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.
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 Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)
Customer Review: A solid light
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
We took the lantern camping for the first time and beat it around during travel and around the campsite. It performed well (although I still miss the "hiss" from the white gas model). Haven't used it enough to comment on battery life but the light that it generates is excellent.Customer Review: pretty good!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is pretty good! The light is not all that bright but it works well for those times when we need to see what's going on in the barn at night. And it's been great in our recent power outages. I do recommend it.Customer Review: battery lamp
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Of course it isn't the brightest but will work fine as a tempory light when all the lights are out. And with no danger of tipping over or burning anything. Just what we wanted for the price.Customer Review: Does the job - lots of batteries
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This light is actually very nice! It puts out a lot of light, but the amount of batteries it takes it kind of ridiculous though.Customer Review: Disappointed that it is not rechargeable.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I was disappointed that this lantern is not rechargeable. It takes a lot (8) D batteries. I am sure that it noted this in the description, but I failed to notice it. However, I am going to keep the lantern for emergencies and such. Maybe the batteries will last longer than I think.
