Sportsman Fluorescent Lantern, 8 D Batteries (Sold Separately), Black

I bought 2 at the same time as I am a fan of Rayovac products. It was awesome during hurricane season. The problem is one of the lanterns stopped working, the batteries were new so I changed the bulb that did not work it just refused to light. Frustrated I put it away and the next time I opened it up I realized I forgot to take the batteries out and battery acid leaked on the connections. I need to replace the bottom part that screws on can I order that from you? Next time I will immediately return instead of waiting.

I used this lantern one time for about 2 hours on a camping trip with new batteries. It worked great and was very bright. However, the second time I tried to use it, one bulb would barely come on at the medium setting, and neither light would come on at the high setting. I tried new batteries, and both bulbs work. This will be very expensive to operate if the 8 D batteries it requires only last a couple of hours each time.

I used this during the hurricane and it worked great. the problem i have is one light is out and i can't find a replacement. does anyone know if the 9W lantern bulb rayovac sells will fit in their old lanterns? the bulb i'm looking for has a different number- FLS/E 9W 5200K. thanks

will not buy another, this was purchased to have when the power went out, and camping

Use this in power outages and it is great. The three adjustable settings, brightness and portability are wonderful. Bought two more for the house loved the first one so much
