Coleman LED Quad Lantern - Shine a Light on your Camping Experience!

Four lights in one! "Sweet" I have been using various lighting over the years when out camping or just sitting on the balcony enjoying the evening breeze, my pile of lights are stocking up a little as I seem to seek the perfect one! Maybe it's just me, being a gadget guy but I have to try things out, especially if they come at a nice price. Apart from that, my complex seems to have power failures at least two or three times a year. This lantern is not that expensive and looking into reviews, comments and feedback from friends who camp a lot more than I do and have one of these, I am liking what I hear! At present I am borrowing one, testing out on the balcony and it's doing a fairly decent job. I separate individual lights and strategically place them around the area and you get a fair result, keeping them all together in one place provides lighting up to approx 20 feet! It's a sweet deal and nice to have one handy, when will I make the purchase, hmmm I guess if or when my friend asks for his to be returned.
