The Gold Standard for 3 D-cell LED Lanterns
The Streamlight Siege LED Lantern came to market in Summer 2013, and clearly was designed to compete with Rayovac’s popular Sportsman LED Lantern (over 1,500 reviews on Amazon, ~$27, Rayovac Sportsman LED Lantern (SE3DLN). I researched the Rayovac and other options extensively before choosing the Streamlight, and I’m exceptionally happy with my decision. The Rayovac has been on the market longer, and has impressive reviews, but in this review, I’ll outline why I think the Streamlight is superior to the Rayovac, and sets the new standard in the 3 D-cell LED lantern category.Both lanterns are LED lights, powered by widely-available 3 D-cell non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. Both manufacturers stand by their product with a limited lifetime warranty. And they are identical in weight, 14.4 oz (408 g) without batteries. Both products are water-resistant. Lastly, both can be suspended from hooks on the top or bottom of the lantern, or carried by a handle.However, there are significant advantages to the Streamlight Siege. First, the Streamlight produces 340 lumens, with state of the art LEDs, compared with 240 lumens for the Rayovac. Second, the Streamlight floats in water, in case you drop it off your boat, etc. Third, the Streamlight also has a red LED, for use at night, if you don’t want to lose your night vision. The Rayovac doesn’t have a red LED. Fourth, the Streamlight has more settings: high (340 lumens/30h), medium (175 lumens/70h), low (33 lumens/295h/12 day), the above mentioned red (10 lumens/235h), and a SOS mode, where the red light flashes S.O.S. in morse code, for an incredible 430h. In contrast, the Rayovac offers 3 modes: high (240 lumens/40h), low, or a strobe light. Personally, I don’t care much for strobe modes in any light, and find the much prefer the longer lasting, more visible red SOS mode of the Streamlight lantern. Fifth, the battery compartment of the Rayovac can be difficult to open and close (see reviews on the Rayovac, on Amazon or YouTube). This isn’t a problem with the Streamlight, which had an easy to open battery compartment, and can only be closed one way, due to some clever “keyed” construction. Sixth, and lastly, the Rayovac Sportsman has an LED indicator light that blinks every 5 seconds when the lantern is off. LEDs are exceptionally energy efficient, so that won’t meaningfully drain the batteries, but I would find a constantly flashing LED annoying. The Streamlight doesn’t have such a flashing LED. However, the power/mode change switch does have a nice feature: it doubles as a battery power indicator. When the light is on, and the batteries are powerful, the button is green. When they die down, it turns red, and then flashes red when they are power-critical. This is a really wonderful, innovative feature.In conclusion, I highly recommend Streamlight’s the Siege lantern. It’s a powerful, small, well-built lantern strong enough to take some abuse and provide you years of quality light. I really appreciate the versatility enabled by 5 light modes (high, medium, low, red, SOS), and the clips to hang the lantern in either an upright or inverted fashion. The red/night vision light is something I haven’t seen on another, similar LED lantern, and is a welcome addition. Finally, especially with such a long battery lifespan, I appreciate the battery indicator light telling me when it’ll be time for replacement batteries. This is clearly an exceptionally well-conceived product. I think it’s more than worth the extra $10 over the Rayovac (which was the previous best-in-category, before The Siege was released).Finally, I want to note that I’m not in any way related, affiliated, or compensated by Streamlight for this review. Lastly, Amazon sells D-cell batteries for about $1 each: Rayovac ALD-12 UltraPRO Alkaline D Batteries, 12-Pack.

