Product Description |
| The Coleman 4D Pack-Away LED Lantern is a strong, compact, reliable light source for camping, fishing, travel, and as a standby for power outages and other emergencies. The bright, long-lasting Cree XR-E LED provides 140 lumens on the "high" setting. Coleman's exclusive Pack-Away design allows the lantern to telescope into a built-in carry case for compact storage; the space-saving handle rests against the base so it doesn't take up any extra room. The Pack-Away Lantern runs for a full 40 hours on low and 18 hours on high, with a set of 4 D-cell batteries (not included). The LED Lantern is weather-resistant, with durable ABS housing, a snug fit clear globe, chrome-plated globe guards, and an overlapping ventilator top for duty in the great outdoors. |

 Super. |

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"). |
Great little Lamp

| I used this on a camp trip and the light was great for my small tent. I was easily able to read my book at night with adequate light and turn down the light when not reading. I didn't have problem of the lamp piece easily collapsing into the bottom with a little touch and it actually took a little bit of pressure to get it to collapse. It would be nice to have a button that would lock/unlock it for packing it away. Anyway, I give it 5 stars. |
good little lantern

| While not the brightest lantern out there, it is amazingly compact (packable). Collapses easily and as promised. This is a perfect tent lamp. |
Fairly bright compared to others I've tried

| 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. |
