Product Description
Red, Full Size Retro Rechargeable Lantern, Either 12V Or 110V Outlet, Both Cords Included, Emergency On Circuit For Power Failure, Built In Nightlight, Heavy Duty Construction, Unique Quick Release Bulb System, Fluorescent Tube Keeps Lantern Running Cool.

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.

5 out of 5 stars pleasantly pleased   January 6, 2009
Marcia Peterson
I was very pleased with the quality of this product. I gave my husband and married children the lantern as part of their Christmas. After the hurricane force winds in Ohio last fall which caused eight days without power I wanted all of us to be prepared the next time. The thing they all liked was that this lantern can be recharged in your car. The light is quite bright and comes with an extra bulb. The battery is also recyclable which makes our "green" children quite pleased. I would recommend it!


5 out of 5 stars GREAT!!!   December 17, 2008
M. Norman (Freehold, NJ)
This is the second lantern we have purchased, this one was a gift. Great for when the power goes out, even has a night light No one realizes how DARK it can get until a power loss, and this is like having an oasis of light. No worries about having a tons of batteries on hand, you just plug it in to recharge for the next time.


1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!   December 4, 2008

This is the second lantern that has failed. The first would not hold a charge. The second one died after 20 minutes. If you are thinking about buying this one, do a search on Amazon and see the other "Retro" listing (same product) with negative reviews. Very very disappointed.


5 out of 5 stars Coleman rechargeable family size lantern   December 3, 2008
William Crans (New Paltz, NY United States)
Bought this lantern for power failures. Have only had it a month but very satisfied with it. Gives out a good amount of light even to read a newspaper. It's a heavy lantern but that's not a problem. Think it's perfect for what I bought it for.
