Review of Silver Grey Waterproof CREEQ5 Led Camping Lantern Flashlight Torch

Customer Ratings:

Pretty compact, a little heavy as this thing is metal and not plastic like a lot of them. Good amount of light, really good actually for a AA unit. Put in a 14500 and you start getting closer 180 lumens, certainly 100 + lumens It has a focus mode for the flashlight. If you focus in on a tight beam, it will light up a person from 100 yards. When you focus out, the beam just becomes somewhat irregularly shaped as the beam gets wider. Doubt run time is as long as some. (Lot of light 1 AA battery) Not perfect but for 9 bucks..........

The lantern portion is pretty good and bright. Better than a lot of them. You don`t get too much "spillage" of light (through the flashlight portion) in the lantern mode but some. It will light up a dark room pretty well. Would definitely light up a tent no problem. The "low" mode is pretty bright the "high" mode is darn bright even just without a 14500 battery. Really all you need for most purposes is a regular AA battery. Switch is glow in the dark, a nice little touch. If weight is a problem if backpacking, you can get lighter models but this thing feels pretty solid and will most likely last.

Compared to the Stansport Rubber L.E.D. Flash and Stretch Light (about 8 bucks) which I also reviewed this thing is much better in just about every aspect (except much heavier)

Compared to the Eureka! Glide 51 Lantern/Flashlight (about 23 bucks) and I also reviewed, not too much comparison. The Eureka! Glide 51 Lantern/Flashlight is superior in pretty much most aspects (lighter, brighter, better flashlight and area light tighter tolerances on construction and almost no light "spillage")The advantage could go to the 9 buck unit in one respect, it can use the 14500 and is then brighter than the Eureka 51 by a noticeable difference.

If I had to take one of them into the woods or just use in either mode, flashlight or area light, overall it would be the Eureka, if weight and/ or cost was the issue I would chose this one.

Overall a great unit, wouldn`t pay 20 + bucks for it, but then again you don`t have to

I have done a lot of camping and boating and was looking for a camping-style light for use in the boat cabin without drawing on the boat batteries. I also collect and review tactical higher-end LED flashlights and this handy-looking little light came up in one of my searches. I was skeptical as to its quality because of the low price, but decided to try one anyway.

ProsHandy size, easy to pack or carry. Uses one AA battery which are readily available. I use Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries in all my lights that take their AA and AAA sizes. Has an adjustable focus and a glow in the dark switch in the tail cap. Able to "tail stand" on a table for use as a candle, especially important with its slide-up lantern feature. Works in both flashlight and lantern mode.

Cons Needs a dimmer setting for lantern mode for close quarters. This would extend battery life when a brighter light is not needed, such as setting it on a table in front of you while you read or just chat. Also, on its first use, a rubber o-ring broke and fell out in pieces. This o-ring provides a little bit of tension around the glass lantern mantle, so it doesn't slide shut without pressing on the top. Now that the o-ring is broken, with no way to take it apart and replace it, it falls open by itself and starts to slide shut instead of staying open.

Conclusion I probably will not order a replacement and at this price won't bother fussing with a return. Nice idea, and with a little better build quality could make a handy little flashlight/lantern combo.

Honest reviews on Silver Grey Waterproof CREEQ5 Led Camping Lantern Flashlight Torch

This little flashlight was everything I was looking for; it took 1 AA battery, it was 180 lumen, it was waterproof, it expanded for use as a lantern, it was not plastic.

However another user has documented the issue with floating and cracked disk. Because it moves, it ends up scratching the lens of the lantern. The gasket also rolled out when extending the lantern (I doubt it is still waterproof).

It burned brightly (and got very warm) for a short period of time but dimmed quickly. I tried it with two different rechargeable batteries with the same result. I am glad I had other flashlights on hand during a recent power outage. This one burned through batteries too fast to be able to rely on it.

It could have been perfect.
