 Excellent emergency lighting February 9, 2010

I purchased this lantern and I waited until I actually used it for the purpose of emergency lighting before submitting a review. I just survived the Blizzard of 2010 in Washington DC with no electricity for three days. This lantern was charged up and ready to go before the storm, and was able to get us through the three days of power outage with about 3 -5 hours per night of judicious use. This lantern works best if hung above eye level as the LED light is probably too bright for most people. However, this lantern gives off sufficient light for reading at night with no eye strain. This is a huge plus when the only entertainment during a blizzard with no electricity is a good book! I used night light, lo and hi settings, and I found that there was significant changes in illumination from setting to setting. The power cable and car charging unit can be stored inside of the lantern base. I leave mine plugged into the wall outlet for on-demand lighting when needed. I particularly like the car charger capability, although I have not yet had occasion to use it. Overall, great product for the intended use of emergency lighting in the home or light for the campsite.
Coleman LED Rechargeable Lantern Review February 6, 2010

This lantern got a great deal of use when we had a blackout for 3 days (storm took out a pole). It was great in keeping the light on for simple tasks through out the home. One slight problem is that it is hard on the eyes if it is near the eyes. When in the middle of the table one cannot help but occassionaly look up at the latern - the LEDs can be too bright. We are use to the previous model with a flourecent bulb or two. Other than that it is easy to recharge and have ready for the next emergency. Amazon was quick to deliver the product.

I think the lantern makes a nice safe backup lighting. like a few other rewiews say you do not want to look at the lantern directly because it is very bright. don't really see a big differnce between low and high setting, low lights up ny room nicely.

I would rate a 3 out of 5. Not great, not bad - very middle of the road to me. It has some nice features such as the night light, but there is nothing about it that stands out. I wish it were a little brighter, but all in all a solid no frills lantern.

At 145 Lumens, this is not a particulalry bright lamp, especially given it's size. A very short 10 hour life (on high) is also poor. Other less expensive Coleman battery lanterns offer comparable brightness and 40 hour life expectancy. Coleman chiseled on the NiCd pack in tis thing and it shows. Even more surprising is the claim in the owners manual that the light may not illuminate at temperatures below 20 degF? What's with this limit?
So, if you want to buy Coleman, I'd suggest the 4D collapsible LED Lantern at $25. If you want good performance, I like the smaller Brunton Polaris.
