LED Lantern Brightness and quality
I am considering buying a couple of the new LED Lanterns and am curious as to what everyone feels is the best bang for the buck in terms of brightness and quality

I've got a couple Coleman Propane lanterns I'll pull out when we have a big group or a double site and need to light up a large area but for the times it's just my family and a friend (3-4 people), I use the above.
They are USB rechargable, last me about 4 hours, have magnetic mounts and carabiner clips (which fit perfectly on my pop up canopy and can therefore be aimed). They also stick well to the arms of my manual canopy on the trailer giving us enough light but not blinding anyone.
A couple of these and a couple Mag-light flashlights take care of us unless we have after dark cornhole tourneys going, then the colemans come out.
I'm on my 4th season with the first two I bought and bought 3 additional last year just to have some extras for friends that join us and tent camp. They work wonderful for the inside of a tent and 1 lights up a 14x14 tent well.
They also have 3 settings (Low, Med, high) and an emergency flashing strobe.
If the price on the first one scares you off, they have one that is slightly less bright (150 vs. 180 lumens) for under $10. This is actually the one I bought first and the most recent order was the brighter ones.
