Thank you for viewing! This is a compact lantern (flashlight) that seems useful for outdoor activities and emergencies. The size is approximately 6.8cm wide x 9.5cm high, and extends to 14cm high when lit. It's easy to carry around and fits well on tables or shelves. It requires three AAA batteries to operate, but there's no switch. You simply insert the batteries and pull up the top, and it automatically lights up... and it's surprisingly bright! It provides enough light to read a book even in the dark. 【Great for Outdoors and Emergencies!】 Also, the stainless steel on the side can be lifted to become a handle, making it convenient for carrying or hanging outdoors. It seems like it would be great as a flashlight when walking, and as a room light or emergency light when placed down. I think it's reassuring to have one in every household for emergencies. Thank you very much. Type... LED Light
