Coast  EAL50R Rechargeable Lantern

Received it very quickly , it was also packaged very well. Light its self is very bright on the white light setting , I really like the lower light setting as well. The ability to recharge a phone using the power bank seems very useful as long as I don’t need the light. Having an adjustable dimmer is pretty good. As well as have the option to put in regular batteries , Now we have to move on to the things I’m not fond of the cord that tucks in the bottom gets in the way of screwing the bottom battery and cord storage door on and then is hard to get ahold of to unscrew. The clip latch on the top of it seems like it could be beefed up some. The rubber cover on the back that covers the usb c ports could be a bit heavier duty , and it should have a usb B as well so it is more versatile when is comes to cords that could be plugged in. I would buy it again , and I would Recommend it for my camping friends , over all it’s a strong ,study, bright light

Hands down best lantern I've ever owned. Most definitely recommended to anybody. You could not go wrong buying this light.

Whoever designed this lantern is a true camper. The two light modes are great, though we never use the bright white. The ability to turn off the area shining towards you and direct that super bright light only in front of you is genius! Love that it doubles as an OOPS I forgot to charge my phone battery bank as well. Lastly, the battery life is forever. I accidentally left it on over night and in the morning it was still shining and the battery was good for another night at camp. What more could you ask for?

My experience after 18 months is it's a great camping lantern. The rechargeable feature is great.Just make sure it's fully charged before taking off. Don't assume that it's fully charged because you charged it up 2 months ago- you will be sorry. I don't like it as an emergency light for that reason because the batteries will go dead unless you periodically charge the lantern. I have several rechargeable flashlights, mainly Fenix and they don't drain nearly as fast as the Coast lantern.

I got this product this week and it is perfect. It’s great for working outside or in dimly light environments. The features are fantastic, the USB-C in/out port is very useful for charging devices while working out in the woods all day. The life on the battery is amazing it will last for hours on full light mode. The red light mode is a nice feature I will be using it in my hunting blinds this fall in the mornings to get everything together in the dark. Plus with coast you have the lifetime warranty and it’s IP54 water-resistant and dust-resistant. The only thing I didn’t love was the charging cord doesn’t fit great where it is supposed to be stored on the bottom of the lantern making it hard to screw the bottom back on.

Seems ok so far. They don't sell the add on battery and the power bank function is a joke it outputs soo little power my usb tester cant even test it. Charges my phone about 200ma so don't plan on using this to power anything. The adjustable output slider is a little odd at times sometimes not going all the way to the end and other times it does, maybe just needs broken in?

Well it is certainly bright enough. The adjustable brightness is a plus. I like the ability to add mote batteries for increased run time. The internal battery is quick to charge up and lasts a fairly long time at max brightness. The charge cord is just fine and tucks in on the top neatly. The ability to use half light or full....with color options is a plus. Hangs sturdy. I would highly recommend this product. It will serve well in camping or any other application... good job by coast in creating a well made product.

Why do you ask for a review just a day or two after purchase? It's ridiculous. Maybe wait a few months so that I actually know whether it works and stands up to some use.

Very impressed with the quality. I wish they put another charge cord with a usb connection.

After charging prior to use, still couldn't get the lantern to function.
