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.

 Nice Rugged little lantern March 16, 2010
Richard Yanick (leckrone, pa United States)
The cons - it takes 4 d batteries. Buy then at the dollar store and pay about 3.00. The Pro's- sits flat, you can hang it, and it lasts for a long time on those batteries. The difference between the low and bright is noticeable and its nice to have the choice between the 2. Our electric went out for about 4 days this winter and it did a fine job on our dining room table as we played cards when it got dark outside., Used it outside for camping. I am going to purchase another. I see they have a family version, but geeze it takes 8 D batteries so I'll pass on that one.
Great emergency lighting March 10, 2010

The weather has been brutal this year in the northeast.
We recently lost power for three days, and these lanterns were a godsend.
They're sturdy, well made, and light up a huge room.
And like similar products, they don't seem to eat up the batteries as much.
We have two, but I definitely plan on ordering a few more.
Fabulous lantern! February 18, 2010

LOVE this lantern. It's rechargeable (indoors OR via car cigarette lighter) and the best part is that there is a storage compartment on the bottom of the lantern for the power charging cords, so they DON'T GET LOST. Wicked bright, Wicked durable. It is pretty large, so if you're looking for something compact it's not for you. But I HIGHLY recommend it.
Great lantern for emergency February 13, 2010
C. Potvin (Chicago, IL)
I bough this lantern when I was living in Florida and suffered a bunch of power outages. It it light, real bright, and it works great. The batteries last long.
This is a good lantern to have to be able to go around the house, read a little, cook a sandwish... This lantern really fit the bill for an emergency light.
