battery lantern

Cell-powered lamp

A battery lantern is a portable light source powered by batteries rather than fuel or electrical outlet.

Larger and more powerful than a flashlight, it typically has a handle and provides ambient light in multiple directions rather than a focused beam.

Battery lanterns are common for camping, power outages, and outdoor activities: We hung the battery lantern from a tree branch at the campsite.
