Title: Great Lantern while it lasted which wasn't long
Product review: This lantern is NOT weather resistant, whatever the product description might say. I left it out in a not very-heavy rain overnight. The next night, the light wouldn't turn on and I gave up. A couple of days later I opened the base and found that the base was full of water and the batteries and copper contact points had corroded. One of the copper points broke off, rendering the lantern useless. I called Coleman support to request a replacement base -- because the only thing wrong is one broken contact -- and was told they had discontinued that part. So, my only option is to throw the lantern away and buy a new one. I can promise that the replacement won't be a Coleman lantern.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
