Jeep Lantern Questions & Answers
My mom purchased this Jeep lantern and does not have the manual that came with it. I don't know how to get the light to stay on. She uses this to get across the street to get her mail. She is an 82 ye
Hi, I'm having a similar issue with my jeep lantern as well. It's actually a really nice lantern, however, when I plug it in with the power cord, it seems like it is A LOT brighter than when it's just running on batteries alone. When using the turn button, it does get brighter and dimmer, just not to the extent I would like it to be as I use the lantern at night as well to do things such as checking the mail and going to my vehicle. I feel much safer with the light at night, but obviously can't keep it plugged in when walking around my property. It just is not as bright running on just the batteries. I'm not sure if there is a mechanical error with the product, but I've never noticed the difference between the brightness until recently. I changed the batteries and it just didn't make a difference. Just wanting to get some advice to see what I could do to try and make the light brighter. Maybe it has to do with the new batteries I bought, however, they are GREAT batteries I purchased and I don't think that is the issue. Some suggestions would be helpful. :)

Where can I find replacement parts for my rechargeable lantern?
It's great that you're looking to revive your rechargeable lantern! Here are some steps you can take to find replacement parts and ensure your lantern is in working condition:
- Check with the Manufacturer: Start by contacting the manufacturer of your rechargeable lantern. They may offer replacement parts for your specific model, including the light tubes. You can inquire about replacement batteries as well.
- Search Online Retailers: Look for online retailers specializing in selling replacement parts for lanterns and flashlights. Websites like Amazon, eBay, or specialized outdoor equipment stores may carry the replacement light tubes you need. Make sure to check if they ship to Canada.
- Visit Local Hardware or Outdoor Stores: Explore hardware stores, camping supply stores, or outdoor equipment retailers in your area. They may have replacement light tubes or similar products that are compatible with your lantern.
- Consider Universal Light Tubes: If you cannot find the exact replacement light tubes for your lantern, consider purchasing universal light tubes that fit the size and specifications of your lantern's sockets. Be sure to measure the dimensions of the sockets and compare them with the specifications of the replacement tubes.
- Test the Battery: Before purchasing replacement parts, it's a good idea to test the battery to see if it still holds a charge. If you have a compatible charger, you can try charging the battery and observing its performance. If the battery no longer holds a charge or shows signs of leakage, you'll need to replace it.
- Inspect for Damage: Since the lantern has been in storage for several years, carefully inspect it for any signs of damage or wear, especially around the battery compartment and electrical components. If you notice any corrosion or damage, it's best to address those issues before using the lantern.
By following these steps, you should be able to find replacement parts for your rechargeable lantern and get it back into working condition. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to contact customer support or seek assistance from a local retailer.
