Product Description

Amazon.com
The lantern was recognized by CampingLife as one of 2010's best outdoor products.As tough as it is versatile, the popular Coleman 4D XPS LED Duo Lantern operates as either a single lantern with twelve five-millimeter white LEDs, shining at 95 lumens of light, or you can also split the two rechargeable panels apart for two separate lights at 48 lumens each. Each panel has an individual on/off switch, and a foldout foot enabling it to stand on its own.
The 47.1-ounce lantern measures 6.5-by-10.5 inches (W x H) fully assembled, and shines a ten-meter beam for up to 75 hours on a set of four D batteries (not included). The panels hold their charge away from the base for approximately 90 minutes while shining to eight meters. The Duo is Coleman XPS-compatible, meaning you can use it with an interchangeable, rechargeable six-volt battery pack (sold separately), and its rugged polycarbonate lenses stand up to heavy use.

About Coleman Outdoor ProductsMore than 100 years ago, an entrepreneurial young man named W.C. Coleman had an idea for manufacturing better lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. A century later, Coleman's current catalog features a wide-ranging array of products that make spending time outside a pleasure. The company crafts coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days, airbeds that are comfortable and won't deflate during the night, a complete line of bright and long-lasting LED lights, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and more.
Tough and versatile, the Coleman 4D XPS LED Duo Lantern can operate as a single lantern with twelve 5-mm white LEDs, shedding 95 lumens of light -- or separate the two rechargeable panels, for two separate lights shedding 48 lumens of light each. Return the panels to the lantern base and they automatically recharge! The Lantern will run for up to 75 hours on a set of 4 D batteries (not included); the panels will hold their charge away from the base for 1.5 hours. The Duo Lantern is Coleman XPS-compatible: you can use the interchangeable, rechargeable 6V battery pack, sold separately. The LED Duo Lantern features wide handle openings to accommodate work gloves, and tough polycarbonate lenses, to withstand heavy use.

Customer Reviews

After the big earthquake I had been searching a trustworthy lantern and could find one here in Amazon.I ordered two lanterns and they arrived in Japan only a week.
I like this colour,shape and usability. We have no power failure now but sometimes enjoy lighting this lantern during the night.
I think it's better this is as bright as QUAD Lantern.
I'm sorry I'm bad at English.

I purchased this light with the intention of using the CPX6 battery pack. I likely would have bought the 4 panel lantern if not for the XPS capability of this one. Anyway, I am not thrilled with this funtionality. I got about 4 hours of full brightness out of this lantern with the CPX6 pack. At 6 hours I am right at half brightness and it is going downhill fast. BTW, half brightness is just about useless.
I followed directions completely for charging. I unboxed the XPS battery and immediately plugged it in for 16 hours of charging (as recommended). I thought 16 hours was kind of outrageous but I did it. The CPX6 pack is supposed to replace 4 D cell batteries. I am now curious what people are getting out of Ds. I guess I will try that at some point. The directions for the XPS does say to cycle the battery fully for the first three charge cycles. If the life of the battery increases dramatically during this period, I will update my review but I am not holding my breath.
Either way, if the CPX6 battery pack gets such lackluster performance in comparison to D batteries on this lantern, they should certainly list that with their runtime estimates. Seriously, I am supposed to charge this in my car every day to get 3-4 hours of good use out of it? Ugh.
