Streamlight 44931 Siege 3D: (UPDAT E 2020) Still awesome, versatile, rugged, well designed & built.
Hey folks... this is GeezerSpeak the flashlight-wonk. I have a collection of flashlights and lanterns going back years and it includes close to 50 different types from the best of the brands. To date the Streamlight 44931 Siege LED 3-D-cell is still my very favorite camping lantern. I've purchase 15 of them since December 2018 and gave most of them as gifts. I've updated this review with some additional information. I also recently compared the 44931 Siege to the Rayovac "Virtually Indestructible" Camping Lantern, and the Streamlight is by far more versatile and feature laden. If you wish to see that comparison, click on my name and find the review there. There are some things I have come to appreciate about the Streamlight that are hard to explain. One is that the contacts inside the battery compartment can easily be readjusted and cleaned. For long-term use that's important. You will need to on a rare occasion adjust the contacts with your fingers because after you've slammed D-cells in and out of the battery compartment a few hundred times the contacts can get a little soft. But it is really easy to do, and it can be done in total darkness, no guesswork, once you are familiar with the battery compartment. This need for adjustment occurs on a lot of Alkaline-powered flashlights & lanterns, but many of those have contacts that are hard to access or adjust. Furthermore, I can actually determine the proper battery direction in total darkness because I can feel the contacts with my fingers. You can't do that with a lot of lanterns. I discovered this beneficial feature during a blackout, when I realized that all I had to do to determine battery orientation was to feel inside the battery compartment for the largest elevated contact,,, that being the only one that connected to the negative side of a D-cell. The other two batteries would then be inserted with the positive side going into the compartment. Another thing I have come to appreciate about the Siege 44931 is their durability. I have subjected the Streamlight to exceptionally abusive conditions and I've yet to have a failure or leak. I have dropped them, drowned them, and the one I keep in the shower has stayed wet continuously for two years. It is impressive. Another thing I love is the fact that the switch acts as a battery monitor to let me know when the batteries are running low. Ordinarily I use NiMH batteries in these lanterns, because they get used daily. This battery monitor feature is very beneficial. It keeps me from ruining my NiMH batteries by depleting them to zero. NOTE: Regarding NiMH batteries, I have found the most economical approach is to use AA cells in single-cell AA-to-D plastic adapters. Yes you swap batteries more often. But the adapters that use 2 or 3 cells each were introducing some variables that resulted in a few incidents of depleted cells... something to be avoided. This doesn’t happen with the single-cell adapters. Here's why. In the single-cell version all the cells are connected in series. In the multi-cell adapter versions some cells are in series but some are in parallel. That's where the problem comes in. Regardless, using the 1-cell-adapters I haven;t had any depleted NiMH cells, and it works well. Having said that... if I'm going camping I use regular D-cells. Another thing.... I know that rechargeable Li-Ion (Lithium) is all the rage these days... but I prefer lanterns that can take either NiMH or standard Alkaline cells. For one I am never without backups and I'm not exclusively dependent on a charger. Lithium Ion cells will eventually wear out, and if that happens while you're in the field, you're out of luck. I don't worry about that with the 44931 Siege. Also the Run-Times are typically longer for a given Lumen Output using either Alkaline or NiMH versus Li-Ion. But the biggest reason I prefer lanterns that use regular cells is because of our experience post hurricane Ike when we were without power for 10 days. If you are relying on a rechargeable and you DON't HAVE an inverter for your car or a really large solar panel... then you are at a loss. But there were plenty of Alkaline batteries we could get during Ike. So... everything that used regular batteries remained useful... but not the rechargeable flashlight and lanterns we had at the time. They were done in a couple of days. Oops. So lesson learned. The feature I like most on the 44931 is its light-diffusing globe. You can have the lantern right on the table while the gang plays cards and it doesn't blind you. But if you need to illuminate an area, take the globe off and hang the lantern upside-down overhead. It is plenty bright. By the way it is waterproof with the globe attached or not, doesn't matter. NOTE: If you're looking exclusively for table lighting take a look at the Mini-Siege Streamlight 44941, it is only 200 lumen and very civilized lighting for tabletop use. I own four of those. PROS: Very well designed and built... 2 meter impact resistant IPX7 waterproof Floats in water Full O-ring Protection One-way-vented battery compartment key-post-guided battery cover for blind assembly long run-times on all settings realistic run-time estimates 3-basic light modes and...more... also has an eye-friendly red mode and SOS light-diffusing globe removable globe for down light tent-top use lighted battery-level indicator (on off switch turns colors) D-ring-clips top and bottom for hanging carry handle with built-in hook-notch Uses 3 D-Cells, but also works well with NiMH or Lithium batteries, and AA to D adapters CONS:: ..... NONE RECOMMENDED (Five Star) As a total LED wonk I heartily recommend this lantern. For one... unlike many of the lantern makers out there, Streamlight calculates their run-times to only 10% of initial value... NOT down to 1% as so many other companies do, so their run-time estimates are more accurate. There will still be some usable light output at the specified times, The lantern will tell you when you're close to exhausting your batteries. The built-in battery-level indicator goes from green to yellow to red as as you approach the end of charge. The button also flashes red if you install one of your D-Cells incorrectly (reversed polarity). The 3-levels of White light are enough to illuminate your work area, camp table or tent. Don't expect it to light up an entire yard though. The lantern provides useful light without being harsh on the eyes, thanks to the quality diffuser they use.. Another really well thought out feature is the red-light mode. What makes it unique is that it is totally separate from the 3-level white-light mode. You enter and exit it with a long-press of the power button (about 2 seconds). So when you're on a deer-stand and you're using red-mode it will NOT sequence back into white-light when you turn the lantern on and off. It stays red until you decide to switch it out of red-mode by long-pressing the power button. The Siege is extremely well built and comes with more than the usual amount of handy design features. If you research this lantern you will find that the vast majority of the reviews are excellent. As always... and for the record... My reviews are without any commercial bias or affiliations, and NEVER compensated in any way. I only review products that I purchase for my personal use. If I like a product or brand, or if I don't... I'll tell you honestly why. Thanks for reading..... GEEZER SPEAK

