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

I needed a second emergency light in the event we're in a black out and I settled on this. The unit is very solid feeling, it can easily be hung up, though I personally wish it had a meatier handle. It's real bright-it lights up a room better than my old one. But the goal mostly was to just have two.

I have the bigger green Coleman and decided to get another. Excellent product.

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.

It is bright. But for over $40 you would think this is a full sized lantern. It is not.

Fantastic light. This is the emergency lantern to have. We had the original bulb version that lasted 35 years! And only replaced it because the batteries leaked and destroyed the inside - we bought two and got a third for our daughter's apartment. Lights need to work when they need to work, period. This light is the bomb and should last for decades. We like to avoid all-in-one devices that include a light and battery charger, and of course, rechargeable batteries in general. Even today's built-in batteries will certainly fail long before the rest of the device has failed. 4 D cell batteries last for huge amounts of time, especially on lower light output, and of course, you can use rechargeable batteries. For emergency purposes these lanterns are amazing. We stuck with the 800 lumen version because it optimizes battery life and provides the light output of a standard 60 watt light bulb. The battery protection feature is fantastic. Buy it and keep a pack of batteries readily available. A perfect lantern in every regard and it is not possible to have a negative experience with it.

I wouldn’t expect any less from Coleman. The lantern is very bright. I don’t know how long it lasts because I haven’t left it on till it died. It’s convenient and bright without gasoline or propane.

Our favorite of all the battery-operated lanterns. We have a dozen of them, in cabins, garages, tool sheds off grid. Controls easy to find in the dark and easy to use (no pressing around the circumference looking for the little on button). Many light options but full on is all we ever want, and it delivers. Hangable. Just everything you need when it IS your source of lighting.

I read the reviews about the battery thing being an issue and thought those people were just doing it wrong. I read the instructions. I followed the picture and placed the batteries as shown. I attempted to attach the cap. I screwed and screwed but it didn’t screw in. I gently pushed down and screwed. No. I checked the instructions again and inspected and pushed harder. I couldn’t get it on. FINALLY, after pushing very hard I got it to halfway latch but not screw on all the way. Now it won’t come off. I can’t get it to screw on and I can’t get it to screw off. And I didn’t do anything horridly hard. I can’t. I’m an old woman. I don’t have the strength to force things too hard. So not only does the stupid lantern not work - now I’ve lost 4 brand new D batteries inside the thing. Why couldn’t Coleman just stick to the old way that worked so well and so easily? This thing is awful. If someone else can make it work I will update. If not, you can assume I threw it all in the trash and will buy something else. Wish I had my old Coleman’s. THOSE were fantastic.
