Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of camping lanterns that burn through batteries like nobody's business? Turn to the Coleman rechargeable lantern, which offers up to nine hours of runtime on a single charge. The family-size lantern features an 11-watt fluorescent spiral U-tube bulb that shines brightly regardless of its locale, with a reflector that directs the light upward and outward so more people can enjoy it. Should the bulb burn out, the lantern offers a quick-release lever for easy bulb replacement (an extra tube is included). Most importantly, when the lantern starts to lose power, you can easily recharge the battery via a 120-volt AC outlet or a vehicle's 12-volt DC power port (cords included). That means you can recharge the lantern before leaving on a trip, or you can recharge it at the campsite using your car's lighter port. Other details include an "emergency on" circuit that helps overcome power failures, a built-in nightlight, and a recyclable battery. The lantern--which also runs extremely cool to protect against fires--measures 6.75 by 14 by 8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.78 pounds. About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

I was really going for a no thrills lantern to take me through the power outage after Hurricane Ike hit Houston and I completely lost faith in getting my power back. All I could do was read... candles are awful for the eyes; reading lights can get cumbersome as you constantly have to adjust their aim. So I figured it's time to get a lantern.
It didn't take too long to get hooked on the "retro" appeal of this lantern. The light emitted is bright enough for anyone in the room to enjoy reading in the darkness of a power outage - or in a tent for that matter. Although there are two output settings, Hi and Low, they are close enough to the point that you won't really need to set it on Hi. It lasts for hours as advertised and the night light is a neat little feature.
My only issue with this model is that the charging takes several hours and there is no "battery meter" to know how much you have left. I would basically use it at home for a couple of nights in a row, then charge it in the office on the third day - so I know an 8 hour charge will definitely last at least 8 hours.
Now that the power is back, I kept the lantern on display in my living room as it certainly looks appealing.
By the way, if you do buy it, and I recommend you do, the 12volt charger is tucked in the battery compartment (from the bottom). So don't freak out when you open the box and can't find it.

This is a very cool lantern. It charges via AC or DC. Since I have solar panels on my trailer, this is a perfect match.
Incredible value for such a useful product! October 18, 2008

Two things sold me on my choice for this lantern: the Coleman name and reputation that I've come to rely on since the mid 1960s and the fact that it was 'shipped and sold by Amazon.com', another name and reputation that I've relied on heavily over the years...have never been disappointed by either.
My purchase of the original lantern (I now own three) was largely based on the need for a quality lantern for power outages in my area. I'm elderly and disabled and the last power outage we had earlier this year resulted in my injuring my ankle from stumbling in the dark getting my flashlight. That minor bump turned into a major leg infection that has severely limited my mobility this year.
Decided I would get a dependable lantern that I could set up in my apartment to come on automatically in the event of another outage. This lantern provides more than enough light for me and with the 'night light' feature, I can easily navigate if I leave it on when I retire at night. The low setting on the lamp easily provides enough light to read by and walk around safely just about anywhere in my apartment. I liked the lantern so much that I bought two more of them, one goes in my kitchen and the other serves as a backup in the event of a prolonged outage. Great product...easily performs as advertised!
Cute, sturdy, love it! October 15, 2008

Bright red makes this electric lantern just as cheerful as a gas-powered lamp, despite its cold fluorescent bulb. I feel this is much safer for my family than anything with a flame. Has three positions: high, low, and night light, which includes a yellow bug light.
