I tossed the UCO Clarus LED Lantern into my jacket pocket in October and have been happily impressed with its strong beam and collapsible lantern. Both proved invaluable on a late fall camping trip. Powered by three AAA batteries, the Clarus LED Lantern is slightly large for a pocket flashlight, but the slight increase in size is offset by the convenient lantern, which allows you to have hands-free light. You can adjust light levels from bright to dim. There is also an emergency strobe setting. After a month of regular use, I’m still on the original set of batteries. This flashlight is a good value at the MSRP of $19.99.—Shawn Perich
