Title: Smaller size, lighter weight, plenty of light
Product review: I bought this to reduce the size of our car camping gear. It's great. Plenty bright, but packs much smaller than the full size lantern. We rarely turn it up all the way, it's too bright. The full size lantern is now left at home and may soon end up on Craigslist. This is a great improvement over the older style, full size lanterns and the one to get. If you are car camping, two of these are better than one full size lantern. I wouldn't backpack with it, but I guess some people do. They pack in 1lb. propane bottles? I'm not a big guy so for me, every ounce counts. For backpacking I usually just use my headlamp, but I sometimes bring the Snow Peak GigaPower Lantern, especially if we're in a fire ban area. It uses the same fuel as the Snow Peak Gigapower Stove. That Snow Peak Stove, Lantern and Fuel together weigh less than this. The Snow Peak gear lives in my pack. This Coleman lantern lives in my car camping gear.
