Score: 82/100
Etekcity LED Camping Lantern
Score: 72/100Rankings
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 Etekcity Camping Lantern is a compact, collapsible LED lantern powered by AA batteries, designed for portability and emergency use. Its main trade-off is lower maximum brightness compared to rechargeable models and the ongoing cost of disposable batteries. It is best suited for casual campers and hikers who prioritize lightweight gear over high-output illumination.
