Works as expected for the price! 
2008-08-17
I couldn't find a better value, if I kept looking. They seem to average about 4-5 dolars a piece, including shipping. That is about the same price as the LED "whirly gigs" kids play with, but these offer good light during an emergency, as well as being someone entertaining for nighttime imaginary play.
Like other reviews, fragile, not for kid play if you want them to last for along time, but you get three at a time. I think they are better than equivalently priced flash lights.
For the price, you could buy two three packs easy, and light your whole house during an emergency and keep your kids calm and entertained.
I folded kleenex and placed it in the battery compartment to keep the batteries in place. No safety lock, so I would say supervised play for any child under 4. Light section unscrews relatively easy should you need to replace the battery and it looks like they use a standard flashlight battery.
Lastly, I really like them for the AA batteries that I buy in bulk.
Colorful and fun

Colorful plastic and they work. Kids will love them for camping in the backyard but I wouldn't buy them for emergency purposes. You DO get what you pay for so don't expect a lot and you will be pleased with your purchase.
Knobs break easily 
2008-06-06
Before we took them out of the box two of the threee knobs had broken off. We used the other one for a weekend when the power was out for 36 hours and then the next time we were going to use it when the power was out. The other knob broke off. Really not a good product at all.
Perfect emergency lighting 2008-05-22
We had 2 days with no power. I chose this item because it uses batteries. Rechargeable with my luck would need a recharge just when I need it the most and the price is right!
Great price-Nice lanterns 2008-05-02
I've been stocking up on emergency supplies in case we go through a power outage. A few years ago, our area lost power for over a week because of the hurricanes.
These lanterns are made of plastic, which is what makes them affordable- they are definetly NOT made to hold up to tough conditions, like camping trips, etc..
BUT, they are perfect for emergencies-ie, power outages.
They require 4 AA batteries, and light up pretty good.
I'm VERY pleased with this purchase.
Get what you pay for 2008-04-14
The lanterns were handy and provided good light. I bought these for my two children--4 and 7--the plastic is pretty cheap and they are all cracked now. Also, the handles on two of the 3 lanterns were broken off by someone pulling too hard on them. I suppose you get what you pay for; but treat these gently because they will crack or break.
Just As expected 2008-03-28
I was looking for something in the camping theme that my boys could use in their room and the other laterns that used batteries were just too expensive to use for play. I admit I was weary about the product because they were so inexpensive but when I received them they were just what I wanted. Excellent packaging,arrived in a no time. Now they have something they can read to at night or just play like they are camping.
Sort of okay 2008-01-04
Of the three lamps, one's nob broke off while I was taking it out of the box. The other two work fine as emergency lamps, which is why I bought them. Some super glue might save the third lamp - If not it's going to be spar parts...
Emergency Lanters 2007-10-21
I got these emergency lanters for myself for when the area has power outages. They have come in very handy and are cute enough to display with any theme. I like them so much I'm thinking of giving a set to friends and family as extra little Holiday presents. The batteries for the lanters are very affordable and easy to install.

Got the lanterns for my friend's new home. She loves them. They are light and portable and very safe. She keeps one in each of the kids rooms and one in her room. Easy to carry around and do generate lots of bright lighting.
