UCO Leschi LED Lantern and Flashlight
Couldn't load pickup availability
The UCO Leschi is a collapsible LED lantern and flashlight in one unit, weighing 1.6 oz without batteries and rated IPX5 water resistant. Sized for a shirt pocket, it reaches 110 lumens in lantern mode and projects a 108-foot beam in flashlight mode. A single AA alkaline battery powers up to 4 hours of runtime. The Leschi is available in three colors: Aqua Gold, Silver Black, and Red.
Two Lights in One Collapsible Body
The Leschi's frosted globe slides up to diffuse light in all directions as a lantern, then slides back down to focus the LED into a directional flashlight beam. Switching between modes takes one motion and no tools. That dual function means one item covers two distinct needs (ambient camp light and a handheld beam) without carrying separate gear.
Mount It Almost Anywhere
An integrated shock cord in the base lets the Leschi lash to any horizontal or vertical surface up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter: tent poles, guy lines, tree limbs, bars, straps, or flagpoles. That range of mounting options means the lantern can be positioned where light is actually needed rather than where a hook or flat surface happens to be available.
Three Modes Including Strobe
The single on/off button cycles through bright, dim, and strobe modes. Dim mode extends battery life beyond the 4-hour bright-mode rating. Strobe mode provides a visible emergency signal without carrying a separate signaling device.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The UCO Leschi suits backpackers, car campers, and overlanders who want a single lightweight light source that covers both ambient camp lighting and a handheld beam. Its shock cord mount makes it especially useful inside tents or under awnings where hanging points are limited to poles, lines, or straps.
The Leschi requires one AA alkaline battery before use; none is included. The shock cord mount is limited to surfaces up to 1 inch in diameter and will not fit larger poles or rails. At 110 lumens maximum, the Leschi is not a substitute for a high-output area lantern in large group or base-camp settings.
Common Questions
What battery does the UCO Leschi use, and is one included?
The UCO Leschi runs on one standard 1.5V AA alkaline battery. A battery is not included and must be sourced separately. With a fresh AA battery, the Leschi runs up to 4 hours on its bright setting.
How do you switch the Leschi between lantern and flashlight mode?
Sliding the frosted globe upward opens the Leschi into lantern mode, spreading diffused light in all directions at up to 110 lumens. Sliding the globe back down closes the unit into flashlight mode, concentrating the LED into a directional beam that reaches up to 108 feet.
What can the Leschi's shock cord mount attach to?
The integrated shock cord in the Leschi's base wraps around any horizontal or vertical surface up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, including tent poles, guy lines, tree limbs, bars, straps, and flagpoles. It does not require a hook or flat hanging surface.
Is the UCO Leschi waterproof?
The UCO Leschi carries an IPX5 water-resistance rating, meaning it is rated to withstand water jets from any direction. It is not rated for submersion. The IPX5 rating makes the Leschi suitable for rain and wet camp conditions.
What are the three lighting modes on the Leschi?
The UCO Leschi cycles through bright, dim, and strobe modes using its single on/off button. Dim mode reduces output to extend battery life past the 4-hour bright-mode rating. Strobe mode produces a rapid flash suitable for emergency signaling.
