Nice light! Bought two more for gifts!

This is a very calming lamp that you can have on in your tent or van without it hurting your eyes from being too bright. The light is well diffused through the durable outer plastic cover, giving nice, soft lighting. It also has a light on the bottom for when you hang it from hooks above you. It’s small, lightweight, and bright.

I got this lantern as a backup to use alkaline batteries for when all my 18650s are dead and unable to power my other Fenix lanterns from extended power outages.
The lantern is a little smaller than I thought it would be which is great. It is significantly heavier than I thought it would be, but not so heavy that it would significantly weigh down a backpack. it feels incredibly well built.
I am like that the batteries run in parallel a lot, maximizing capacity and giving versatility to use fewer batteries.
The brightness modes are very well spaced out and thoughtfully chosen to maximize both usability and runtime.
In the image I have several Fenix lanterns set to Max brightness for comparison.
From left to right cl09, cl25r, cl23 (this lantern), cl30.

Surprisingly Bright. Easy to use functions. Well constructed.

The CL23 uses AA batteries so we can battery share with E12 flashlights. This makes for an excellent lighting system. The feature list for the CL23 is spot on and the build quality is excellent value for the price. Compact, good quality, good feature set…this lantern is a winner.

Still testing this lantern, but it is bright and well made.

Good light! A lot of settings for any type of situation you might need. Bright light for when you’re walking to the restroom at night, dim soft light for when you need to find something in your tent but you don’t want to disturb someone that may be sleeping. I didn’t need this light at all. Just an impulse buy, but I’m have with my purchase. If something happened to this light I would order it again.
