Score: 82/100
MalloMe 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 MalloMe LED Camping Lantern Flashlights Pack is a collapsible, portable lighting solution featuring COB technology for wide-area illumination up to 350 lumens. While it offers great brightness and portability, it relies on disposable AA batteries which can lead to rapid drain. It is best suited for casual campers and emergency preppers needing affordable, portable area lighting.
