The Remix is the lamp for people who forget to charge things. Output is modest and honest. Put lithium AAs in for cold trips. Alkaline cells sag in the cold and leak in a drawer. Check them in spring.

Who should buy it. Beginners and car campers who want replaceable batteries.

Best for. AA batteries and a simple switch

Standout limitation. Not class-leading output
