The Norm Thompson Lantern: Plays Music, Provides Light, & Delivers Weather

Perfect for Campers

Norm Thompson has created a unique product known as the Intelligent Lantern. I am one of those campers who has been looking for a solution to the typical lantern. My husband has always claimed that he knows how to operate one, but he never fails to forget what he is "knows". Anyone who has been camping understands how annoying a lantern can be to light. This can be especially true for those of us who forget the equipment needed to light it. The Intelligent Lantern makes lighting the outside that much easier. And added bonus is that it also acts as an alarm clock and has the ability to play music for you as well.

It appears that the Norm Thompson company has created a unique little product here. The Intelligent Lantern delivers what is best described as a super-bright beam. Tests have shown that the light beam has the power to be seen nearly a mile away. This is a handy little light to carry around with you while walking alone at night. The best part is that the lantern is powered by 5 C batteries. There is even the ability to charge or run the Intelligent Lantern through the cigarette lighter of your car. Basically, you can pretty much guarantee yourself that the lantern will not die on you during your camping trip.

There is much more to the lantern that make is even more fun to own. Perhaps my favorite feature is the incorporated AM/FM tuner that comes with the Intelligent Lantern. You can now listen to the local radio as you sit around your camp fire. The only issue many of you may have with this device when it comes to music is that it is not MP3 compatible. My guess is that the company could upgrade the lantern in the near future with this. For now, the AM/FM tuner delivers enough fun to satisfy most of us. At least we have music that we may of not had in the first place, mainly thanks to the Intelligent Lantern.
