Great bright, but warm, glow
By Prince of Peas on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016
While these are a bit smaller than I they would be, they are still very efficient and bright. I actually bought these and basically the same units made by Etekcity, both from Amazon. The casings on both look identical (although the Etekcity is only in black) and they both operate in the same manner, i.e., lift the top out from inside the bottom portion and the light turns on.The difference between them is that the MalloMe has a soft glow since the LEDs are surrounded by a white opaque globe, whereas the Etekcity are much brighter since the LEDs are lined up vertically in the center of the pop-up, with no globe around them. They are both very good, which one you choose is dependent on how you intend to use these. This product is much more suited for reading light inside of a tent, for example or for lighting up a patio table. The Etekcity has a brighter, but more harsh light, something you'd use to try and light up an entire space, more like a flashlight than a lamp. Nonetheless, this still throws off plenty of light, especially given its small size and light weight.I am using both as guides for a very long, winding driveway when guests come and both ther MallowMe and Etekcity work fine for that purpose.The Etekcity costs a few dollars more but it comes with the batteries installed, i.e., 12 AA batteries, 3 per lantern. If you do the math, there's not much difference in cost, just make sure you have 12 AA batteries if you order the MallowMe.This is a good product and a good price. If you're looking for a nice, bright, soft glow in an easy to carry, good looking lantern, you can't go wrong with this lantern.

Nice style and colors, but they don't hold up in the rain
By Kristina J. Dombroski on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024
I had previously purchased the green and blue 2-pack, and really liked how well they worked on our camping trips, so I bought the red and purple 2-pack so my kids wouldn't fight over the lanterns. We went on our annual camping trip, and were unfortunately subjected to heavy rains more days than not. I usually have them hanging in the pop-up kitchen area. The second day, the purple one somehow got water inside and would sometimes flicker, but usually just not turn on at all. The blue and green ones were flickering, but eventually managed to stay on most of the time. However, then I moved them, and the blue one stopped working entirely, while the green one went back to flickering and then giving off dim light. The red one stayed inside the tent the whole time, so it is fine. Now that we are home again, the green one still works with another fresh set of batteries (which I had already replaced once while camping). The blue and purple continue to not turn on even with yet another fresh set of batteries, and there is a permanent condensation on the inside of the clear part of the purple lantern. This was the first time I used the purple one and I got one day of use out of it, so I was pretty unhappy. I would consider replacing the blue and purple ones and restrict them to inside the tent usage only, as I like the fact that I can hang them, place them on a table, or carry them with me, but of course, there isn't a 2-pack with just those colors. So it looks like I'm going to have to find another lighting solution for next year.
