Coleman 700L LED Lantern with 4D Battery, Water & Impact-Resistant Lantern with Carry Handle, Lifetime LED Lights Never Need Replacing

Summary: I'm a big fan of this lantern and very glad I made this purchase. 5 stars for the quality of its light (warm/white), its ruggedness and its stated ability to last 70 hours on one set of batteries. Details: I was in the market for emergency light sources so a few weeks back I ordered 3 different types of camping / emergency lanterns. When I saw this Coleman at the price of $17.79 I thought it could be an amazing bargain. My experience with the Coleman brand name has been very good over the years. However, I was a bit put off by the description of it as being rated at 400 lumens as other lanterns were rating themselves much higher. But based on the Coleman brandname, the fact that this was powered by 4 D batteries and rated to last up to 70 hours on the low setting, I decided to purchase it. I am glad I did. First things first. The batteries (not included) were easy to put in but you do have to pay attention to the orientation of the batteries as indicated under the unit. After the batteries were put in, it worked uneventfully at both the low and high settings. It puts out a nice warm/white light that I find very non-harsh and comforting. It is a little less bright than another lantern I ordered at the same time but not subjectively meaningfully so. I like the quality of the light a lot. If this quality of light can actually last 70 hours as stated (and I have no reason to doubt it at this point), I will be very impressed. This light seems well built and rugged. Of all the lights I have purchased, for sure, this is the one that I would take out in a driving rain or snowstorm. I feel in an outage situation, I might first start with one of the other lanterns I bought, but I would use them to find where I stored this one and then use this one as my go-to lighting for the remainder of the outage feeling comfortable the 4 D batteries would drive the light source for a long duration. So pros: works as expected, fairly easy to put in the batteries but pay attention to orientation, appears rugged and well-built and gives off a very nice color and non-harsh light. Cons: A little less bright than other lights I just bought. Also 4 D batteries makes this heavy in comparison to other lanterns so may not be the best choice to take with you on a short camping trip if you are carrying your light source in a backpack. So 5 stars from me for this product. I recommend anyone reading this click on my profile to read my review of the 2 other types of lanterns I purchased at the same time. They each have their advantages and disadvantages when being compared to one another. I am nonetheless very happy with this Coleman lamp and would not hesitate to purchase it again. At $17.79 I consider it quite the bargain.

This lantern is terrific. The light is helpful and easy to hold and batteries are easily accessible. Will purchase again.

This is like nostalgia from the older Coleman lanterns, except in plastic form. It's rather hefty and durable too. The 400L is plenty bright and actually shocked us how well it lit up the camp area. We like the idea of carrying around a few batteries over any type of fuel. We have had no problems with battery compartment. Fun and useful.

Very good lantern for the money. It’s bright and efficient.

It is overall a good product. The only downside, if you have arthritis in your hands it is a little awkward screwing on the bottom plate on with the batteries in.

Coleman battery light - I purchased 4 - two with USB ports to charge stuff and two for our survival kit. After this latest storm and being without power for 2 days - these lanterns are so helpful. They run a very long time. Has a switch that is bright and brighter. Safer than candle and more useful frankly. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including over 24,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

Very good lantern to use whenever electricity goes out. Light weight and easy to carry around. Gives great light!

Very good product with excellent functionality.

Works great. I replaced my old version that was 20 years old. The new one is smaller and brighter.

El producto da muy buena iluminación, no viene con el cargador como dice el anuncio, ese hay que comprarlo por separado (amazon debería quitar esa característica). Es un poco pesada (1 o 1.5 kg)

Muy buena lámpara, el único inconveniente es que en las características se entiende que viene con la pila recargable y no es así, prepárate para comprar 4 PILAS TAMAÑO D que tienen un costo aproximado de $110.00 el par. Pero la calidad es buena y el tamaño es muy aceptable, la lista es brillante en cualquiera de los modos!

Excelente produto recomendo .

perfect, Coleman product, best of the best, thank you
