The Nitecore LA10 Mini Lantern is engineered for maximum portability without compromising on light quality. Its lipstick‑tube body measures just 78.5 mm in length and 22.6 mm in diameter, weighing only 43g when the battery is removed. This slim profile fits easily into a pocket, making it an ideal companion for day walks, overnight treks, or emergency kits.
Light output is delivered by a high‑efficiency CREE XP‑G2 S3 LED in the standard LA10 model, while the high CRI variant uses a Nichia 219B LED that achieves a CRI of 90 or higher. Users can switch between three brightness levels and an additional special mode to suit different lighting needs—from a gentle glow for reading to a brighter beam for campsite chores. All modes are powered by a single AA battery, giving up to 23 hours of runtime on the lowest setting, which is perfect for multi‑day outings where spare power can be scarce.
Practicality extends beyond its light source. A retractable diffuser softens harsh glare and spreads illumination evenly across 360 degrees. The magnetic tail cap doubles as a stand, allowing hands‑free placement on a table or the edge of a tent floor. When you need to carry it along, a removable lanyard lets you attach the lantern to a pack strap or belt loop with ease.
Durability is built into every detail. An IPX6 rating guarantees splash resistance for rain or accidental spills, while an impact‑resistant shell can survive drops from up to 1.5 m without damage. Reverse‑polarity protection and a non‑flickering regulation circuit add reliability, ensuring the lantern remains safe and steady in any situation.
