Is the Barebones Edison Mini Lantern bright enough to read by?

Probably not. It puts out about 35 lumens on low, which is ambience-level light. Use it for mood and tent glow, not for reading or cooking.

Does it come with batteries?

No. It takes two AA batteries, which you supply yourself. Rechargeable AAs are a sensible choice for regular use.

It is water-resistant and rust-resistant, so light rain and damp campsites are fine. Do not submerge it or leave it out in heavy storms.

The Mini is smaller and dimmer, meant for hanging ambience. Larger models give more light and longer runtime but take up more pack space.

It has two brightness levels and a dimmer, so you can dial the warm LED filament down for a softer glow.

The lantern itself with its hanging hook. Batteries are sold separately.
