Coleman1000L LED Lantern with Enhanced Battery Protection, Water-Resistant, Batteries Last up to 25% Longer Than Other Lanterns

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.

This lantern has a nice feel to it, not too heavy, but sturdy. It has been criticized for not having clear directions for installing batteries and for screwing the bottom panel into place. Although forewarned, I was surprised that anyone would have difficulty. The battery labels were obvious and the shape of the tube in the bottom panel would seem to prevent incorrectly inserting it. Maybe some of the previous concerns stated had encouraged manufacturer’s modifications. The light emitted on the highest level seemed pleasant…not glaring or room filling, but enough to allow moving around safely and much better than a flashlight or candles. For my home use, I am quite pleased with it.

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.

Was delighted that I purchased these before hurricane season hit us. So I put batteries in and couldn’t wait to see how well it worked. The thing jammed and I could not get it in position, could not take batteries out, could not get a light.i called Kohlman what a nasty joke! First a female rep told push this, twist that, press this and it made no sense that these directions would solve the jam up. After 15 min . Of this she told me I needed to get some in the house who is stronger than me to do it. I hit the ceiling ! I am a female, 5’8” , I do everything a household requires myself because I can - I am hulk strong! So I hung up and turned to google for a hint. There before my eyes story after story about this product expresssing the exact same experience. I returned the lanterns . However the brand new 4D Duracells went with it because they could not be removed unless I wanted to smash it. I called Amazon. Thankyou Amazon for your help with this product and for compensating me for the batteries I lost to the product. No kohlman products for me ever again.

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.

Excellent lamp, very bright and nice size.

Battery cover is impossible to screw on since the batteries do not go all the way in. Trying to push the batteries in and screwing on the bottom might work for hulk Hogan, but not me. Couldn't get the battery cover on. Will be returning. I thought this would be good quality since it's a Coleman but it's not. Just a hunk of plastic. Not sure how anyone would be able to replace batteries in a power outage. Terrible design.
