Sports reviews of Coleman LED Rechargeable Lantern

Customer Review: An LED Lantern With Several Uses
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I bought the predecessor to this lantern and it has several great features and few shortcomings, however if you are looking for an LED lantern that well compete with the brightness of a propane lantern this is not the solution you are seeking, nor do you want to take it backpacking, but there are several reasons why one would purchase this lantern.

FEATURES
Light: This lantern used an LED light which produces a nice soft light that lasts and lasts.
Settings: The power switch has four settings off, nightlight, low, and high.
Standby Lighting: The lantern also has a standby setting. The standby setting turns the lantern on if 1) one of the charging cords has been plugged into the lantern, 2) the lantern is set in the nightlight or low setting 3) the power is interrupted and 4) the battery is charged.
Charging: This lantern comes with a standard plug-transformer combo as well as a cord that connects to an automobiles cigarette lighter receptacle. Both of the cables can be simultaneously stored in a compartment accessed from the bottom side of the lantern.

PERFORMANCE & BENEFITS
Lighting: Depending on the setting you use in this lantern's charge can last a longtime. I am thinking about turning it off when you're not using it, or not having the lantern set to "High" all the time. Once we had family come visit for a week, and one of my nephews was nervous about the dark so I set this lantern in the hallway on the nightlight setting. I turned the lantern on when I finally made it to bed then off at dawn and the lantern lasted the entire week without needing a charge. (It was summer, so the light was on about 9-10 hours less, over the week, than it would be during the winter.)

Battery Performance: How long the battery last is dependent on how kind you are to the battery, but if you follow the initial charging instructions before using the lantern, then before each use you completely charge the battery the lantern will probable last an entire camping trip, given you are out less than a week and you are reasonably frugal with the lantern use. (If not you can always use the car-charger cord.) The battery takes about six to eight hours to charge.

Fewer Bugs!: Another bonus about using this LED lantern is that most insects are unable to perceive the light it produces; therefore you have to deal with fewer bugs. (See - ['] - for more on this.) I for one like to use this lantern when cooking after sunset, or playing a card game at night or going other "places" where I prefer not to attract bugs.

Safety: For obvious reasons I prefer using this lantern inside a tent. It produces a nice soft light without the dangers of a burning the whole thing down. One other thing is that my kids can handle it and I don't need to worry about burns, scalds, or other accidents only children can conceive in their adventuresome minds.

Toughness: I wouldn't expect this lantern to survive a 12 foot drop (Don't ask me why I picked 12 feet. I'm just saying it's not indestructible.), but since the lantern does not need to withstand high heat it has been built to be more rugged that a lantern sporting a glass globe. In other words I don't mind it if I see a four-year-old carrying it around.

CONCLUSION
Propane lanterns are great and they have their place, but having this LED lantern as part of your camping or emergency supplies is smart. Especially if you see the benefits of not attracting insects, putting a flame inside your tent, have a young child who really wants a big light near by, or having in-home, standby, long-lasting light in case of a power failure.

Description of Coleman LED Rechargeable Lantern

The famous, instantly-recognizable Coleman lantern, with the long life and quality of LED lighting and the convenience of rechargeable power. The Coleman LED Rechargeable Lantern features a super-bright, long-lasting Cree Xlamp XR-E LED, shedding 145 lumens of light on the High setting. A single charge will power the Lantern for 10 hours on Low and 5 hours on High. The included 12V and 120V adapters can both be stored in the base of the lantern, for compact storage. The Lantern features three lighting modes: High, Low, and Nightlight. The durable housing is weather-resistant, with a chrome-plated rhino guard, so it will stand up to outdoor use. Color: Black.

Boasting a rechargeable battery that runs for 10 consecutive hours on low and five hours on high, the Coleman rechargeable LED lantern is a great choice for short camping trips or emergency supply kits. The lantern is equipped with a Cree XLamp XR-E LED bulb that provides 145 lumens of intensity, so you can keep your surroundings well lit in any situation. At the same time, the long-lasting bulb keeps the lantern cool to the touch, making it family-safe. The lantern also includes an "emergency on" setting, which lights the lantern automatically during a power failure. To activate the "emergency on" setting, simply set the lantern to the high or low position while charging the battery. Other features include a durable chrome-plated rhino guard; a weather-resistant housing; and two power adapters: a 120-volt AC adapter for home charging and a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging. Both chargers are stored in the base. The Coleman LED rechargeable lantern carries a five-year warranty.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.

In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
