Coleman Classic Rechargeable 400 Lumens LED Lantern, Water-Resistant Lantern with USB Charging Port & Carry Handle, Great for Camping, Power Outage, Emergencies, & Home Use

This Coleman LED Lantern IS AWESOME! I have always bought and trusted the Coleman brand with my camping gear. Tents, Sleeping bags, Lanterns, mini stoves etc.,they never let me down and their price point on most things is very fair on a value:quality:cost ratio. I somehow remember knowing that even as a kid - my grandparents as well as my parents, always owned Coleman products and bought them for us kids- summer camping was never without a comfy flannel lined rectangle sleeping bag, and the lanterns, propane and match lit back then- were always the light that was depended upon in the night when the fire or flashlights just weren't available or convenient. This lantern is much more than I expected! ▪︎ It's very light, can safely hang from even the smallest branch, or inside the tent without weighing on the tent clips. ▪︎ The handle has an easy separation mechanism for the situations where you legitimately have no way to get a 1 piece metal handle to attach to your desired hanging object (thinking of a low tree branch that is too long & high up to go over and slide down- but I'm CERTAIN there are some much better use-cases- I'm just too tired to think of any other at the moment) So it's, a simple hooks & latch setup, half of the handle is solid with a hook notched into the underside, and the other half is a split rail that latches on- to separate, you press down & forward on the split side until it clears the hook, and then slightly sideways to have it spring open, a gap of 2" in total. This process is easy, takes no force, (nor aggravation) yet seems to be a smart thing to have when a flat surface, open peg, or clip of sorts is not available. ▪︎ This forever LED is 400 lumens- I'd like Not to see what anything more is like- WOW this is bright! The switch is sturdy, easy-to-use in the dark- just turn 1 notch left for "low" (plenty bright enough to illuminate my dinning room, kitchen and living room, which is an open floor plan, with just a brick chimney, hearth and woodstove, separating the L cove of the living room from the straight shot of the dinning & kitchen- a 28'×48' area. On high, (this is with all other lights, TVs, computers, etc off, and it's been raining for days, so that now waning full moon has not been shining in the windows much at all. On HIGH, it's too bright for sitting on the countertop with ppl sitting in living room chairs, sofa- it's a 'stay above/sit the lamp below eyesight' situation if you choose to turn it on high. Around the campsite- I can't imagine needing anything more- especially with a fire- this will illuminate the woods in all directions for miles if unobstructed. Low is plenty. ▪︎ The bottom twists off, which is where the charger and USB cable are located. It's a USB-A to Micro USB, which is what fits the smaller of the 2 ports on the rubber stopped flip open compartment. It has a USB-A port underneath the Micro USB port - can be used to charge other devices. The Micro USB port is the only thing that gave me pause- just because everything has been a USB-C variant (for me at least, since 2018-19) which was when my cell carrier upgrade came due, and I got the S9, followed by the S10 5G) never have seen a Micro USB since- so 5-6 years, and now I'm going to remember to look at the male end of the cable- oh well, small sacrifice over all the good of this guy here. ▪︎ Charging- it's explained in the manual, but it is a very simple and PRACTICAL process - (why so many other devices have gone to complicated to remember especially when you just got several different items at the same time with these silly Charging/Battery Status/charged light schemes) flashing red turning to a slower blinking yellow, and then green ? nope, no light indication at all- or the blue lights with their blinking in 3 bursts, and the host blinks the number 8, 88, 888, then solid 888, yet the manual says that there will be 8 eights when charging- the screen is equipped with a 3 digit LCD- so 8 digits is indeed, incorrect. And if you are like me, in that I am bordering upon neurotic when it comes to properly changing my devices to be as energy efficient as possible, and get the longest lifespan out of our batteries- which is, I guess part of the first thing- energy efficiency means fewer charges for less overall kwH used on the cables & blocks-- K WELL if so, you'll appreciate Coleman for K.I.S.S. (minus the less efficient Micro USB- I mean, jeez, USB-C has more than just the convenience of inserting upside down and still being right side up- because there's also the same number of pins on flip side- str8 double. Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4. Data transfer, 1 way + charging PD , two-way charging or DP / PD at the maximum speed your charging block can provide/your devices circuits and the corresponding programming permits- but at least we know that our cables are capable of delivering the absolute maximum (and more) than our devices are capable of accepting, while not worrying about overwhelming current heating up and swelling our Li-On batteries. Somewhere I got sidetracked again-- Oh, right- of course: charging the lantern-- this is old-school simple: plug it in red light stays on that very same red light indicator will turn green when fully charged. easy. It took about 4 hours til full. The bulb is a forever LED, never will need to be replaced. The battery is easy to replace if & when the time comes. Underneath the compartment that stores the USB cable and charger, there is a flip lid panel, held closed by 2 small Phillips head screws. They remove, the door will open, and then the battery is simply plugged into a small white wire connector that plugs in/unplugs with the similarity of a cat5/6 data cable or a telephone jack if you are old enough to remember landlines and their native connector from the phone base to the wall jack. I apologize for my long-winded review. I should have waited for the morning when I am rested 🥴 lol. I absolutely recommend this product, and I am not exactly easy to please. Especially with electronics and outdoor gear- this one checks both boxes, and really, I don't get paid for my opinion, I don't get any kind of discount or merch, just my hard earned dollars for the gear I buy... So I am picky. This checks all the boxes except for the Micro USB- but that's an acceptable trade for all that is great about this one 🏕 ⚜️ ♻️ ★☆★☆★ 『』*recycle all Li-On batteries properly please? And actually, any would-be e-waste, please recycle that too!! Our grandchildren and their grandchildren are depending on us for this one more than many other carbon footprint reductions we can make! Thank you! Happy New Year 2024!! Wow!! I'm frickin old!! 🤯

