" ... This looked like a good deal to me: four LED battery powered lanterns with batteries for twenty-five bucks. ... All the LEDs are on all the time, regardless of how many are exposed to view, so you won't be able to extend battery life by exposing only part of the LED array at a time. ... I see units just like this at Wally World or the corner drug store for $9.99 each - without batteries! ... "
