I took the lantern out of the box, pressed the on/off switch, and no go; no lights. Hm...sat on it for a few days thinking i got a "lemon." Then after dinner, I had time to tinker with it. Let's change the batteries, maybe that was the problem. Spent around 5 minutes examining the lantern, how do you take the top part off? Twist, twist, twist. Pry gently (don't PRY, don't PRY). Finally managed to unscrew the top. You need to have a "good" grip and unscrew the top. There's some sort of rubber gasket/ring between the top part and the bottom part. When I opened it up...low and behold, the instructions were inside, and paper was BLOCKING the contact between the battery and lantern. Screwed everything back in, pressed the button, and we have light. 4*-1 star off for the incorrect instruction on how to take off the top to access the batteries. The instructions (pictures) says to lift up or pull up. It should be unscrew.