Probably the best design among battery powered lanterns anywhere.
When designing a product, you begin with its essential function. In the case of The Siege, Streamlight, that’s to make a battery powered lamp in a lantern format. You then decide what will make your product special. In this case, it’s the brightness achieved with four LEDs lit by three D batteries, which makes old incandescent lanterns seem like a pale glow rather than a light source. Of course, you need a handle. Check! And you should probably give it several “speeds,” levels of brightness. Check!Make it attractive, and you’ve got a product you can sell. That’s where most lights end. And that’s where this one is just getting going! The designers of this lantern realized they could do so much more. They made it waterproof. Not “water resistant,” but waterPROOF. This baby will float down the river with you. Upright, even. How about an extremely low setting that allows a usable light that will last you all night and then some? This one has a red light setting that has extended duration, plus it doesn’t fatigue your eyes for going out and seeing in the starlight or moonlight. It has an emergency flasher, and the button lights up when the lantern is on so that you can easily find where to turn it off or change settings. Nice touches, all.But what about batteries off-gassing in their compartment inside a waterproof housing, or merely changes of altitude? They thought of that, too, and added a pressure valve that releases any gasses that may build up, while keeping the water on the outside.Now… how do you use a lantern? You can set it on a surface, such as your table with your map on it, and read. What if your table is not level, or what if it’s in a boat that’s pitching with the waves? This baby won’t slide! It stays put. Very well engineered materials. Ok, you can also hang up your lantern. Most lanterns have a bail-type handle for that. Check! But again, these guys didn’t stop there. This bail folds out of the way effortlessly, yet equally easily raises into position with one hand or one finger. It has an unusual shape with a protrusion that allows it to hang easily from small tree limbs, pipes, edges of hoods, cabinets, clotheslines, or whatever. Once again, they didn’t stop there. It also has a carabiner on top and bottom, each of which folds out of the way. Attach it quickly to any line, and it will not come off until you remove it.Well, then, if you can hang it upside down, what about the shadow thrown by the top of the lantern, which is opaque? If you’d like for this lantern to act like a bare light bulb, merely twist and pull off the whole top portion, leaving only the battery housing and bulbs. (LEDs, in this case) It casts light everywhere without shadows. Hang it from a tent pole, cord, rope, limb, or whatever you want to hang it from. While you have the top off, you can use it for a water cup.But let’s say you prefer leaving the top on. What about that shadow? What about that big round top of the lantern uselessly soaking up all those light rays that come its way? Don’t worry. They thought of that, too. Within the top, there is an inverted parabolic cone with a reflective surface. ALL your light is cast outward, evenly, in almost every direction. There is very little shadowing, anywhere.There is probably much more to know about this lantern, such as the height from which it can fall and hit concrete without even interrupting its operation, or the duration of continuous output at various power settings, or the guide that helps you get the lid on the battery compartment aligned with the body without having to twist and test, twist and test, but I’ll leave any remaining facts for you to discover in the manual. You won’t be disappointed. Like I said, where most lights’ designers quit and go home, these guys were just getting warmed up. This is an incredibly good product. Buy with confidence.

