Lanterns For Camping

Product Review

I have a 20-year-old Coleman "white gas" lantern but it is now so old that I'm afraid to bring it in the home. I by no means did like bringing it inside anyway, the gas is under pressure and even though it put out a great deal of light, it is almost certainly better suited for outdoor use. So I figured with modern day LED technologies that there had to be a great replacement. I looked at several Coleman LED lanterns and also the CPX6 seemed to have the very best light output (200 lumens on high) with the very best battery life (claimed 155 hours on low on one set of D cells). That's a whole lot a lot more light and about 10 occasions a lot more life than the AA-cell Coleman lanterns I identified. The CPX6 isn't genuinely a backpack lightweight kind, but it is tiny enough to shop in the kitchen or closet. It seems well made (plastic) and it truly does put out concerning the identical quantity of light as the modest gas lantern I have -- but much safer. The light is even and goes out all 4 sides of the lantern. (Read More...)
