Description of Coleman Retro Rechargeable Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)

Lantern, Retro Full Size, Rechargeable
Tired of camping lanterns that burn through batteries like nobody's business? Turn to the Coleman rechargeable lantern, which offers up to nine hours of runtime on a single charge. The family-size lantern features an 11-watt fluorescent spiral U-tube bulb that shines brightly regardless of its locale, with a reflector that directs the light upward and outward so more people can enjoy it. Should the bulb burn out, the lantern offers a quick-release lever for easy bulb replacement (an extra tube is included). Most importantly, when the lantern starts to lose power, you can easily recharge the battery via a 120-volt AC outlet or a vehicle's 12-volt DC power port (cords included). That means you can recharge the lantern before leaving on a trip, or you can recharge it at the campsite using your car's lighter port. Other details include an "emergency on" circuit that helps overcome power failures, a built-in nightlight, and a recyclable battery. The lantern--which also runs extremely cool to protect against fires--measures 6.75 by 14 by 8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.78 pounds.

About Coleman
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.

Sports reviews of Coleman Retro Rechargeable Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)

Customer Review: Mom loves Coleman's Rechargeable Lantern
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Got this rechargeable lantern for a night reading lamp for my elderly Mom. She loves to read at bedtime and it came handy when the electric power went out during a winter storm.

Amazon also offered 3 small battery operated lanterns as a package deal. Mom used them in the kitchen and the bathroom so she can see her way when the lights are out.

No more worries about candles.

Customer Review: GREAT!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is the second lantern we have purchased, this one was a gift. Great for when the power goes out, even has a night light No one realizes how DARK it can get until a power loss, and this is like having an oasis of light. No worries about having a tons of batteries on hand, you just plug it in to recharge for the next time.

Customer Review: Great Camping lantern...a bit heavy though!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This lantern worked great for camping and held it's charge very well. We only charged it once and was able to use it for three nights without recharging it again. The only complaint I had was that it was a bit heavy and because of the florescent lighting, bugs were attracted to the light which was kind of annoying.

Customer Review: Cute, sturdy, love it!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Bright red makes this electric lantern just as cheerful as a gas-powered lamp, despite its cold fluorescent bulb. I feel this is much safer for my family than anything with a flame. Has three positions: high, low, and night light, which includes a yellow bug light.

Customer Review: Great lantern
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

We've used this several times since buying a couple of years ago. The amount of light it gives off is incredible, and it lasts pretty much as long as they say it will. It's not light though - the battery is fairly sizable and I think it may be lead-acid - not sure.
