I haven't had the problems the other reviewers have (probably will now!). So far so good. I love it - always take it with me traveling and camping, so nice to have a light I can turn on from a distance. I put it outside on the picnic table at the campsite in case I need to have light there when I'm returning from the bathhouse or hear something outside during the night. I also use it as a nightlight I can click on from a distance in hotel rooms or other lodgings - it's one of my packing basics these days.
Initial lantern returned because remote quit working shortly after receipt - Replacement lantern has the same problem. The LED light/construction/quality/appearance otherwise OK. Overall this light is a disappointment mainly because it doesn't measure up to the LLBean name.
We bought this a couple of years ago to use in our tent, and we do like the hook in the handle, as we hang it over our sleeping bags, and it does make a great little "nightlight" of sorts, climbing in for the night, etc, but you couldn't read by it that' s for sure. And the remote quit working after just a few weeks. Still like the light, but wish the remote was still working!!!
