Coleman 1000L Deluxe
Score: 82/100
Coleman Quad Panel
Score: 78/100Rankings
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 Quad Pro 800L is a versatile camping light featuring four detachable, rechargeable magnetic panels that convert one lantern into five lights. While it offers high brightness and innovative mounting options, the individual panels have a short runtime on high settings and the base requires separate D batteries. It is best suited for campers needing multi-zone illumination and hands-free lighting solutions.
