Coleman Retro Rechargeable Battery Powered Lantern (Family Size)

When I first got the lantern I was concerned that it wasn't going to be bright enough. Though once its on for just a couple of min it is significantly brighter. I guess it just needs to warm up a little.
I got the retro looking lantern because I needed the small carrying handle for hanging on hooks. I got 1 of these to try. I wanted it to replace using the propane or Colman fuel lanterns that can smell and get really hot. This worked great. I ended up buying two more after trying it out.
There are 3 settings.
High, lights a small room up completely. Lights a decent area of a large room up.
Low, works well for a reading light.
The night light shines up and out of the little yellow plug on the side. It is a yellow dim light that would work perfect for someone afraid of the dark. Or if you need to move around in the dark around people who are sleeping it is light enough to let you see without waking anyone up.
The base is a bit heavy, but no more so that a propane or gas lantern that would have the tank at the bottom filled with fuel instead of a battery.

It is a well-made lantern with a nice night light. The only negative is that it is quite heavy...about 7 lb. Thus, this is not recommended for backpackers who count every ounce.

Does exactly what it says - came on time and as promised. So far, works fine.

Lantern is heavy but, perfect for vehicle camping. It appears well made
with a nice attention to detail(s). Very pleased with this product.

Well built & heavy. Actually it holds a curly type bulb, not a u-shaped tube, giving off more light. Storage in bottom for the 12-volt car charger. The built-in nite light is actually rather bright, bright enough for leaving on in a tent while sleeping. So far very satisfied with the purchase. Years ago I used a Coleman propane light which ran very hot, and unsafe to leave on in a tent while sleeping. This makes more sense. Eco-friendly. Guess you can re-charge it during the daytime off your car battery, except it takes many hours. Update 7/2008: We had our first 3 hour power outage last nite. This lantern worked great! Actually, I found that running it on low was bright enough to find my way around the house. Left it on the "night light" setting after returning to the bedroom. Still bright enough to see in the bedroom yet sleep. This lantern is excellent!
