World renowned flashlight manufacturer Streamlight is poised to bring a new LED lantern to market, the Streamlight Siege Lantern.  This compact camping lantern will produce 340 lumens in high with a 30 hour run time.  Let’s take a closer look:

Streamlight Siege Lantern

Output: 340 lumens high, 175 lumens medium, 33 lumens low
Run time: 30 hours high, 70 hours medium, 295 hours low
Battery type: 3 D-cell alkaline
Focus type: 360 degree area light
Output color: White or red
Dimensions:
Waterproof rating: IPX7 rated to 1 meter – will float in water
MSRP: $60.00

The Streamlight Siege Lantern will have both a white and a red LED, so you can use it for general illumination (white) or for illumination while preserving your night vision (red).  The 3 D-cell alkaline batteries will give you an long run time of up to 295 hours – great for an extended power outage.

One of the coolest features of the Siege lantern is that you can hang it either upright or inverted with the integrated D-rings on the top and bottom of the lantern.  You can remove the housing around the LED if you want a less diffused beam.  The on/off button also acts as battery status indicator, changing from green, to yellow, to red, to flashing red as the batteries get weaker.
