Description of Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)
Lantern, 8D Double U-Tube RuggedLight up your campsite with instant, long-lasting illumination with the Coleman rugged battery-powered lantern. The family-size lantern boasts a 13-watt fluorescent twin U-tube bulb that delivers a bright white light, along with a heavy-duty thermoplastic and rubber housing that holds up to heavy use. More significantly, the lantern will keep your tent well lit for hours, with a runtime of up to 28 hours on the low setting and 18 hours on the high setting (the lantern runs on eight D batteries, sold separately). And should the bulb eventually burn out, you can replace it in seconds thanks to the lantern's quick-release system. Other details include a comfortable handle grip, an easy three-position switch (off, low, and high), a weather- and shatter-resistant exterior, and a nonslip rubberized grip. The lantern--which runs cool thanks to the cool-touch bulb design--measures 9 inches in diameter and 15.25 inches tall and weighs 3.26 pounds without the batteries.

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.

Sports reviews of Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)
Customer Review: Great emergency light
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
very good emergency lamp.I got one for one of these large ones and another of the smaller ones of the same lamp both for my mother and I was so impressed with their ease of use that I ordered another large family one and two of the smaller ones for my wife and I in our own home. these things are great!.they give plenty of light and last for a very very long time on one set of batteries, and the good part is that they use the cheaper large D type batteries.the large lamp gives good whole room light and the smaller ones are very light for each person to carry from room to room as needed.This larger family one is a bit heavier due to it useing 8 D batteries. but the smaller is a lot lighter in weight due to it only using 4 D batteries.Customer Review: Brilliant
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this lantern because we didn't have enough light for our trip last year. This lantern performs beautifully. It's nice and large, doesn't require flammable fuel, isn't too heavy -- and it's bright white light . . . bright enough to light up our 10' x 10' canopy area.
There is a high and low setting, but the low setting is not very much lower than the high setting, so we set it on low to conserve the battery life. I've just gotten back from a two night camping trip and this lantern has plenty of juice left in it.
I am happy with this lantern and would buy it again.
Customer Review: Power out - again!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this lantern for the House where the dogs live, it's abut 1000 square feet. Three days after I received it (and hubby bought the batteries) the power went out - again. The lantern lit the entire back yard so the dogs could see when they went out to potty. I was amazed at how much light it threw. It also has two settings so I used the lower setting inside. If I only need it just that one time, it was still worth it! Generator being installed as I write this! <G>Customer Review: Great light when there's no power!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We were without power for a week in September. For most of that time I was making do, and that not very well, with candles and flashlights. That quickly got really old. Then I discovered and bought this lantern. It makes great light, enabled me to do more, and lifted my spirits. I was so impressed that I got one for each of my kids and their families, and for a couple of friends, so that none of them will have to be in the dark in the way that and for as long as I was.Customer Review: Keep this on hand
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm not a camper, and instead bought this to keep on hand for a power outage, having endured one last month with nothing but a puny flashlight. This lantern gives a lot of light, is easy to put batteries in (I ordered a large pack from Amazon so would have extras on hand, too). I highly recommend this item as a great light source inside the house if the power goes out and to use outdoors to walk the dog at night, or a myriad of other uses.
