Really retro cool.....a must buy for the Coleman collector.

I’ve owned many products from Coleman, always been intrigued with the lanterns since my first encounter camping as a youngster with family. Living in Florida most of my life hurricanes have been a constant reminder the need for a reliable light source, always used white gas lanterns as a source of light from the beginning. Fuel is always an issue for long term storage, degradation over time has been a problem for me. Kerosene turned out to be the answer I was looking for. Researching blogs led me to the Coleman kerosene lantern, high quality, stability, economical and reliability that I was looking for. Is it for everyone? Not really, yes it supplies reliable lighting for those fun times camping, ⛺️ but is indispensable during hurricanes. More work to light by adding alcohol to the preheat the generator, but the safety factor being harder to light kerosene over white gas. My first hurricane was Donna 1960, living in the Florida Keys, now at seventy years young Coleman still offers peace of mind I require. Thank you Coleman.

I have a few Coleman lanterns, this is my newest and my favorite. Of the propane,dual fuel,and kerosene,this model is simply the best.

I got my new coleman lantern. latest in a string of Coleman lanterns I have owned. My old one is due for some TLC so I made that an excuse for a new one. Kerosene makes sense since I keep it around for emergency heat. It arrived in one piece so I did the usual setup, filled it and put some alcohol in the cup. These days I live in a small city, so I didn't have a dozen pair of coyote eyes watching. It lit the first time without the theatrics of the gas jobs and settled into the old familiar hiss. I wanted to run it for a couple hours to burn it in. As I sat there in the circle of light I was reminded of other occasions with the comfortable light and that hiss. Ice fishing, deer camp, camping, doing chores around the property in the still of the night. I realized that Coleman lanterns have been a good part of life. I kinda hated to turn it out, but there will be more times. I thought about getting an older one, but I want spares and consumables available for a light I depend on. I won't be without one even now in the city.
