If you are living in a place on earth where natural disasters don't happen very often (i.e., pretty much anywhere outside Japan) you probably won't think of the Rhythm Lanternclock as disaster preparation equipment. But not all emergencies are natural disasters: even a burnt-out light bulb or a temporary power outage might become major inconveniences and if you are the outdoorsy type - or just spend a lot of time in your garden – a lantern that can also be flashlight and an alarm can come very handy!
And it doesn't much handier than the Rhythm Lanternclock: it is just 40 x 79 x 120 mm (1.6 x 3.1 x 4.7"), it weighs only 260 g (9.2 oz) and charges by USB to give you hours and hours of light – from nine to 72 depending on the brightness level (it has three) or the light mode (it has two: lantern and flashlight). As for the clock (including the alarm), it goes for about a year on one charge! It's also IP44 water- and dustproof and comes with a hanging strap so you can have it safely attached to your wrist.
