    Default Lantern Radio with oversize lead acid battery

    Hi all, I wanted a good lantern and radio with oversize battery that is forgiving to charge and here is what I came up with. The little job site radio has no trouble filling a large room with sound. It has AM in the event extra range is needed for news Ect. The radio was intended to be used with a 12 volt power tool battery pack but the tabs are marked + and - so hooking up an oversize 12 lead acid battery was simple. The 12 volt lead acid battery can be charged from just about anything and is low cost.

    The LED lamp is a driving flood light intended to be used on a car. It draws .7 amps and will go for hours on the battery.

    I have been using it to setup for making fire early dark AM. Works great!

    Do you have an image of what the light looks when it is being used to light a dark room?

    Looks very cool by the way.

    I will try and take one tonight. The beam is wide and easy to work under.

    Here are a few pictures of the lantern lighting up my shed and the whole back of house. Note - the first picture of the shed was in the evening light. The rest of the shed taken with just the lantern (no flash) Then one of the back of the house the motion detect LED came on but you can see the yellow color - most of the light is from the lantern.
