Ledlenser ML6 Lantern Review

PERSON STANDING ON A BEACH AT DUSK HOLDING A LEDLENSER ML6 LANTERN TURNED ON

The Ledlenser ML6 is a rechargeable lantern with power bank functionality. Finding a piece of camping equipment that can serve more than one purpose, like the ML6, well then you know you're onto a winner!

The ML6 lantern is a Portable Power Bank.

The ML6 lantern features a USB connection for charging your technology on the go. During our testing, we successfully charged an iPhone 6, iPhone 11 Pro Max and an iPad Air. All of the devices were charged on different days and I did recharge the lantern in-between each one. And yes, you can still use the light function while charging. Just Brilliant!

Compact Dimensions.

The ML6 is a pocket rocket at 178mm tall and weighs a mere 280g.

An impressive 750 Powerful Lumens.

You’ll be super impressed with the strength of the lighting from the ML6. It features state of the art lens technology to ensure optimal light distribution with maximum energy efficiency. 18 LED’s deliver an amazing 750 lumens on the maximum setting and a minimum of 20 lumens on the lowest setting. The low setting creates a glow that is perfect for reading a book before bedtime.

The Ledlenser ML6 lantern has a Long Battery Life.

The battery duration of the ML6 is up to 70 hours on the minimum light setting (which still provides great ambient lighting) and at least 4 hours on the most powerful light setting.

During our testing, the ML6 lantern was used every evening for 30mins across 10 nights, without a recharge. It showed no signs of losing power or brightness.

Water Resistant.

The lantern and rechargeable battery has an IP54 rating, which provides protection against water projected in a powerful spray.

3 Mounting Options.

A rubber hook for hanging, a built in magnet for mounting on metal surfaces and a removable stand with an extra built in metal hook. We haven’t felt the need to remove the stand yet. The metal hook is smaller than the rubber hook, which is handy as some tents have different sized loops to hang from.

7 Light Functions.

High Power, Low Power, Boost, Blink, Strobe, Pulse, SOS and Red light.

So many uses.

Firstly, the Ledlenser ML6 lantern is an excellent light source for your campsite, worksite and at home. Due to its compact size, it is an easy choice when you need some more light. We use the ML6 to guide our family home in the dark back to camp, for charging our devices, lighting in the ute canopy, handsfree area lighting when night fishing and reading a book after dark. We’ve even used the red light setting to observe sensitive wildlife after dark. The SOS morse code setting hasn’t been needed yet, and I sure hope we’ll never be in a situation that we will ever need it!

Ledlenser ML6 Lantern Overall Rating.

Everyone in our family is so in love with this versatile lantern, we’ve even given it a name, Lenny!

I am so pleased and impressed with the ML6 lantern. It has actually well and truly succeeded my expectations. It does everything that is asked of it with ease and its design is slick and simple.

I really love the USB charging function, not only can it charge all our phones and iPads, it will even recharge our Ledlenser head lamps too. I never really knew how much we really needed it until this lantern came into our lives. Therefore, I’m giving the ML6 lantern 4.9 / 5.

LedLenser gave us the ML6 lantern to test and give our honest review. They currently retail for $129.95. If you'd like to know more about their lantern range, head to the LedLenser website. You can then order them online or find them in stock in all reputable camping/fishing stores around Australia.
