Strengths:
Light enough to hang in a tent
Weaknesses:
None I can think of
This lantern/torch has some useful features that most others don’t have. It's light enough to be hung inside a tent, and has a clip that allows the torch/lantern to be fastened to clothes which is ideal for night time activities. In stretch mode the clear frosting of the lantern allows an even light all over the tent. The lanyard is long enough for the torch/lantern to be hung from tree branches so finding the tent at night after a call of nature is a doddle. Although it's a robust item and will last years, the silly low price will not make you cry should it get lost or broken.
Tested on Dartmoor and Exmoor, and still working after five years.
