Coleman 1000L LED Lantern with Enhanced Battery Protection, Water-Resistant, Batteries Last up to 25% Longer Than Other Lanterns, Great for Camping, Power Outage, Emergencies, & More

The packaging was horrible. The boxes were inside a plastic bag. When they arrived, one of them had pieces lose inside the bag. thank goodness nothing was broken and I was able to put the pieces back where they belonged with no issues. They work just fine and I love how easy they are to use. I wanted a pair that used only regular batteries because you can always have spare batteries around if you lose power. You can't charge the others if you are without power for an extended period. They seem well constructed, after all, they survived being shipped in nothing more than a plastic bag. I like the size and the different brightness settings. I would recommend.

Just like I like them, simple and they work.. I turn the knob and it tells me what setting I'm on.. I don't need to cycle through all of the modes to figure out what I'm on.. Nice and simple, and it give me enough light. AND it closes well with the batteries in it. (some are a real pain).. I got this for power outages.. If we lose power for a few days, how am I going to recharge dead batteries? I'm not.. so, I went with good old fashioned batteries.

This lantern was perfect for me. I'd purchased another lantern not too long before I bought this one but that lantern had to be charged often while this lantern used honest to goodness batteries and will last quite a bit longer. In my opinion, when camping out where there's no electricity, using a lantern with actual batteries is the only way to go. A great thing with this lantern is that when not in use there's a feature that will not cause the batteries to continue to drain. This lantern is not only lightweight but it's built to last. I'm pleased with the different brightness selections, a bright setting for when I'd like to read before going to sleep or the lowest setting for being able to see around the tent but low enough to sleep.

READ THIS BEFORE PUTTING IN BATTERIES!This is a great lantern if you get it correctly. I had the same problem everyone seems to have with the lid not opening once you put in the batteries. After major struggle pulling out the lid, I found out why it had gotten stuck in the first place.The middle part sticking out from the lid that goes in the middle hole between the batteries has a tear drop shape. YOU HAVE TO ALIGN THE SHAPE when putting on the lid. If you don't align it and just stick the lid in, it will go in but you will have a hell of a time getting it out. If it's aligned you won't have a problem at all.If you get the lid part correct it's a great lantern. I like that it has multiple light settings and that the brightest setting is bright but doesn't blind you.Seems very sturdy too, because I had to yank the lid open with the help of a couple screw drivers when it first got stuck and it didn't break haha.

The lantern doesn't just make a little circle of light. It lights the whole room with a bright light. I got it because when a local electrical storm caused my power to go out just as I was starting to make a salad for a potluck at my church the next day. I couldn't find my flashlight. My computer stayed on because of its battery. I chopped vegetables from what light my computer screen provided. I won't be in that situation again, thanks to my lantern

Small but provides good light

excellent design overall.. small, compact, light weight, no sharp edges, easy to use 3 switchable light intensities,. works perfect.. i like it.. I recommend.. pricey... has potential for 5 star rating if CAUTIONS corrected..not as bright as anticipated, I assume flood lights do not seem as bright as beam lights due to no focus..so i can live with that...seems fragile, not for rugged outdoor use, so handle with care.CAUTION...., battery installation is tricky.. look for battery polarity decals on sidewalls of compartment ( easily overlooked )..when installing battery base cover, observe alignment of covers center shank into main body tube.. ( easily overlooked ) .. its tear drop shaped.. only goes in one way.. if you jam it together, without paying attention, miss-alignment of mating sleeves "will" become stuck, causing base to be almost impossible to remove without total destruction, making lantern useless...instructions do not tell you of either cautions..
