It ran on 3 x 1.2v rechargeable, but, it was noticeably dimmer, and it did not last as long as with 3 x alkaline. I tested this lamp with 3 old alkaline cells and could see that it was a bit dimmer too. **Q: Is this model water proof...??** A: This lantern is considered water resistant. It should be fine if you get caught in the rain, but don't submerge it fully. **Q: How big is this lantern?** A: I think this is the bigger one I have. Not very big is all I can say=maybe 6" high ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars good buy *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023* very handy indeed ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Another positive experience with the Core LED lantern *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016* I just got to use this lantern (camping) this past weekend, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. There is debate here as to whether this lantern is really 500 lumens. Or people worrying if its run-time is actually what is rated. I propose a different line of thinking1) Does it really matter if this lantern is 500 lumens? I looked at a few other lanterns on Amazon, and read reviews, and some of these don't even attempt to make any claims as to the brightness of their lanterns at all. Does this inspire confidence in those other products? Not to me. Are there brighter lanterns out there? I suspect so (albeit also possibly at a much higher cost). But this one sure was bright enough for what I needed...I'm sure not worrying about it.2) The manufacture rates this lantern at 19/65 hours on High/Low. I sure haven't tested it, but I wouldn't really care if it didn't quite achieve these values. It will obviously run a very long time in any case, and three D cells are cheap and easy to have a backup set of alkalines, which have a shelf life of a decade or so.3) I appreciate that the manufacturer chose to use Cree LEDs, as I'm confident that these are not junk LEDs. In fact, the entire lantern, imo, reflects the manufacturer choosing to put out a quality product. The lantern feels and looks solid. This also increases my confidence in the product.4) It simply worked. Every time I clicked the button on/off or high/low. It gave a good amount of light. It is small and simple to pack, and with alkalines, should last for many camping trips. It was sooo much easier and convenient to use than my old fuel-based lantern(s), and so superior to older generation battery-powered bulb-based lanterns.5) All of the above...for under $20. How can you beat that? In fact, I'm so happy and confident in this product, that I've already bought some additional ones for emergency backup lighting at our business, should the power go out. Thanks Core Equipment for putting out a solid product for not that much money...very satisfied with this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Very bright light - lantern lasted us 4 years *by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2016* I am liking this light a lot. We got it for hurricane season to replace a Rayovac Sportsman lantern that no longer worked. Today, I loaded the three D batteries in my new lantern and LOVE how easy it was to close up the bottom. I continue to struggle getting the bottom screw-on piece with the three remaining Rayovacs we own - you have to line up the bottom piece just right; so frustrating. This new Cree lantern is very very bright (almost hurt-your-eyes bright) and has two settings - press once for a high light, press a second time for a lower light and then press a third time to turn it off. I just put another one in my cart and am thinking of giving the 4 D battery version a try as well. I'll be buying a few more to give as gifts for family.6/19/20 Revised review only because the lantern now will not work even with batteries replaced with new ones. The terminals all look clean and have been wiped off anyway. So, this lantern lasted almost 4 years for us which is longer than other brands have lasted. After 4 years of using it, we liked that light was very bright and the bottom was easy to screw back on after changing the batteries, largely because of the post on the cap that's inserted into the lantern bottom. Made changing batteries very easy. Didn't like that the light was hurt your eyes right because the glass is not frosted. The lantern was, for us, best used sitting atop a tall bookcase to get the light out of our eyes and, instead, cast down into the entire room. So, all in all, this was a nice, very bright light. Would we buy another one? Maybe, but there are many other lanterns out there to try out at lower cost. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/19785277-core-500-lumen-cree-led-battery-lantern-two-modes-water](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/19785277-core-500-lumen-cree-led-battery-lantern-two-modes-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
