I have two of the AA models and two of the super seige models. I love them all. Excellent products

[@okiedokieexplorers]

I have upgraded one of my AA models with a magnet base, and it is awesome as well. Thanks for watching.

I have the 3D Seige lantern, A gift from my brother. Easily the best built lantern I own. Recharge able lanterns / battery banks look very useful. Nice videos.

[@okiedokieexplorers]

Thank you! They are awesome lanterns. We haven't found better yet!

Nice overview of the lineup. I don't really want lithium 18650 / lithium cylinder cell anything as they can be a volatile fire hazard that can't even be put out with water or by smothering. That rules out the big rechargeable and the little one. For anyone reading this I am well aware that these Lithium batteries are in my cell phone and laptop. The difference is the cell phone and laptop are expensive and have smarter battery monitoring. My phone once would not allow me to charge it as it was too hot for example. Simple applications like lanterns don't have the same level of software monitoring. I might go for 4 of the AA Siege Lantern and a 24 pack of rechargeable Eneloops that will be extra set of batteries for each lantern. That will be a lot of redundancy and still have money left over to get a ProTac 1L1AA in comparison to buying two of the larger rechargeable Siege! I figure I can run the 4 AA lanterns at the 100 lumen medium setting for total 400 lumens so that will be enough to give good room lighting for power outages and conserve battery life. I have a decent portable solar panel for phone/AA battery charging using a Fenix Are-D2 smart charger.

I am not familiar with the fenex charger. We have got a Lion charger and have been happy with it. You're right, the lithium fire risk is there, but the proof is in the pudding as these batteries have NEVER given me cause for concern. Alkaline batteries are consistently leaking and ruining things. Testimony for Streamlight also, they warranty replaced a AA when it was just a leaking battery damage when they didn't have to. Streamlight is an awesome brand and I highly recommend. Thanks for watching.

@@okiedokieexplorers Alkaline are terrible, I've lost some electronics to leaking batteries also. Streamlight is great. I have a ProTac 1L 1AA and I like it so much I want another one. I have about 15 AA pocket flashlights from years of collecting. That one and the Convoy T3 in stonewashed titanium are my 2 favorites for single AA pocket carry. Fenix E20 V2.0 is also amazing for a 2AA flashlight with the most compact size and efficient circuit I've seen for the 2AA category. Fenix is a great brand also making premium products. The reason I like that charger is that it's got voltage on the display and 3 selections for charging current as I usually charge Eneloops slower to match what Panasonic recommends and also it's micro USB so I can use it with my solar panel. I've been using Panasonic Eneloops after trying EBL brand and had some fail in a short time. Eneloops seem to be the best for AA and AAA. I do have my Lithium devices stored in a metal cabinet that is on metal legs off the floor so at least if they do spray fire it's enclosed to not set the house on fire! One thing I learned recently is that Lithium/ion and LiFePO4 18650 batteries vent a lot of unhealthy toxic gas if they catch fire or vent. So if that ever happens get out side as soon as you can for fresh air.

I have the 3D siege lantern and it is a pretty dang good lantern all things considered. I only wished it was rechargeable and maybe a bit higher lumen output. I have been testing a variety of lanterns over the past few years in a wall tent while hunting in the Rockies so I need something that will be on for many hours and ideally not need to be recharged too often. I have found that the D cell lanterns have done fairly well even in the extreme low temperatures and will usually outlast rechargeable lanterns by quite a bit. I was considering purchasing the super siege but I ultimately decided against it since it does not appear to have a particularly impressive run time. For example, streamlight lists the 3d cell siege as running for 30 hours at 540 LM but the super siege only listed as running 5.75 hrs at 1100 LM. Especially while hunting where I don’t necessarily have the luxury of baby sitting and recharging my lanterns, it’s much easier to eject the spent D cell batteries and throw some new ones in and keep going instead of deal with recharging to only get an additional 5.75 hours of output. Even if I ran the super siege on its mid setting, it is listed as 11.5 hour run time @ 550 LM. Meaning I am getting almost the exact same LM output from the siege on brightest setting as the mid power for the Super siege but the siege lasts almost 3 times longer than the super siege before replacing batteries/recharge. I like the rechargeable lanterns for some other situations where I only need 5-6 hours of light but for hunting, I think I am ruling the super siege out personally. Just my thoughts.

[@okiedokieexplorers]

Having both, the rechargeable is my go to for almost everything, and if you have the car charger you can just charge it when you're driving. Going on a road trip, find out it's low, just charge it during the next leg. Thanks for watching.

[@okiedokieexplorers]

I'm glad the 3D works for you, and in that application, it seems you made a good choice. Thanks for watching

[@Jakelol1980]

nice to see all the lights at once but its pretty annoying when the camera man is talking and interrupting.

[@okiedokieexplorers]

Off camera voice was also a valued member of the production team. We will try to incorporate their input more seamlessly in future videos.

[@Robert-ug5hx]

I have 12 of the Aa in the emergency supplies

[@okiedokieexplorers]

Should suit you no matter the emergency. We really like the entire spectrum. The little double A are very handy, and have increased it's handiness with one of the magnetic bases.
