Norm Thompson has created a unique product known as the Intelligent Lantern. Campers around the world have been asking for solution to the typical lantern. 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. Oh yeah, 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.

Another feature that a lot of consumers will probably enjoy is access to NOAA Weatherband. You will be able to turn your lantern on to this channel and hear about the local weather. This will enable you be better prepared if a storm is planning to make its ugly face present. As if that were not enough already, you finally have the alarm clock system. You will be able to take the lantern into your tent and set up the time that you want to get up the next morning. Or you could just use the clock as an indicator of what time it may be.

The Intelligent Lantern is 9 inches tall and only costs $39. This is a bargain because of all the specially added things that come with this lantern. A lot of regular lanterns will cost you much more than this unique little machine. The powerful light is as powerful as they advertise and the music sounds awesome through the built in speakers. For $39, how can anyone really go wrong in shelling out the money for this lantern. I know that I will enjoy using it on my next camping trip. Live a little and buy one yourself.