The best of the compact lanterns
I keep six LED lanterns and a pair of NEBO flashlights around the house in case of summer rolling blackouts and planned power outages. After trying several different models, I found my favorites were the medium-sized lanterns distributed by AYL, Lepro, Streamlight and others. I like the Streamlight Siege the best since it has all the features I prefer and seems to be the best made. I like the round base of the lantern which fits comfortably in my hand, letting me control the light settings with my thumb. This is especially handy when I remove the globe and use the lantern as a flashlight. Every lantern seems to have a different light sequence. The Streamlight has a straightforward HIGH-MEDIUM-LOW sequence. Once a setting has been selected the next push of the button turns the light off without having to go through an annoying flashing setting as on other lanterns. The red light and SOS flashing is a smart feature, one I haven’t seen on another lantern. Plus it’s on a separate control sequence, so if you don’t need it you’re not forced to cycle through it. A diffused globe is also something I want since LED light is quite harsh and without some kind of diffusion the light can be uncomfortable on the eyes. The Streamlight has a milky white diffusion globe that does a good job of softening the light. I also like the ability to use C or D batteries. I’m phasing out my use of D batteries with the handy Whizzotech AA-to-D adapters that accept one to three AA batteries. I’m still using alkaline batteries but am slowly switching to white Eneloop rechargeables. Both work well in the Siege. Reattaching the bottom cap after inserting batteries can be tricky on some lanterns, but the Streamlight Siege is the easiest of all the ones I’ve used and feels the best made. While having several lanterns on hand during a power outage is a good idea, I’ve found the best way to light up a dark room with a standard-height ceiling is to stand an LED flashlight upright. A powerful flashlight like the NEBO Redline Blast produces a softer, more diffuse light than a lantern.

Amazing!
I was looking for a small lantern for backpacking and using in my small tent for reading/writing etc. I'd looked around at various reviews but I was quite taken by this lantern. On receiving the light, I was pretty darn taken with it, haha! It's a lovely size, just right for filling small spaces. The light isn't harsh on the eye, and it has a variety of different ways to use it: hanging by the handle, upsidedown with a clip, or I've even used it as a torch. The product is sturdy and it's been rattling around in my rucksack without any problems. It also has very strong magnets on the base. All in all, would highly recommend if you're a backpacker/camper with a smaller tent The smaller size is quite unobtrusive and it packs a great, even light.

The best LED Lantern I have come across but hard to find in the UK and therefore costly however it is worth it.
I have had a number of LED Lantern over the years and they always disappoint, however this lantern stands head and shoulders above the other manufactures and is my favourite. I only been using it for 2 days but for those days I have been camping and climbing in Snowdonia North Wales.. On with the review, it is very well made and strong, can take a bump or two. Changing batteries is a breeze, the bottom battery cover has a locator and you just push and turn until it clicks, unlike others I could mention, just read the reviews. The light is bright enough to read a book by and you often turning it down to make it softer, there is also a red option for night vision which I use when having a night time barbeque and having a few late night glasses of wine :). There is a top and bottom carabineer type hooks which snap into place when not in use, this facilitates hanging the lamp on a suitable support. Oh it is also water resistant and floats, I have tried it. Operation is easy, press once and light comes on at full, press again within 1.5 seconds for medium and press twice for low brightness. To switch between white and red mode just hold button in for 2 seconds. Once on, press button normally once to turn off. Note:- it memories the mode (white or red) the lamp was in when it was turned off, so when it is switch on next time, it is in the same mode as before. Operation sound complicated but it's not really. Batteries life is long, still got the originals in and there is a battery indicator in the button (green, yellow, red then flashing red). For the use I will give this thing if it lasts a year it will be 10 times longer than the others I have had. There is a video review of this lantern on YOUTUBE, check it out. Have fun but be safe. :)

Excellent product!
This is a really good lamp. While its a bit expensive, I think it is worth it as it has a very rugged feel to it. I would preferred to have bought one that takes AA batteries but that model was not available for shipping to me. This one takes large D size batteries, which I'm using at the moment. Still I bought a pack of plastic inserts which convert AA to fit the D size. It's a fantastic lamp to have in the house in the event of power cuts & emergencies!

The marketing department needlessly threw away a star...
Having got your attention... Bought to gift so it was disappointing it didn't come boxed. I'm certain it's new, still had its retail hanger and lens sleeve. I think the marketing department has needlessly thrown away a star by going boxless. That aside I'm hugely impressed with the product, so much so I'm probably going to order one for myself. Though I don't personally favour D cells it appears to work OK on AA to D adapters though obviously run-time will be less. Size wise I don't think it is excessively large for a main household emergency lantern or to put that differently maybe AA lanterns are a little small for household duty. I like the warm white light. It beggars belief that some lanterns makers are still using cool white. Other likes compared with the obvious competition, strong karabiner clips top and bottom and the little loop on the carry handle to stop it falling from a line, though I'd still recommend using the clip. Also of note is the keyed battery cover (no stick-on arrows here), though I did find the battery adapters tended to obstruct the pillar. Probably just needs some practice. Everything else I hope is in accordance with the product description.