This lantern has two light levels, low and high. It has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The lamp cannot operate for many hours without recharging, which makes it bery good for when electric powers in one's home. I originally bought one of these lamps for myself, but gave it to one of my daughters who needed it. I promptly bought a replacement for myself.

Simple and convenient. Not blindingly bright on the highest setting. Charger and cable storage in the base is great. And the rechargeable battery is easy to replace if/when needed.

This is precisely what I needed for my car. It is handy as a backup lantern in the home, too. The rechargeable internal battery feature keeps operating costs down. If you keep it charged, then you will never be without a bright light, whenever you need it. I will be buying at least a couple more of these!

There is little to complain about with this light other than a bit more lumen output would make this very good camping light a great one. Also, the battery takes several hours to fully charge which was longer than expected The battery life after charging is excellent and lasts for some hours - The unit is very lightweight and though constructed mainly of plastic seems very durable - Though the light output could be better , the brightness in use is adequate for most camping needs. This light would be great to have on hand as an emergency light in a vehicle, boat or home. I am very pleased overall and believe this is a good value for the price paid.

This is my third Coleman lantern and they all live on top of my fridge. Any household with pets probably feels the same way I do about candles. Candles are pretty and smell nice, but can also burn your house down pretty quickly. Give me my Coleman lanterns any day. This is my third generation. My first is forest green and runs on C cell batteries; my second is identical to this one EXCEPT it requires 4 D cell batteries. I have purchased over the years about ten of these. I give them as gifts (complete with batteries). They are so handy. A flashlight requires a hand to hold it. What if you need both hands and more light? The Coleman lantern is your workhorse. Working on the car and it suddenly got dark outside; grab the Coleman lantern and keep at it until the job is done. When the electricity goes out in the neighborhood, grab the Colemans. One neighbor thought I had a generator, my house was so well lit. This lantern should be included in every household's emergency kit. And now it's rechargeable! Just when I thought I couldn't love it more. You should get one, maybe two and don't forget to get one for your mother. No, I don't work for Coleman; just a happy customer.

This is exactly what I need. I bought this to replace an older rechargeable lantern. Primarily for power outages. It's had two major tests so far. It's lightweight, easy to carry around and place nearby. The charge lasts a long time, particularly using the low setting. The low setting has been bright enough to read by. I recommend it highly.

This lamp is very reliable. We use it whenever we need to run to the storm cellar during tornado warnings. We have used it over the last year and have only had to charge it once, so I'd say the battery life is great.

We use this at the camper all of the time! We have had it for a couple of years now and it works so well and has a long battery life.

Lo practico de que sea recargable y que tenga dos intensidades luminosas, muy bueno...

Excelente producto. Ligero y con una potencia sorprendente.

Really like choice of low or high brightness. Charger stores in base and is mini USB so other chargers will charge it. Like the USB port to plug in other devices. Great design.

Muy buena iluminación, fácil de transportar. Excelente producto
