Compact, very bright December 21, 2008 A. Gorelik (Tampa Bay, FL USA) Nice lantern for camping or emergency use (living here in hurricane country). I like that it has three brightness settings, used the lowest to make my tent easier to find at night. Puts out good light at highest setting. I dock it one star because of the collapsible feature, very easy to close it when you don't mean to, then need to be sure the light is off when collapsed so you don't waste batteries. Would be better if it took a bit more force to shut it when open, also if there were a switch to turn it off when closed. On the other hand, it's a great value as is.

Works as advertised. A couple nits to pick: 1. It's almost impossible to see the settings on the switch on top of the lantern if it's dark outside. 2. It collapses a bit too easily. If you barely touch the top, then it collapses. Why no catch to hold it open? 3. It can be left on AND closed, which would drain the batteries (my wife did this to "turn it off").
Fairly bright compared to others I've tried June 7, 2008 Bargain Finder (Los Angeles, CA) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I've bought some other simialrly priced LED lanterns, and this one is fairly bright. DO NOT expect it to light up a campground like a kersone mantle-type lantern. But for ambient room light during emergencies, and compared to others that claim they have a 10-20 LED's, this 'one-LED' type was brighter than all my others (and they did an especially good job of design to reflcet back light that would normally be 'lost'). And the fold-away capaility is a nice feature since it IS full-size like any Coleman camp lantern. I haven't tested how long it will burn with 4D cells, but definitely use it on the half-power setting. Half-power gives almost as much light as full power. Reason: If you know anything about luminosity, you know that you would need about 4 times the energy to double the light output as perceived by the eye. So save your batteries and stay with the one-half power setting.
