Key Findings

The ETENWOLF CL6 Camping Lantern was subjected to a 6-face free-drop test from 100 cm onto a concrete surface; the lamp shade cracked on impact and the carry handle showed minor paint loss, though lighting and charging functions remained fully operational — the unit is rated Reference (neither a clear pass nor fail).

• Product: CL6 Camping Lantern
• Drop Height: 100 cm
• Drop Faces: 6 (free-fall at different angles onto concrete)
• Samples Tested: 3 units
• Structural Finding: Lamp shade cracked; carry handle minor paint loss
• Functional Finding: Power-on illumination and charging normal after all drops
• Overall Verdict: Reference — housing impact resistance deemed insufficient for reliable field use
• Report No.: 20260105-001
• Test Date: 2026-01-05

Test Overview

Test Equipment & Setup

Test Procedure

1. Pre-Test: Record ambient conditions (temperature 22 °C, humidity 55 % RH). Inspect all 3 sample units for pre-existing damage and confirm power-on, illumination, and charging functions are normal.
2. Setup: Mount sample on single-arm drop testing machine. Set drop height to 100 cm above concrete surface.
3. Drop 1 (Face 1): Release sample in free-fall from 100 cm. Photograph immediately after impact. Note any structural or functional change.
4. Drop 2 (Face 2): Reorient sample to next face. Release from 100 cm. Photograph and record observations.
5. Drop 3 (Face 3): Reorient to third face. Release from 100 cm. Photograph and record observations.
6. Drop 4 (Face 4): Reorient to fourth face. Release from 100 cm. Photograph and record observations.
7. Drop 5 (Face 5): Reorient to fifth face. Release from 100 cm. Photograph and record observations.
8. Drop 6 (Face 6): Reorient to sixth face. Release from 100 cm. Photograph and record observations.
9. Post-Test: Power on each unit and verify illumination and charging function. Conduct full visual inspection of housing, lamp shade, carry handle, and all structural components. Document all findings with photographs.
10. Acceptance Criteria: Housing must show no cracks or structural defects. All functions (lighting, charging) must operate normally after all 6 drops.

Test Data & Results

Observations: After the 6-face drop sequence, the lamp shade exhibited cracking and the carry handle showed minor paint loss. Electrical and functional performance — including power-on, illumination, and charging — remained unaffected across all samples. The test result is classified as Reference: the housing does not demonstrate reliable impact resistance, but functional integrity was maintained.

Full Test Result Statement: After dropping, the lamp shade cracked and functions were not affected; the housing does not possess reliable impact resistance capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drop height was used in the ETENWOLF CL6 drop test?

The CL6 Camping Lantern was dropped from a height of 100 cm onto a concrete surface, covering all 6 faces at different angles using a single-arm drop testing machine.

Did the CL6 camping lantern pass the drop test?

The CL6 received a Reference verdict — not a pass or fail. The lamp shade cracked after the drops, indicating insufficient housing impact resistance. However, all electrical functions including illumination and charging remained fully normal throughout testing.

What damage occurred to the CL6 after the 6-face drop test?

The lamp shade cracked during the drop sequence and the carry handle exhibited minor paint loss. No functional damage was recorded — power-on, lighting, and charging all operated normally after all six drops.

What do the test results mean for the CL6 product design?

The Reference classification indicates the current housing design needs structural improvement before the product can be considered reliable for field use. Specifically, the lamp shade material and carry handle surface coating are candidates for redesign to achieve a Pass result in subsequent drop testing.
