The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

Cheap. Spend a bit more for something this important.
We purchased two of these lanterns because we live in a remote area that frequently experiences power outages during the stormy months. Both lanterns arrived promptly, and we immediately plugged in the pair and let them remain in the outlet for a few weeks. When it came time to use them (during a power outage), one would not even turn on (in spite of the light that had remained on for that entire time showing that it was getting juice). Because we had heard such great things about these lanterns and have trusted the Coleman brand in the past, of course we had tossed all the packaging (making a return impossible - ugh!).
The other one -- ho hum. The light that was emitted was nice and bright but the lantern itself feels very cheap and plasticy.
We will spend more the next time around -- for something so important (be it for a camping trip or power outages: It's important to have light to see), we were silly to scrimp. Rating:

Lanterns for porch
I purchased two of these lanterns Coleman Family-Sized Rugged Rechargeable Battery Lantern for my screened porch to provide light for normal use (not necessarily reading). They not only work great for that but are good to have in case of power loss during hurricanes or other emergencies. Rating:

Nice
I recommend this lantern would recommend to use on low mode b/c high mode not much brighter. Lantern on low mode is very bright. I like that comes with battery charger and car charger and is stored in the base of the unit. You also don't need to purchase batteries for this unit b/c is built in the lantern which is a plus. Also has a night light mode if needed. Also nice to have b/c if there is a power failure at home then you can use the lantern and will be able to see pretty well. Also affordable. |
