I bought one of these about ten years ago at Walmart because they were on sale for $8 and it seemed like a good thing to have. I hadn't turned it on for a few years and last night I got it out and it worked perfect. Uses 4 D batteries instead of one of those large square lantern batteries. It's nice because you don't always want a flashlight in your hands. Just set it on the counter and then you have your hands free to use the telephone, a radio, whatever and it illuminates the whole room. I see them in the camping department all the time, I think I'll pick up another, Walmart website lists them now for $12.35.
