I want one but mine refuses to die!
I am writing this review because a friend has this lantern and I have used it. I want one of the newfangled dual-fuel lanterns but my current Coleman fuel lantern, which I have had for about 40 years, simply refuses to die! In all the time I have owned it, the only repairs have been: one pump kit, one glass and hundreds of mantles. It is easy to light, easy to use and is rugged & durable as, well, you know. It is not for mountaineering (heavy/bulky) but excellent for camping or emergency light when the electricity goes away. Just get one. See also my review of the Coleman dual-fuel 2-burner camp stove (it says the same things).
Great output
This lantern puts out a ton of light. Before using this though, I was used to battery powered ones so getting it going for the first time was a bit frustrating (the problem with the 1st run was that we had the mantles tied on too high and didn't pre-burned them enough before enclosing them). After re-interpreting the instructions and starting the lantern properly, it burned brightly and for the entire night on less then one fill of fuel. We don't use this inside or next to the tent and think we'll stick to the LED lanterns for that. For lighting large areas though, this will be coming with us for all of our car camping trips. -get the carrying case; it's worth the couple extra bucks
Worth the money
This lantern is worth the money if you want the option of dual fuel. I used this on two hunting trips. Once in eastern Montana in cold weather for a 4 day trip. This was our only lantern and it served us well. It produces plenty of light and was fairly quiet. Although it was hard to hear over the Montana winds hitting our tent. Additionally I have used it on a coastal Washington elk hunt for 4 days. it performed flawlessly. Other than that I have used it on two car camping trips with the family as well. The adjustments to the light output were fine. I did not have any problem with low light adjustments which I had read about. There is a lot of burn time with the fuel tank full. It appears Coleman is still making this product right.
Great lantern
i've used this lantern for standard car/tent camping for over three years. it functions exactly as i'd hoped and expected. it burns bright, only needs occasional pumping over the course of a full evening's use. brighter than the propane version. the only note would be the filling, if you choose to go with this (over the propane version). with the standard funnel it can be tough to gauge, which leaves you with fuel leaking on the lantern. not that big a deal, but i think you would want to buy the filler cap (Coleman Fuel Filler Model No.3000000928) which fits coleman cans. basically it has reduced this process to zero spill, it stops when the tank is full so there's no guessing. the only other piece of decision making information would be, consider if you're going to also have a coleman stove. you'll want to make sure you've considered both as you'll want a common fuel source.
Mantles are inexpensive and last forever. Puts out tremendous light that outlasts the night if necessary. Get the carrying case, protects it during travel. Been using coleman lanterns for 40 years now, my first was my dad's that he found on the bottom of the ocean 40 years ago (snorkeling) , cleaned the barnacles off of it and it is still going today. Just unbelievable. We have battery lanterns but their reliability (batteries are finite - - not always rechargable) is always suspect. I always know have much fuel I have in the lantern. Go liquid fuel coleman lantern and you'll probably have it for life.
Women love this product too!
I am writing this to counter one of the reviews that seem to suggest this is not a product “good for a woman” because the reviewer apparently had issues with this.I am a woman and seemingly the only one of my mixed camp group who has bothered to figure out how to use these great liquid fuel Coleman products, the lantern and the cook stove. Yes it takes a little bit of easy learning to get it right but it’s like driving a stick shift or a bicycle. I love the fact that there are no propane canisters to dispose of and the fuel is readily available and inexpensive. The light on this unit is fantastic, it keeps a picnic table of card players and wine drinkers happy for a long evening. Agree with the recommendation to buy the carrying case and I purchased a strap from REI to keep it secure. With care this can last you a lifetime. Worth every penny.
Delivered damaged; immediatly replaced!
I have had one of these since 1992 (Peak 1 model) that I have used for hunting trips and camping. It starts without fail. I just pulled it from the garage, changed the mantel and lite it after 3 years of storage. I just purchased this full size one for a new hunting camp in Maine. All my Coleman products have lasted for years I am certain this new lamp will be in the camp for years to come. Buy and keep extra mantels and you wont need them! Dont and you will wish you had!
The gold standard in lanterns!
The gold standard of camp lanterns. Reliable as they were 25 years ago. Plenty of light for around camp. FYI...correctly preparing the mantles and properly storing the lantern during travel to prevent too much jostling will protect the fragile mantles from having to be replaced as often. They will however need replaced with heavy use, so keep extras on hand. Although "duel fuel" I suggest using white (Coleman) gas only for efficiency.
So bright it was shocking!
Very bright and powerful! I would say can light up a 10 foot radius no problem. After first use it is easy to use and to light. I suggest getting a lantern pole then it was able to light up almost our entire camping area (since it is off the ground and higher in air). It maybe a DUEL FUEL but use WHITE GAS otherwise the generator tends to go over time (1-3yrs). White gas burns very clean and the funnel provided has a small white filter which helps clean out the fuel too. Hope this helps.
Dependable Longevity
The Coleman fuel-powered lantern may just be the last evidence we have of a time when products were built to last and always worked when you needed them to. I don't even pack LED lanterns much anymore; usually a headlamp and flashlight but sometimes I just want to feel the heat and enjoy the hiss. Light up this lantern and it's 1960 again.
