Coleman Rugged Rechargeable 400L LED Lantern

Review is for Coleman 400 lumen red lantern with CPX 6 battery (either 4 “D” cells or rechargeable battery). I like the amount of light suites two people nicely. No need for 700 lumens. And better than 190 lumens. Still like color red compared with green. Lightweight and relatively small. Love it!

I received the Lantern and charged it immediately. There's a helpful LED, that indicates if the battery is "Charging" or "Ready". Then I let the lantern sit idle for two weeks, to see if there was any leakage from the battery.. Then I started my test, to see how long the battery would be functional on the 'low' setting. (on the 'low' setting, you can move around within a kitchen). I tested as if the lantern was used in a 'no power' situation of 2 hours on, 4 off, 3 on, etc -- for 4 consecutive days. The battery kept the same 'workable' wattage for 24½ hours - with only the first initial charge. To top off this well thought up, useful lantern, if you have a USB plug within your car, you can charge the lantern battery, there.,
