steep and Cheap at Backcountry. com.

I installed the batteries in the first one and it did not work. I then set up the second one and it worked properly.

I returned to check the first one and removed the batteries."
