Great Product Awesome Service

Had an issue with the lighting modes not switching.  Reached out to them and got a response very quickly to address the issue.  The aa battery I used was a 1.5v Duracell which apparently allows one brightness on the LA10, from my experience.  However, a regular battery from Amazon works great.  Regardless of this issue, the light is amazing for what it is and regular aa batteries are everywhere.

Simple and effective

This light is well made and would be difficult to damage.  When retracted the diffuser is well  protected.  Having no switch this light is simple to operate and gives good run time on a single AA battery. All this at a low price makes this not only great in the outdoors but good to have several around the home for emergencies.

Really cool economy light

Nitecore makes some really cool useful lights and this one is no exception. It feels like it's built like a tank, I can't believe how inexpensive it was. I've used it several times and I think the only complaint I could give it is that the brightness is not adjustable. It's so innovative and fun to play with though. It covers a very wide range with usable light and the center "beam" illuminated slightly brighter. I really like this light and in the future would like to see something similar that's rechargable and adjustable, but for the price point this one is perfect

great little lantern

It arrived on time and in very good shape.  It emits just enough light to illuminate the immediate area and is easy to use.  Very nice.  I would buy again if needed.

Nice!...

This is one of the smallest lanterns I've seen on the market...should fit easily into anyone's EDC bag.

These are the best

I use these lanterns more than any other light. Perfect for getting up at night and not waking the wife. These are really great!

Great Light

I use this at work on locomotives and as everything is pretty much metal the magnet helps a ton for light placement in tight spots and the AA batteries are replaceable.

Great little compact lantern!

Decent burn time especially on low. Brightness is easily adjusted from a somewhat focused area to wide-area light. The only thing I wish was included would be a non-magnetic base cap so it would not potentially affect a compass if kept close by. But overall, it’s a very rugged, simple and bright compact lantern with no fire or CO potential in a tent, hammock, or vehicle. Great little light!

Useful flashlight

Although a majority of my flashlights are of the 18650 type, I wanted one where I could change the battery (AA) in the event I didn't have a spare "charged" battery, should the need arise. I have purchased separate cone tips for my other flashlights, as I use them when walking at night so that I'm visible to cars. I really like the fact that this flashlight has it built-in!

It's bright, highly functional, with just 3 flaws.

This is a great light, with just 3 design flaws: 1) It should be scaled up to 18650 size. 2) It should have an on-off switch 3) It should turn on at the last setting used. It's bright, highly functional, and the lipstick function works very well for area lighting

A BRIGHT IDEA...

Nitecore LA10 compact lantern, 135 lumens of bright light with low, medium and high settings along with strobe mode. Retractable diffuser for portability/protection. 1) AA battery all that is required. LA10 lantern is pocket-sized similar to the size of a shotgun shell or woman's lipstick holder. Bottom end is magnetized for situations when you need hands free operation, also an optional lanyard. LA10 has reverse polarity protection, meaning, if you put the battery in the wrong direction, it won't mess anything up and protects internal circuits giving you added assurance the LA10 will work when you need it most. WARNING:  This is NOT your lower quality neighborhood dollar bargain store type light. This is solid quality. You may want one for your pocket, your camping or bugout gear and each vehicle. One for your spouse, your buddy, and your buddy's buddy.  You will think these would make great gifts, and yes, you may buy more than one.
