An area light and four portable lanterns in one clever unit, the Coleman LED Quad Lantern is a versatile choice for indoors or outdoors. The Quad Lantern’s four removable panels hold 24 LEDs total. Each of the four sections can be removed and carried as a portable light to go to the shower house, tent, or wherever one of your group needs some light. When the sections are returned to the lantern base, they easily reattach and immediately start to recharge as well as illuminate. The Quad Lantern features six 5mm white LEDs in each panel (24 total), shedding 190 lumens of light. The wide-angle LEDs are behind a textured lens for dispersed lighting. Each section also has a handle on top to carry it or hang it. A main on/off switch is located on top of the lantern; each removable section also has its own switch. Powered by eight D-cell batteries (not included) that are housed in the lantern base, the Coleman LED Quad Lantern operates for up to 30 hours. Each of the four panels also contains an included rechargeable NiMH battery that powers the panel while in use away from the base. When docked back into the base station, each panel is recharged from the main D-cell. Each fully-charged panel will run for up to 1.5 hours while separated from the base.
Coleman LED Quad Lantern Reviews
The Best Camping Lantern Out There
I have been a long time believer in only using propane lanterns when car camping. Previous battery operated lanterns with florescent bulbs that I have tried have always lacked for sufficient light to eat by let alone cook or setup a tent with.
But, then I discovered the Coleman LED Quad Lantern and everything has changed. This is, by far, the best camping lantern I have ever used! Not only is super bright, it is smaller and more convenient than a propane lantern – especially since I no longer need to tote around gas canisters.
But, this lantern is more than just a lantern; it provides for personal lighting needs as well. Each of the lantern’s four light panels detach and work as rechargeable hand lamps for that rummage in the back of the truck for gear or the scramble to the bathroom sight in the middle of the night. And, with a 1-1/2 hour charge time, that makes these light panels useful for reading in the tent, etc.
It is not only this lantern’s overall design that make it great, but the attention to little things as well. For example, the rechargeable light panels are powered by standard AA rechargeable batteries. Unlike other rechargeable light systems where the battery is sealed and inaccessible, if a battery eventually fails, it can be easily replaced with a standard, off the shelf rechargeable battery.
No more propane, no more broken mantles, no more trying to light a propane lantern in the dark. The Coleman LED Quad Lantern is the lantern of the future that I bet all competitors will try to copy.
Bright, cool lantern…perfect for the family
Brightness:
When all four panels are attached to the base, the lantern puts out a great deal of light. It will illuminate a campsite with ease. The individual panels when detached put out an adequate amount of light. Great for a trek to the restroom or the back of the truck to fetch some gear.
Portability:
The 8D batteries in the base make the lantern a little heavy. But each panel when removed is extremely light, as they only contain a small rechargeable battery. There are plenty of handles at the top for easy toting.
Battery/power:
I’ve used my lantern several times and have been very pleased with the runtime of the battery. In addition, it seems to take a long time away from the base before the panels go dim.
Summary:
The lantern is expensive compared to other battery lanterns, but it is well worth the money. My family loves it!
