Waste of time and money October 9, 2008
This is useless. Even on batteries it is just as dim as on wind-up. I wish I had read these reviews before I bought it.

Bought this 2 weeks ago as it looked decent enough but unfortunately did'nt read the reviews. Got to the campsite, wound it up and it stayed bright for all of 60 seconds and then dims right down to a nightlight glow, if that. Whatever you do dont buy this its a complete waste of money im surprised its allowed to be sold. So much for trying to help save the planet next time its batteries or gas.

Not surprised to see the other reviews here. You have to wind it up for ages and it shines brightly for a minute or two then a very dim glow for a while. Took it on a camping trip it total darkness and it was of some use to about 3 foot but had to wind every 20 mins or so and on the sixth wind something went in the handle and it's now broken. Avoid. Not even worth the 8 I paid from Morrisons.
Flimsy August 17, 2008

I bought this as a present for my brother/his girlfriend who were off camping. It had been out of its packaging for 5 minutes before the handle snapped while winding it up. I can't comment on the brightness because we never got that far with it, but the reviews below don't fill me with confidence that it would have been satisfactory if we had.
There are good wind-up lanterns out there and they don't cost the earth, but this is not one of them. I would not recommend this product.
Do not buy these lanterns August 6, 2008

I totally agree with Eyes Open - these lanterns are very poor. Yes, the light is bright if switched on when winding them up but dims almost instantly. I took two camping and was constantly winding them up but the light they generated was really only enough to see the lantern - not anything else! Even when used in a tent they were not good enough to see anything at all clearly. You would be better off buying rechargeable batteries if you want to be environmentally friendly - just don't buy these lanterns.
