Our portable Coleman battery fluorescent lantern suffered a mishap last month while camping at bullard's beach .We have made the conversion from Maglite flashlights to LED flashlights .There seems to be a quality difference between the LED flashlights . Some good , some much better .Who has purchased a Portable LED Lantern for camping and has found a choice that is better than most ?Is there a good LED lantern that uses 3 or 4 "C cells" or "D cells " ?Where did you find it ?

I have not found an LED lantern online yet that looks like it's worth buying. What I ended up getting was a fluorescent that takes the same rechargeable battery used by my cordless drill, and also portable tire inflator.Just a suggestion for something you could check out - if you own any cordless power tools, see if there's a lantern available that takes the same battery.PORTER-CABLE 13-Watt Fluorescent

I received the Coleman Duo LED Lantern as a gift. I've been happy with it. While it doesn't receive heavy use, when needed, it has served its purpose well.A 4-panel lantern is also sold, but for DW and I, the 2-panel has worked just fine.Hope this helps.

Our old LED lantern bit the dust and I had a gift card for REI so picked up http://www.rei.com/product/861164/ultimate-survival-technologies-30-day-lantern- It uses 3 D size batteries and puts out 300 lumens on high. I am using rechargeable batteries and the charger will be powered by our solar panel.

I have a Coleman LED that comes apart into 4 separate flashlights. Than when your done, you snap them back into place to make one lantern, works great. I used it for the first time back in January at Anastasia SP and will be using it again in May at FW.

Poke around LL Bean. They have a couple of choices. We have one from them and it is outstanding.LL Bean Lanterns...here
