For many RVers, the iconic sound of Coleman gas lanterns will forever
remain a part of their outdoor experiences. For a new generation of
campers, Coleman introduces the next evolution of its recognizable
fire-engine red portable camp lights.
The versatile new Coleman “Quad Lantern” (msrp $69.99)
reinvents that original camp light with battery power, using the high
intensity and power-saving abilities of a long-lasting LED. Six 5 mm
wide-angle LEDs built into four highly polished portable reflector units
provide 190 lumens of 360-degree light. The innovation of removing one
or all of the four lamp panels from the base for use as personal lights
makes this lantern perfect for the kids or walking the dog.
Eight D-cell batteries power the system and add proper ballast
to the otherwise very lightweight housing and recharges each of the NiMH
batteries in the portable units, providing up to 75 hours of lantern
light or up to 1 1/2 hours of light from each portable unit, according
to Coleman. Portable units have their own on-off switch, and a recessed
carrying handle on the base provides safe hanging from a tree or an
awning.