No acostumbro a subir reseñas de lo que compro pero esta vez no pude resistir realizar una reseña y reafirmar que esta lampara es simplemente grandiosa en todos los aspectos. Comenzare diciendo que esta lampara originalmente la compre para mi hija, ella esta en un grupo de Boy Scouts y por eso compre esta lampara para que la usara cuando realizan campamentos de una o mas noches. Así que me di a la tarea de realizar primero una pequeña investigación de las mejores lamparas que existen actualmente para este tipo de actividades al aire libre, es decir, campamentos o excursiones y después de investigar y ver varios videos de revisiones de las mejores lamparas para acampar llegue a la conclusion que esta lampara THE SIEGE de 510 lúmenes modelo 44931 de la marca STREAMLIGHT sino es la mejor, es una de las mejores pero para mi en lo personal es la mejor, les dire porque. Porque esta lampara ilumina bastante muy bien, su iluminación difuminada, es decir, a través de su pantalla para que no lastime los ojos, es muy buena, especial para lo que se requiere en un campamento. Es pequeña como se puede ver en las fotos, es muy resistente a las caídas ya que cuenta y esta hecha con materiales que amortigua los golpes. cuenta con tres asas especiales para que puedas usar la lampara colgada, ya se en posición normal como si estuviera sobre el suelo o de cabeza. Otra bondad, si es así lo quieres, se le puede retirar la pantalla difuminadora para usar la luz de lampara al 100% aunque al estar así sin su pantalla corre el riesgo de lastimar los ojos si se ve directamente a la lampara ya que son leds muy poderosos. Otra de las características que me encanto de esta lampara es totalmente hermética, tanto que hasta la puedes meter al agua completamente, técnicamente la puedes arrojar al agua funcionando y esta flotara y seguirá funcionando dentro del agua. Si resiste y funciona sumergida en el agua de un arroyo, lago, rio, estanque, laguna, etc. ya ni se diga que funciona perfectamente bajo la lluvia sin ningún problema. Otra de las características que me gusto mucho es que no solo cuenta con luz blanca la cual la puedes usar en tres niveles de intensidad, es decir, alta, baja y media, la cual incluso usando la lampara en nivel alto todo el tiempo y continuamente la duración de las baterías aguanta mas de un día completo, mas de 24 horas en nivel alto, para ser exacto te da 30 horas de iluminación en nivel alto, obviamente con las baterías cargadas al 100%. En nivel medio te da una duración de 70 horas continuas y en nivel bajo aguanta hasta 295 horas continuas con las baterías bien cargadas o nuevas. Pero también tiene una luz color rojo la cual te da una duración en uso continuo con las baterías al 100% de hasta 235 horas. Como les había comentado al inicio la compre para mi hija que esta en un grupo de Boy Scouts y que mejor forma de garantizar el uso de la clásica clave de S.O.S auxilio con señal luminosa para poder usada en la noche, esta lampara incorpora lista para usarse esta clave de S.O.S con la luz color rojo con tan solo oprimir un botón. Esta mas que excelente ni mandado hacer para lo que lo requiero, por eso como dije al inicio para mi, en lo particular es la mejor lampara para acampar, es pequeña y poderosa. Les dare un consejo, a pesar de que la duración de las baterías es muchas horas, esta lampara usa tres baterías tamaño D, como todos saben estas baterías son muy costosas, así que lo que yo hice para no estar comprando baterías muy seguido lo cual seria un costo considerable, opte por comprar un cargador universal y las respectivas baterías tamaño D recargables, así de esta manera me olvido de comprar baterías por muchísimo tiempo. Aquí mismo compre el cargador universal, este cargador es de los que recargan las baterías desde el tamaño pequeño triple A hasta las mas grandes que son las tamaño D y hasta las cuadradas de 9 volts. Esta lampara usa tres baterías tamaño D así que compre 6 baterías tamaño D recargables para así tener repuesto cuando se acaben las baterías y cambiarlas por las que están cargadas, pero para que te acabes un juego de baterías, tendrías que usar muchas horas continuas la lampara, no te las acabas en una sola noche. Para mi fue la mejor inversion que realice en la compra de esta lampara. Como comentario extra, cuando recibí la lampara en mi hogar, vino dentro de la clásica caja de amazon pero la lampara no traía caja propia de la marca, solo venia dentro de una bolsa común y corriente y con su etiqueta y manual, solo protegida con las bolsitas de aire unidas, al principio me dio mala espina, pensé que no era nuevo pero al revisarla vi que si estaba completamente nuevo la lampara y funciona perfectamente bien. No se si a alguien mas le llego así como a mi sin una caja de fabrica, solo dentro de una bolsa. En fin, otro comentario, esta lampara es el modelo de 540 lúmenes de tres baterías tamaño D, hay otro modelo que es aun mas pequeño y usa baterías triple A y por lo mismo es de menor lúmenes y hay otro modelo con batería recargable con 1100 lunes, es decir el doble esta que compre pero el precio es excesivamente muy elevado, cuesta mas de 3000$, en algunas partes las he visto hasta en mas de 5000$…demasiado caro comparado con los 660$ que pague por esta belleza de lampara. Espero y ayude mi reseña a futuros compradores interesados en esta lampara. Saludos!!!

It is nice having the auction for different colored LEDs. the blue auction for nighttime use when lots of light is not required and It is nice to have the white LED.Very nice that it takes common AA batteries that are easy to get a hold of.

This is a quality camping light that has 3 white light settings and red light settings for longer battery life. I found the operation and battery change very simple with one feature that really sets it apart. When turned on in white light mode it starts at the lowest setting rather than at the blinding max setting.

I didn’t think I’d ever be buying this kind of a lantern, but I gave it a try and for me, it was well worth the money. The design is very well thought out and with the 3 brightness levels, red light, red flasher and USB charger, this is a keeper! I’m getting to be a big fan of Streamlight.
