coleman dual fuel lantern

I just got this in mail today.  It is as magnificent in person as it is on the internet.  It arrived inside three boxes and was intact.  I took it out of the box, tied the mantles on, filled the tank with coleman gas, and she dueled the sun for dominance.  This has got to be the coolest lantern on the planet.  We are going on a camping trip real soon for a week. It is nice to know any gasoline will work if white gas isn't available like in emergencies also. Maybe I'll make another review after all the use during the trip to Big Sur.

These lanterns are great for camping and having around in case of electrical failure. They put out plenty of light and are rechargeable. I have 4 of these. Great item.

This is a great lantern. I used it for camping. The light is adjustable and it is light weight. I would recommend it for home use when the lights go out or outdoor use.

I wanted a bright lantern, and this Coleman delivers more light than any other LED lantern I have tried. With that said, it is the same size and nearly the same weight as my Coleman propane lanterns that deliver three times the amount of light. However, I bought this lantern knowing exactly what the light output was, just for the convenience of an instant-on battery powered light. Another factor in my choice for this lantern is that with eight (8) D-cell batteries, it is a 12 volt system. I intend to install a 12 v jack in the base so I can use a coiled 12v extension cord connected to the truck battery system. My propane lanterns will still be used around camp, but this is now the new go-to.

The advantage of this lantern is that is quite small, so easy to carry in a camping setting. Quality is good, but it is difficult to find the type of mantle that this unit uses, so keep a backup if you decide to buy this unit. Shortly after I received this lantern I found a two mantle Coleman with hard carry case for about $10 more which I subsequently purchased. Live and learn. I hope this information is of help to those considering the purchase of this lantern.

For the price, this is one of the best camping lanterns you can buy. The lantern is very small but extremely bright. It was perfect for our 4 person tent during our last camping trip. It's a wonderful product!

Excellent light and lantern, plus a phone/tablet/Usb charger.  Will charge with stored energy, doesn't require it to be in sunlight to charge devices.  Light lasted a very long time on highest power.  Great for emergencies or everyday use.

Nice little lantern.  Very well made, nice and rugged.  Has a good weight balance vs run time (3 D-size batteries in the bottom).  The ability to hang from the top or bottom is a nice touch.

I will likely purchase another couple of these to keep downstairs and in the workshop for emergency lighting (especially if they come up on lightning deal again).

The small AYL lantern has the draw of an old-fashioned Coleman without the bulk. Its got power, enough power so that it can be of real assistance in case of an emergency. We have a fair number of power outages during the winter and some when there are summertime storms. Not all people are enamored with rechargeable lighting or solar for that matter. This does take three 3D size batteries (not included), but with the lifetime of a 3D, should last a season or more. If you don't care for this type of lantern, simply take a pass.

The AYL is a space-saving lantern at only 4 x 4 x 7.2, something that many in condos or apartments can appreciate. Well be using this one in a camp for emergency lighting to have on hand during those heavy summer storms. Theres a small greenish LED light that blips, enabling me to see the lantern in the dark. At first I didn't notice it, a feature that many will like. Its not disruptive, but a big help, preventing that fumble around in the dark event. I do know where my flashlights and other emergency lights are, but I cant always find them quickly in an unexpected power outage.

The bail is metal and its easy to hang or carry. If I remove the globe and flip the lantern upside down, it can be hung by a small plastic hook. If there is any vulnerability with this lantern, its that hook. I find it a bit difficult to pop open (it lies flush in the base) and Im worried Ill break it. When used in this manner, the light spreads out in a wider circle. Perhaps some would like to use this outdoors when camping to light up a tent or small area.

FEATURES:

 State-of-the-art Convex Reflextor Provides Optimal Lighting and Reflection
 Sturdy Rubber and Plastic Molding for Maximum Durability
 Removable Top for Focused Forward Lighting
 Slow Pulse LED Indicator Light Ensures Lantern Can Always Be Located During an Emergency
 Built for Maximum Water Resistance

WARRANTY:

Limited lifetime.

The lantern base and main body of the lantern are rubberized. The pattern on the body is helpful and these features keep it from sliding off a surface and give it a no-slip grip. There are three modes, easily accessed with the touch of a button. Medium high illumination, high, and an emergency flash. This is an excellent, compact emergency / camping light that is well worth the money. The limited lifetime warranty is a real plus.

These lanterns are great.  They are bright.  They are nice and compact for a space saver.  I will be ordering another set for someone who used it on our camping trip and liked them also.

It is a cool and compact little lantern. I have not taken it out on a backpacking trip yet, but it is what i am looking for. Versatile, compact, low in weight, and very bright.

Very nice lantern, it's small so it won't take up much space when you pack for a camping trip. Even though it's small it puts out a lot of light and I'm very happy with this.

I did receive this item at a discount in exchange for a fair review.

This an an excellent small lantern, adequate for lighting a tent. It also quickly converts to a flashlight. It weighs nothing, and doesn't take up space in the pack.

As expected with this price, Lantern is not bright to lighten around but it is enough for camping actually good fit in small size tent. LED color is a kind of sunlight.  three AA batteries are needed for this Lantern and very light lantern. most of all the top side softly can be collapsible up/down for turn on/off lantern.

This is a very small lantern but it is built solidly.  I didn't have any problems installing the batteries.  Just two down and one up and match up the arrows.  It gives off a bright light.  It would light up a small room. The light is also adjustable.  You could read by it or play cards.  If the room is large, I would buy 2.  Since I bought this for an emergency, I am thankful to say that I haven't needed to use it but feel that this is something everyone should have, for camping or an emergency.  Price was fair and the product arrived in just a few days.
