Coleman 4D XPS Personal-Size LED Lantern Review

Coleman 4D XPS Personal-Size LED Lantern
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered two of these lanterns for use during power outages. I opened the first one, inserted batteries and turned the unit on. It is bright and is best suited for placing higher up and letting the light diffuse downward. The one thing I noticed was that the switch seemed cheap and poorly made. In particular after rotating on and off a few times the light would flicker as I had to find the sweet spot for each of the settings on the lantern. At first, I thought it could have been a defective unit, however I took the second one out of the box and it did the exact same thing. This is not something I considered worthy of returning the items for. It worked in each of the settings, but just took a little wiggling of the switch to get it right and is something worth noting for potential buyers.

Decent quality product for the money. I first thought it was defective when some kerosene leaked past the down tubes that connect to the the bottom tank, but found out this is a typical design issue with this type of rail road lantern. Don't tip it and it will be fine.

Coleman CR123A Lithium Pack-Away Lantern Review

Coleman CR123A Lithium Pack-Away Lantern
Average Reviews:

this coleman lantern is very small and very light.
100 lumens of light is doubtfull. The light is very uneven and blinding in your eyes but useless in lighting your area.
A search on the internet came up with $20 +$8 shipping. I would definetely return it had I bought at amazon at the price they are charging. Amazon has the best price 99percent of the time but is way off on this.
I plan to experiment to see if I can even the light. Somebody mentioned using fingernail polish remover to dull the plastic to even the light.
I have several of the small coleman lanterns using 3 AA bats that work better that cost about $10.

Coleman Liquid-Fuel Lantern Hard-Shell Carry Case,Red Review

Item protects the lantern just fine when closed.And the cover is compact, taking up no more room than necessary. When the top is off it provides a solid stable base for the lantern.It also provides a small storage area for mantels and spare matches. My only real objection is that getting the lantern off and on the base. It is a real terror. And getting the cover off the base is just as difficult. I did get the carry case in pretty cold weather so Perhaps when the weather is warmer it will be easier, at least I hope so. All in all it is does just what it supposed too.

Coleman Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern,Black Review

Coleman Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern,Black
Average Reviews:

This is truly an amazing light. However, it is so bright that while illuminated, even on the low setting, most of the viewing angles produce a glare from internal reflective materials that is blinding. It is a very clean bright white light but a dimmer might have been a better option than a two position hi/lo switch. It is good quality but I'm only giving it three stars because of the glare issue.

Lightweight, compact and powerful, the Coleman 4AA Pack-Away Lantern is a great choice for backpackers, trekkers and anyone who wants a high-performance light in a small package. Weighing just 8.3 ounces with the included four AA batteries, the Pack-Away Lantern features a clever telescoping design. Closed, it's not much larger than a deck of cards -- 3.2" x 1.5" x 2.6" -- so it's easy to pack and transport. It opens to a height of 4.875", providing an uncommonly bright LED illumination. The Cree XLamp XR-E LED produces 95 lumens of bright light, amplified by a highly-efficient conical reflector. The 4AA Pack-Away Lantern runs for approximately 12 hours on low and 6 hours on high. The Lantern also features an emergency strobe light, which will run for up to 75 hours on a fresh set of batteries. The lantern uses a simple push-button control, large enough to find and use even when wearing gloves or mittens. Automatic shutoff ensures that the light goes out when the lantern is closed, saving batteries and preventing accidental operation while in a pack. A bail handle can be flipped up to hang the lantern in a tent or from a limb; the handle conveniently snaps to a closed position for storage. Carabiner clip included. Color: black.

Coleman LED Quad Lantern Review

Coleman LED Quad Lantern
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been a long time believer in only using propane lanterns when car camping. Previous battery operated lanterns with florescent bulbs that I have tried have always lacked for sufficient light to eat by let alone cook or setup a tent with.
But, then I discovered the Coleman LED Quad Lantern and everything has changed. This is, by far, the best camping lantern I have ever used! Not only is it super bright, it is smaller and more convenient than a propane lantern - especially since I no longer need to tote around gas canisters.
But, this lantern is more than just a lantern; it provides for personal lighting needs as well. Each of the lantern's four light panels detach and work as rechargeable hand lamps for that rummage in the back of the truck for gear or the scramble to the bathroom sight in the middle of the night. And, with a 1-1/2 hour charge time, that makes these light panels useful for reading in the tent, etc.
It is not only this lantern's overall design that make it great, but the attention to little things as well. For example, the rechargeable light panels are powered by standard AA rechargeable batteries. Unlike other rechargeable light systems where the battery is sealed and inaccessible, if a battery eventually fails, it can be easily replaced with a standard, off the shelf rechargeable battery.
No more propane, no more broken mantles, no more trying to light a propane lantern in the dark. The Coleman LED Quad Lantern is the lantern of the future that I bet all competitors will try to copy.

