I have the exact same combo but retired it for something much better/brighter with more features?

  It's LED which is a plus. Will run on rechargeable batteries but runs best on some good copper top Duracell's.

  The lantern is way brighter but not 360, more like 90 degrees. Has 5 light modes. One is a emergency SOS strobe visible for up to 2 miles.

Another is the emergency strobe for self-defense.
Whether man or BEAR, it is extremely disorientating. Don't try looking at it unless you want to learn first-hand how it works. 

  I have a older version minus the magnetic base and the separate lantern button.

You won't believe how bright it is!

I also have one of these. If you want to go "green" and want something that gives a nice area light and floats as well, this might be for you. It's very light as well. Charges by USB too. My older model doesn't.

Mine is a older model with a smaller solar panel.
They also have ones that will power/recharge small electronic devices.

I have one of those Eveready lights in my truck - always works .

I just ordered 3 Minimag 2AA lights - with the "old fashioned" Xenon bulb ( I have many extra bulbs) - I lose these things, or they get corroded from leaking batteries and I have to throw them out.  The ultimate application of the KISS principal - I looked in 3 or 4 stores for them and nobody carries the minimag anymore, they want to sell fancier, more expensive lights - which I don't want - I have several headlamps that I have to click thru several options every time - hate that.  Nope, KISS for me.
