Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)

Product Description

Lantern, 8D Double U-Tube Rugged

Amazon.com Product Description

Light 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Purchase, June 11, 2006
By 
This review is from: Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size) (Sports)
I just bought this lantern for camping and it works great. I would highly recommend it. It takes a lot of batteries but it lasts a long time and is very bright. The smaller version takes less batteries but works about the same. I have now added this lantern to my hurricane supplies, as it will come in handy if I lose power this season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, and got us through two power outages., December 16, 2006
This review is from: Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size) (Sports)
I bought two of these 8 D-cell lanterns for an impending storm, and sure enough the storm happened. Two of these lanterns could light the main floor of our house enough to comfortably walk around and see everything. I was told that one of our neighbors thought we had a generator. So, stock up on batteries next time there's a sale, and be ready for those power blackouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This lantern rocks!, December 21, 2007
This review is from: Coleman Rugged Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size) (Sports)
This gives off a lot of light. When I put it on a table with a mirror behind it, it's even better. During a power outage, I can easily read with the amount of light this lantern produces.

This review is from: Dorcy 41-4750 180 Lumen High Flux LED Cyber Light Flashlight with Batteries (Tools & Home Improvement)
A 180 lumen spotlight/flashlight. It lights up your whole bedroom, or hallway on the way to the bathroom at 2:00am! Very Bright. DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHT!!!
Light weight, fits the hand good. I wanted a flashlight that did not need bulb replacement, this one has a "forever bulb". I wanted a flashlight that uses AA, this uses 4 AA and has a 5 hour run time. In a 4 day outage it should last if used conservatively.
For me it is a perfect flashlight/spotlight.
Instructions on installing batteries is non-existent and hard to figure out. The black bottom UNSCREWS! and the batteries go in two positive inward, and two positive outwards. There are little TINY pictures that show which way so look carefully.
All in all a 5/5 and a good deal to boot!! With another small item, free shipping is available.
Edit: Bought in Nov, 09. Now Apr, 2010. Still on original batteries, with no recharge! Not as bright of course, just a noticeable tad less, but still bright enough for... Read more

This review is from: Dorcy 41-4750 180 Lumen High Flux LED Cyber Light Flashlight with Batteries (Tools & Home Improvement)
Best designed flashlight I've seen. Squared off sides so it sits on surface without rolling. Switch easy to access and use, positive on and off. The yellow color makes it easy to find when it's dark enough to need a flashlight. I'm amazed at the number of flashlights that are black. The hand grip is comfortable. AA batteries cost the same but have 4 times the capacity of AAA's. And it is BRIGHT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great flashlight, March 19, 2010
This review is from: Dorcy 41-4750 180 Lumen High Flux LED Cyber Light Flashlight with Batteries (Tools & Home Improvement)
This flashlight is fantastic. It's very bright, with a nice white light (not bluish like some LED flashlights). The spot is very focused and long. I don't know if it's as long as it's rated, but it's very good. The spill light is also very bright and useful. Overall, the flashlight is very light and easy to hold. The switch is easy to depress. You may not be able to hammer in a nail, like a maglite, but the Dorcy is easier to hold.

I am very happy with this light. I've had several of those "1 million candle power" spots over the years, and either the bulb burns out quickly, or the battery stops holding a charge after a short while. I'm tired of the hassles. This one is a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coleman Twin LED Lantern, December 1, 2009
By

This review is from: Coleman Twin LED Lantern (Sports)
I own two Coleman Max Family Size LED Lanterns (purchased at Wal-Mart) that emit 175 lumens each. In comparison, this Coleman Twin-LED Lantern purchased through Amazon.com emits more than twice as much light (390 lumens), and its light is more diffused, whereas the other two have shadows cast by the four obstructive metal supports, plus the light they emit is more glaring because it isn't diffused. My other two lanterns also have only high and low settings while this one has a variable settings dial.

Anyway, I liked this unit so much that I purchased another. I think it is the best one of its kind available and that you will like it, too. The only disadvantage that I can so far determine is that the lack of the four lid supports may cause loss of some of the protection qualities of the clear, unobstructed plastic protective outer casing against scratches.

5.0 out of 5 stars "light bulbs" (LEDs) in this lamp do not need to be replaced, October 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Coleman Twin LED Lantern (Sports)
We bought this lantern for my husband's 95 year old mother. She lives alone in a northern (snowy) state, and we wanted to be sure that she had an emergency light for power outages. Her fingers don't have the strength to turn some lights on and off, so we liked the totally variable brightness dial on this lamp. It smoothly dials from almost no light to bright, bright, bright. She loved the lamp and said she would use it not only for emergencies but for every day use at her bedside. With this lamp on a night table next to her bed she can just reach over and turn the dial when she wakes at night, instead of having to sit up and struggle with an on/off switch.
As for the warnings in other reviews about not being able to buy replacement bulbs, LED's do not burn out. In addition, they require very little energy to produce light, and you will be surprised at how long your batteries will last.
We did not think that changing batteries in this lamp was challenging.
It's a... Read more

I had done a little research before going on line to order but this was better than the one I had intended to order. I love it for hurricane season and it lights the whole room. Just perfect!
