Let there be light -- 30 days of light!

At the National Hardware Show, eGear launched the newest edition to their line of LED Lighting products: the 30-Day Lantern. The lantern, as the name plainly implies, will run for thirty days using three standard “D” size alkaline batteries when set on “low”. The folks at Revere said no one has ever produced a lantern could run for 30 days. The lantern is water-resistant lantern and protected from shocks with rubber padding. The 30-Day Lantern has four settings (high, medium, low and SOS Flashing). Even set on “high” the batteries will last 32 hours, 3.5 days on “medium” and 15 days when in the SOS flashing mode. The lantern houses an unbreakable, 300 lumen LED. The lantern can be easily converted to a down light by simply unscrewing the globe, turning the unit upside-down and hanging by a built-in hook. This is great energy-efficient LED light for an outdoor adventure, or a home power outage. You should be able to get through your camping trip without worrying about carrying, or looking for a set of spare batteries. It runs on 3 D cells, which are not included. The 30-Day Lantern will be available for delivery June 2012. MSRP is $59.99. 

It’s not on the eGear website yet, but it should be up there soon on this page:
