is it the ust 60 day 1200 lumen light?
Don't know any lantern with this name.
Did you already look at the lanterns from Fenix?
The CL30R has 650lm.

wow my ozark trail latern looks just like the core 3d but the ozarks says its 500 lumensRaggie's talking about this lantern (on the far left). Like all UST lanterns, it's CW but bright as hell. When I took it camping I set it up kind of out of the way and it casts a nice ambient wash over the campsite.
LiteXpress' Camp71 is very bright, albeit pricey. Two sets of Nichia emitters, CW and WW and together they put out a very bright NW light around 1000 lumens. There's no stop on the bolt that holds the battery compartment closed, so just don't over-tighten it or it will break quite easily.
Core's 4D lantern is quite bright as well with a nice NW tint. It has an adjustment knob, but it's not really stepless dimming. Still, you do end up with 8 brightness modes and if you're lucky enough you may inadvertently stop in between one and have the light go out entirely which is a barrel of monkeys.
I'm bringing the later two with me camping next week.
The Ozark and Core 3D lanterns are essentially the same with only cosmetic differences, namely the OT has a fixed bail and the Core has a folding bail. Same hold for the 4D versions of both.wow my ozark trail latern looks just like the core 3d but the ozarks says its 500 lumens
YOUR CL30R may be defective. But who knows? How often did you send it to the seller/manufacturer for warranty?the cl30r fenix is defective do not buy......
Good choices! Unless you somehow got stuck with some old stock (happens sometimes on Amazon), it should be the updated 1200 lumen version. The Siege is nice, too. Tough little lantern.well i have a 60 day ust on the way sadly im not sure if itt is the 508 lumen version or the 1200 lumen, i also have a streamlight sige d cell on the way
