When it comes to outdoor activities at night, lanterns are consistently top the light of choices for lighting. Unlike flashlights, lanterns

NITECORE recently introduced a lantern, the LR10, that meets the above characteristics (bright, portable, durable) while bringing several convenient features.

Dimensions

The primary features for the LR10 are compact and lightweight. Here is a look at the revelant parameters. Total height: 65mm.

Total width: 50mm

Total thickness: 25mm

Total weight: 59.4g

Not difficult to see from the size of the above, LR10 has a very small & lightweight features. For a better judge of the LR10, here is a comparison with some other camping lanterns. The figure below compares it with one of my camp lights. As a reference contrast, in appearance there are obvious differences, and the thickness of the difference in the photos reflected is not obvious, but enough to prove that LR10 is really much smaller. As such, the LR10 has great portability advantages for traditional camp lights when carried out.

Details

One of the reasons the LR10 is lightweight is its body made of light-weight PC material, and its lampshade part is made of high-gloss PC light-diffusing material. The material itself has to make even the light transmission of soft light performance. This can bring diffuse effect, in order to achieve large floodlighting. In addition, the PC as a durable engineering plastics, but also brought 1.5m drop protection.

The switch uses a key operation of the design, soft glue embedded in the PC, at night by the tactile sense of direct recognition between the operation.

The left is its USB direct charge interface settings. The interface is equipped with a soft rubber cover, while the soft rubber cover closed will bring excellent waterproof and dustproof performance.

For its light source comes from the built-in 9 high color LED lamp beads. The division at the bottom (3), the circle (6). Internal FPC thermal conduction system, which can effectively achieve a large area of heat, which is also my use of conventional LED lights did not use a longer time on the phenomenon of fever.

Charging & Operating Instructions

LR10 charging process with red - green indicator light settings, intuitive response to electricity, reducing the situation is not full or over charge, but also in the process of charging the continuous use of lighting functions brought The convenience of night lighting needs.

LR10 is also used in a variety of, mainly from the tail of the magnetic design and buckle buckle sake. In actual use, for this function, as long as the provision of a fulcrum can bring different illumination angles to meet.

As camp lights, hanging buckles in the use of the tent is the most convenient. The figure below is a 8-lumen lighting effect, which has a certain brightness. Of course, the actual use of gear to do according to the needs of the switch.

The tail hanging buckle can also be freely hanging on the backpack, easy to carry out, the process did not loose the phenomenon.

Multiple Choices

In addition, the outdoor sometimes rainy and changeable, this time its level of protection IP66 rating can face the rain, streams and other scenes impact, and this also changes in the outdoor scene for us to reduce a concern. The degree of protection for the IP66 is, in my opinion, a result of its more concise form factor, resulting in a seamless bond.
