3.0 out of 5 stars Bright, but how long will it last?, March 18, 2010

This review is from: Coleman 4D XPS Personal-Size LED Lantern (Sports)

I ordered two of these lanterns for use during power outages. I opened the first one, inserted batteries and turned the unit on. It is bright and is best suited for placing higher up and letting the light diffuse downward. The one thing I noticed was that the switch seemed cheap and poorly made. In particular after rotating on and off a few times the light would flicker as I had to find the sweet spot for each of the settings on the lantern. At first, I thought it could have been a defective unit, however I took the second one out of the box and it did the exact same thing. This is not something I considered worthy of returning the items for. It worked in each of the settings, but just took a little wiggling of the switch to get it right and is something worth noting for potential buyers.

Amazon sends the non-XPS version of this LED lantern, meaning it is not compatible with the Coleman 6V rechargeable batter pack and is not as bright. There is a $10 MSRP difference between the two (non-XPS MSRP=24.99, XPS MSRP=34.99); essentially, Amazon is falsely advertising this as the upgraded model and charging customers ~$5 above the MSRP for what they are receiving.

After over 2 months of dealing with Amazon, I've given up on them getting this order right. I exchanged it the first time thinking it was an accidental mix-up. But the 2nd item I received was still the incorrect model. I called and spoke directly with an Amazon representative and explained that Amazon's inventory seemed to be in error. The representative told me they would straighten it out among the supplier (Coleman) and their warehouse (Amazon) and that I would be notified when this is resolved and they would ship out the correct item. Once this was supposedly done, I received my 3rd lantern only to find it was the same incorrect model. I called again and they told me to just return it for refund and seek out another vendor to purchase this product. I'm going to try Buy.com.

Having high esteem for amazon over the years, it was very disappointing to see that they could not fix this problem. For customers who do not read the details of this product, they will continue to receive a lesser product for the money they are charged by Amazon.

I had the same problem as gum on shoe did. I ordered this item, the XPS model but received the standard model that is not compatible with the XPS system. The XPS system comes with a plastic holder that encloses the 4 D batteries to be fitted into the bottom of the lamp or you can install the rechargeable battery instead which fills the cavity the same as the battery holder. Coleman products are among the top performers so I am sure this is a great lamp but I didn't want to go through all the headache the other buyer went through and just returned the lamp immediately. Now I am just waiting the fourteen days to get my money back from Amazon. Pain in the butt!!!!!
