Summary: Excellent Function and Form
Comment: I was really going for a no thrills lantern to take me through the power outage after Hurricane Ike hit Houston and I completely lost faith in getting my power back. All I could do was read... candles are awful for the eyes; reading lights can get cumbersome as you constantly have to adjust their aim. So I figured it's time to get a lantern.
It didn't take too long to get hooked on the "retro" appeal of this lantern. The light emitted is bright enough for anyone in the room to enjoy reading in the darkness of a power outage - or in a tent for that matter. Although there are two output settings, Hi and Low, they are close enough to the point that you won't really need to set it on Hi. It lasts for hours as advertised and the night light is a neat little feature.
My only issue with this model is that the charging takes several hours and there is no "battery meter" to know how much you have left. I would basically use it at home for a couple of nights in a row, then charge it in the office on the third day - so I know an 8 hour charge will definitely last at least 8 hours.
Now that the power is back, I kept the lantern on display in my living room as it certainly looks appealing.
By the way, if you do buy it, and I recommend you do, the 12volt charger is tucked in the battery compartment (from the bottom). So don't freak out when you open the box and can't find it.

Comment: This is a very cool lantern. It charges via AC or DC. Since I have solar panels on my trailer, this is a perfect match.

Summary: Incredible value for such a useful product!
Comment: Two things sold me on my choice for this lantern: the Coleman name and reputation that I've come to rely on since the mid 1960s and the fact that it was 'shipped and sold by Amazon.com', another name and reputation that I've relied on heavily over the years...have never been disappointed by either.
My purchase of the original lantern (I now own three) was largely based on the need for a quality lantern for power outages in my area. I'm elderly and disabled and the last power outage we had earlier this year resulted in my injuring my ankle from stumbling in the dark getting my flashlight. That minor bump turned into a major leg infection that has severely limited my mobility this year.
Decided I would get a dependable lantern that I could set up in my apartment to come on automatically in the event of another outage. This lantern provides more than enough light for me and with the 'night light' feature, I can easily navigate if I leave it on when I retire at night. The low setting on the lamp easily provides enough light to read by and walk around safely just about anywhere in my apartment. I liked the lantern so much that I bought two more of them, one goes in my kitchen and the other serves as a backup in the event of a prolonged outage. Great product...easily performs as advertised!

Summary: Cute, sturdy, love it!
Comment: Bright red makes this electric lantern just as cheerful as a gas-powered lamp, despite its cold fluorescent bulb. I feel this is much safer for my family than anything with a flame. Has three positions: high, low, and night light, which includes a yellow bug light.

Summary: a bright light in the night
Comment: THis lantern is fantastic. We looked at many different lanterns and for the price, the quality of this product is amazing. It is sturdy and the charge lasts. Love the night light feature. This is all we need for a perfectly lit camping trip.

Don't sit in the dark when you can light up your world. The Coleman 5312-750 Retro Rechargeable Battery-powered Lantern is a full-size, hip solution to illuminate your camp site. The 11-watt fluorescent spiral U-tube provides a bright white light, yet remains cool to the touch. The Retro lantern is powered by a rechargeable battery that you can recharge from a 120-volt AC outlet or 12-volt DC port (12-volt adapter included) and one charge will run your family-size lantern up to nine hours. The reflector directs light upward and outward providing more efficient lighting. In addition, this lantern has its own built-in night light. This lantern also features an emergency-on circuit that activates during power outages. When it's time to replace the bulb, it's easy with the handy quick-release lever.
