Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rayovac SE3DLN Sportsman Xtreme 300-Lumen LED LanternCustomer Review: Go to the light... Summary: 5 Stars
It's easy with this little lantern. As a life-long fearer of the dark, I've purchased hundreds of flashlights, lanterns and other battery-powered lighting equipment over the years, including the kind that you wind up (worthless, by the way, unless you have arms like Dempsey or want them). The Rayovac SE3DLN Sportsman Extreme 300-Lumen 3D-Battery LED Lantern (or Bubba to its friends), gives off a lot of light. On the high setting, the light is harsh, but it will keep the bogeyman away. On low, if you cozy up next to it, there is sufficient illumination to read by (but not enough to keep closet monsters at bay).
I do not go camping since it is my theory that bears sleep in the woods, so can't report on the Rayovac Sportsman (Bubba) as an outdoor accessory. However, here in Southern California where the earth moves under our feet and the sky comes rumblin' down comes tumblin...oops, sorry, flashback...the lights go out frequently and since I possibly believe in ghosts, zombies, trolls, closet monsters and chupacabra (don't ask, it's a Southern California speciality), an arsenal of emergency lights is essential.
Lanterns like Bubba (and the ones that have 3 illumination bars in front of a reflective mirror or metal plate) are the best in terms of room illumination. When placed in front of a mirror, they provide almost twice as much light. Directional flashlights, even those big spotlight types, focus only on one area and are good for finding one's way to the bathroom but are not suitable for room lighting or reading.
The aftermath of disaster means standing around aimlessly for hours at a time,wishing you'd been better prepared. The 1994 Northridge earthquake was my first and, I hope, last. I was well prepared in some ways, badly prepared in others. Because I had a flashlight at hand, I was able to cling to a mattress that began bucking like Ol' Tarnation and watch the contents of my home smash themselve to pieces. The building, however, was not damaged, although the quake blew out the electricity, gas and water for over a week and condo-neighbors I'd never spoken to began bunking down in my dining room. People were afraid to be on their own. We pooled our food, water and other resources, shopped, ate and slept together. A busload of Bedouin tourists came by to take our pictures. Anyway, here is what I learned.
*Have an emergency fund available. No electricity, no credit cards or ATMs mean a cash economy.
*You cannot have too many flashlights, too many batteries, or too much water.
*Keep a bag with extra eyeglasses, car keys, medications & other essentials where you can grab it and run.
*Get a good first aid kit -- and read the manual.
*A cheap, pocket-sized portable radio can be a lifeline!
*Keep a pair of sturday shoes under the bed, and a sweater or jacket in grabbing distance. Parents need an emergency bag with kids clothes, some juice, maybe a toy. Babies need their baby stuff, obviously.
*Don't forget the critters. Keep a pet carrier and a dog leash, with the rest of the getaway equipment.
*AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE, DO NOT USE CANDLES INDOORS.
*In addition to its many uses as a temporary fix for broken windows, or chairs/table legs, etc., Duct Tape is a first class way to pick up broken glass from the floor or carpet when the power is out and you can't vacuum. Keep two or three rolls on hand.
*The person with the brandy bottle is the person in charge.
*If you must shop, go in a team. Work from lists. A single shopper doesn't have a chance to get everything needed before the store runs out.
*If you find yourself alone in the dark, crouching over a can of cold spaghetti-os while being menaced by a glowing pair of what may be chupacabra eyes, do the smart thing. Max out your credit card and get on the next flight outta town. Leave the spaghetti-os for the thing in the closet.
