The 'LANTERN' Multifunctional Flashlight Lantern is Ruggedly Useful

— June 9, 2016 — Tech
The 'LANTERN' multifunctional flashlight lantern is one of the more exceptional approaches to flashlight design out there that will help offer illumination in several different scenarios. Working as a traditional flashlight, a bike light, a 360-degree headlight and even a backup battery for smartphones, the 'LANTERN' flashlight provides rugged capabilities in a compact design.

The 'LANTERN' multifunctional flashlight lantern is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, which makes it water-repellent and capable of surviving more than just a simple drop or two. The military-grade specs enable it to keep going as long as you do without slowing down.

The 'LANTERN' flashlight is available now for preorder on Kickstarter and will provide hours of illumination or vital additional power for smartphones.
