Product Description |
| The Coleman 8D Family-Size LED Lantern is a strong, 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 170 lumens on the "high" setting. The innovative conical reflector diffuses and disseminates light for a wide, spotlight-like area of illumination. The lantern runs for a full 66 hours on low and 32 hours on high, with a set of 8 D-cell batteries (not included). It even sports a "nightlight" setting. 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. A bail handle makes the lantern easy to hang up, carry, pack and store. |

 GREAT LIGHTING - a little heavy... |

| These lanterns have a nice range of brightness, and stay on for a long time - Of course, they DO use alot of batteries, but the LED light is a conserving one. Speaking of batteries, the 8 D batteries make this lantern quite heavy - which is OK, unless you are a 90 year old and have to carry it around on your walker!! If you want a sturdy lantern with a long lasting light, this is a good one. |
Good quality, plenty of light

I wanted a lantern for use in our camper and specifically purchased this one because it is LED (low energy consumption, long lamp life) and because it has the night light feature. On the high setting, it seems to put out enough light. Even the night light setting is pretty bright, almost too bright for a small camper. I definitely agree with the other reviewers that you don't really want to stare directly at this lantern because of the glare.
The overall quality of the lantern is very good. Once you get the (8) D batteries in there, this is definitely not a lantern you would ever take on a camping trip where you are packing very far from the car. However, it is great for car camping and also much safer than candles as a backup light source in the event of a power outage. |
AWESOME! I am getting 2 more!

| It is difficult to find a battery operated LED lamp that will last a long time, give off TONS of lumens, and have all the features needed for my emergency kits. |
Great lantern for many uses

I purchased this lantern last summer to take camping. Prior to buying I researched many different lanterns comparing their lumin output, battery life & multiple light settings. This Coleman was my final choice & I have been more than happy with it. We used to have an old lantern that used two six volt batteries that didn't put out very much light,was very heavy & it was expensive when replacing the batteries. This lantern with it's three different light settings saves on your batteries & gives you more choices on the amount of light needed.
The main reason in buying this was to get away from using our old propane lantern inside our tent & RV because of the hot exterior & potential fire hazard. This is ideal because it eliminates both problems. We recently experienced two power outages in rain storms, we pulled out the lantern & it "saved the night".
I originaly purchased this lantern from Wal Mart & returned it after finding it on Amazon for less money, no state tax & no shipping fee. Both of my daughters & two of my frinds have purchased this lantern after seeing how well ours works. After our power outage I am considering buying a second lantern.

Great lantern that only sips battery juice

| I purchased this lantern in case of long power outages. I was concerned that it takes 8 D-cell batteries. What I discovered, however, is that those batteries keep this lantern going forever. It has several LED lights that draw very little power, and a center reflector that really seems to amplify the light. I keep the lantern handy at all times and have a spare supply of batteries for the "just in case." I doubt that I will ever get to the spare batteries before they start to lose power just sitting on the shelf. |