Combining an area light with four portable lanterns in a single clever unit, the Coleman LED Quad lantern is a versatile choice for indoor or outdoor use. The Quad is equipped with four removable LED panels that hold 24 LED lights total. Users can remove any of the four panels and use them independently, such as when needing a portable light for the bathroom or tent, or they can keep all four attached to the lantern and produce 190 total lumens of light. As a result, the Quad is the perfect light for group camping trips and any other occasion where folks might splinter off into smaller groups during the night. Each of the panels is a fully functioning light, with six 5mm white LEDs, a rechargeable NiMH battery, an independent on/off switch, and a top handle for carrying or hanging. The NiMH battery--which recharges when stored in the lantern base--provides up to 1.5 hours of light on its own. The lantern base, meanwhile, requires eight D-cell batteries (not included), which provide an approximate run time of 75 hours for the entire lantern. Other features include a main on/off switch located on top of the lantern, a light range of 26 feet, and a limited 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.

Coleman 8D Family Size LED Lantern Review

Coleman 8D Family Size LED Lantern
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this little LED lantern. You can adjust the amount of light you need. Even on the highest setting, it does not seem very bright, but if you are in total darkness, like a power outage, it is perfectly fine for
doing what you need to do. Yes, it could stand to be a little brighter.
The biggest problem I have with it is, the glass is clear, and there is nothing to filter the glare of the LED and reflector. It's very annoying. I solved the problem by cutting a 4 1/2 X 10'' strip of white tissue paper and wrapping it around the glass. Not only did this fix the glare, the tissue paper also acts as a "diffuser" and spreads the light evenly, and softly in every direction without effecting the overal brightness. It just made it softer, and more pleasant. The lamp does not get hot, so no worries. I have had the light on high all night, no problems.
So, with the tissue paper diffuser I give it a 4 star rating, without the diffuser, I would give it 2 stars, simply because the glare is so annoying.

Appears rugged enough to withstand the rigors of car camping. It's not particularly bright, but will illuminate your immediate area adequately. The difference in light output between High and Low settings is barely noticeable, you might as well use it on Low most of the time to save battery.

Coleman MicroPacker Compact Battery Lantern Review

Coleman MicroPacker Compact Battery Lantern
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a rugged little lantern. I have to say that for $10, I was not expecting something of this quality. This is a solid well constructed unit that will not disintegrate if it gets knocked on the floor.
Other reviewers have stated this provides light for weeks. Not so... While technically it may output light on 3 AA batteries for 125 hours, it isn't at usable levels.
I bought two of these, and as soon as I received them, I took one of them and inserted the batteries that were included with it, turned it on and left it. I wanted to see if it would live up to other reviewers claims on battery life.
I realize that battery life would be extended with intermittent usage rather than continuous use, but if you are planning to use this for emergencies, you may need it running continuously for extended periods.
Anyway, the first 24 hours were the brightest. It easily illuminated my 10 X 12 study well enough to distinguish objects around the room, and I had no problem reading by it. After 48 hours, it did get somewhat dimmer and to read by it, I had to hold the book right next to the light. At approx 72 hours the light was feeble and I had difficulty reading a book with the light right next to the book. The light output was less than a standard night light I have in my bathroom.
At this point, I opened up my second lantern that I had purchased, inserted the included batteries and set it side by side with the lantern that had been running continuously for 3 days. The lantern with the fresh batteries was far far brighter, so at this point I ended the experiment as I felt that the light output from the lantern that had been running for 3 days really wasn't useful.
The last thing I did was to insert 3 fresh energizer batteries in the lantern that had been running for 3 days and set it side by side with the lantern with the fresh batteries that were included with it. The lantern with the energizer batteries was noticeably brighter.
So, buy the best batteries you can and you may well get the 125 hours of light this is purported to produce.
All in all, this is a very good value for the price.

Just received this product so I will defer commenting on battery life until later. Overall I have been very pleased and surprised with this product. First off, this lantern is fairly compact...I was under the impression that this would be larger from the pictures but once I opened it up, I was pleasingly surprised. The unit is very compact and feels very sturdy. There is rubber on the base and around the lower portion of the lantern, the switch is very easy to operate and has 3-modes (High, Low, and Strobe). The entire top/globe can be unscrewed and hung upside down (clip in the base) to use as a room or tent light in "bare bulb" mode. Overall I have been very impressed with the output of this lantern as well. This is a very bright lantern for it's compact size; outshining normal 4D fluorescent U-tubed lanterns and a coleman pack-away LED lantern. The diffuser is also very pleasing with no rings, lines, or shadows to speak of. In bare bulb mode, the light is almost too bright for your eyes but works well if it's hung high overhead (so you're not looking directly at the unit). Low mode is also very useful and brighter than your typical "nightlight" levels in other LED lanterns "low" modes. Overall I am very impressed with this product and plan to purchase more of these units for use while night fishing, camping, and to use during power failures.
Update (10/31/09): Just an update, I recently used this light in a power outage and it performed great. Bright and the batteries are still going strong. I also purchased 2 additional units and with just 3-D batteries each, who can complain! This is a great compact lantern.
