Coleman 1000L
Score: 88/100
Coast EAL22
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Coleman 1000L LED Lantern is a reliable, battery-powered camping light delivering up to 1000 lumens with unique BatteryGuard technology. Its main trade-off is the bulk and weight of requiring four D-cell batteries rather than a rechargeable system. It is best suited for family campers and emergency backups where long storage life and brightness are prioritized.
The Coast EAL22 is a full-size emergency area lantern designed for portable and versatile lighting, delivering up to 1,250 lumens across five output modes including warm and cool white options. Its main trade-off is the brief high-mode runtime and the potential need to purchase a rechargeable battery separately for optimal convenience. It is best suited for emergency preparedness, professional inspection work, and search and rescue operations.
