Coleman Classic 800L
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Coleman 1000L Deluxe Propane Lantern is a high-output gas lantern designed for outdoor camping, delivering up to 1000 lumens with PerfectFlow technology. The main trade-off is the need for manual match-lighting and fragile mantles compared to instant-ignition LED models. It is best suited for car campers and group sites needing bright, area-flooding light without recharging batteries.
The Coleman Classic Rechargeable 800L LED Lantern is a rechargeable camping lantern featuring up to 800 lumens of brightness and a 4800 mAh lithium-ion battery that supports device charging. Its main trade-off is the non-replaceable internal battery, which limits long-term sustainability compared to battery-swappable models. It is best suited for campers needing reliable area lighting and emergency device charging.
