3.0 out of 5 stars Good lantern but questionable case, September 30, 2007

I bought this lantern because it was small and I like the bright light these lanterns throw, and the coleman hiss for nostalgic reasons. The size difference between this and the larger dual fuel one wasn't clear to me, so I ordered that by mistake first, and returned it at small cost. I like the idea of a case to protect it, anyway.

The first time I used this one, it worked fine. It doesn't throw a blinding light, but a fully satisfying one -- good for its size, I'm not disappointed. Packing it out in the case was the problem; it worked well to the car, but back to the house the bottom fell out, the lantern dropped and broke both the glass and the mantels. I think the sides of the plastic case got compressed in the car packing and that's all it takes to release the base. I'll replace the parts at unknown cost and I'll think twice before I carry it again.

Great Lantern, had it up and running within 10min of it arriving. Only negative is the case has a real flimsy locking mechanism. Every time I carry it in the case I feel like I'm just waiting for the bottom to fall out. I think it's made more to protect the lantern in storage then for actually carrying it around, despite the handle.

I have been using battery operated lanterns for years and hate spending lots of money and using very toxic batteries in the wilderness, so this is a great alternative with cheap energy source (gasoline).
