It’s powered by six D batteries (not included), allowing the lamp to stay lit on its highest brightness setting for at least 60 days before the batteries must be replaced-which is something we verified in our testing.

Like every other model we tested, the 60-Day Duro has three brightness settings and a cool tone-shedding light that’s bright enough to read by yet also feels cozy. The upper handle is also coated in textured rubber, making it easier to grasp. With a hard-plastic shell, it feels sturdy, and it has grippy strips of rubber on the sides, top, and base that keep it from toppling over or slipping out of your hands. There’s a handle on top-to hang the lantern from a carabiner, pick it up with ease, or hold it out in front of you like a creepy old innkeeper-as well as a loop on the bottom (for additional hanging options). It’s the brightest tabletop lantern we’ve tested by far, with an impressive 1,200-lumen rating.

Why it’s great: When it comes to portable outdoor lighting, the UST 60-Day Duro is the full package. It also has a handy valve to keep dust and water from leaking into the USB-A port, as well as a battery-status button, which lets you check how much charge it has left. And this lamp’s light-which can be set to low, medium, high, or flashing-creates an inviting, warm cast. The Luci’s USB-A port puts out up to 8 watts, according to our assessment. It has straps on both the top and the bottom-making it easy to carry, clip on a carabiner, hang inside a tent, or string on a clothesline by contrast, other models we tested had only a single hook or handle.

This means it’s completely protected against dust and can be safely submerged in water up to 3.3 feet. The Luci has an International Protection rating (a weatherproofing standard, also called the Ingress Protection rating) of IP67. And its built-in battery has a 4,000-mAh capacity, which is as high as that of any model we tested. It can be charged using its USB-A port or solar panel-both located on the top surface of the light. Why it’s great: At 300 lumens, the Luci Base Light is one of the brightest packable lights we tested.
