Coleman's LED Lantern names are confusing.

This one that Altrec is selling is Coleman's "High Performance" Twin LED Lantern.

Coleman's "High Performance" Twin LED Lantern has a max output of 580 lumens.
This has the CREE LED bulbs that you will find in higher output LED flashlights and lamps/lanterns.

In contrast, Coleman's Twin LED Lantern (without the "high performance") only has a max output of 390 lumens.

Thus, Coleman's "High Performance" Twin LED Lantern can provide a higher light output for the added costs.

Having only used this momentarily, it seems to work well.
I will know better when I take it camping soon.

One obvious advantage LED lanterns have over gas lanterns is that you can bring the LED lantern right into your tent without worry of a fire.
The disadvantage is in the light output (which seems to be getting better all the time) and the higher costs of batteries versus the lower cost of white fuel ($4/gallon unleaded).
However, LED lanterns may be lower maintenance as there is never a mantel to replace. Also D size batteries may be easier to find in your corner grocery store than fuel for the lantern.

Amazon has gotten the stats for this lantern wrong. See the 8D Twin LED Lantern - High Performance lantern at the Coleman website.

I bought four of these colemen lantern for camping.Each of my children will get one for their camping. It will be great besause it adjusts for the amount of light u want. It will be great inside the house and tents. I also like the colemen Led flashlight.
