Description

Save money on fuel when you're lighting the way with a Coleman® Kerosene Lantern. It's powered by Coleman® Kerosene, which is out most cost-efficient fuel source. The single-mantle design of this lantern creates a steady, bright glow of up to 700 lumens of light that reaches up to 11 meters away. To get your lantern started, simply add some rubbing alcohol (sold separately) to the primer cup, light the alcohol with a match, then dial in the perfect brightness with the adjustable control knob. Once your lantern is lit, the fuel tank provides a steady base when placed on a table, and the bail handle allows for easy hanging. When you're ready to head home, so is this lantern since it doesn't require any disassembly, which means it's always ready to go with you on your next bright adventure. Sometimes, you just can't beat a classic kerosene lantern to light up your campsite. This model is iconic lantern maker Coleman's brightest such device, offering high- intensity light output with the included 11 mantles. It provides up to 5.5 hours of burn time on one two-pint kerosene tank, and -- thanks to an easy-to- operate, single-knob control -- it's as intuitive to use as it is durable. The fuel tank is coated on the interior to hold up to repeated use, and a "porcelain-ized" ventilator resists rust. Includes an automatic tip cleaner. The Coleman Limited Warranty All Coleman products have a warranty against defects in material and workmanship, and details are included with your purchase. About Coleman Outdoor Products More 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.

  • Great product if you understand how it works
Style: Lantern
If you have been around the Coleman Gasoline lanterns, than this product will be an easy transition. I chose this over the white gas lantern due to my perception of safety (using kerosene vs. gasoline), and the ready availability/low cost of kerosene vs. the coleman white gas fuel. The only downside of this unit vs the traditional Coleman gas is the kerosene version requires a pre-burn of alcohol to heat the vapor tube and warm the mantle. This is very simple, once you are set up for it, but it does add a requirement and the necessity to carry the small alcohol squirt bottle they provide to prime fill the pre-burn cup. Once warm, the unit fires right up on it's kerosene fuel. She burns very bright, with virtually no odor. If I was choosing between propane, gas, or Kerosene, I would choose this; although they all have their pros and cons. I won't go to comparisons between the three, as there are tons of other reviews to provide this. We all understand an LED battery lantern is the quickest to set up and transport, this is a totally different product that should be supplemented by battery lights with your camping gear. If purchasing this, definitely get the Coleman carrying case. It's the way to go. Somewhat pricey for a plastic box, but it makes the experience better. You will need a small can of denatured alcohol and some wooden matches, or an extension wire for a paper match to light the pre-burn cup through the globe. I enjoy mine so much I light it on our patio table at night, while grilling; despite having plenty of outdoor lights at my house. It provides a great atmosphere. It's like comparing a wood stove to an electric heater. They both accomplish warms, but the atmosphere is completely different. ... show more

  • Great Lantern, poor packaging
Style: Lantern
I just can't praise this lantern enough, Coleman fuel 10 a gallon, kerosene is 4 a gallon. I ordered 2 and they came in one large box together, no packing material on bottom of large box = one shattered globe. Amazon customer service quickly satisfied me but it is still very frustrating to open a box and hear that broken glass sound, just real frustrating. I was going to order several more but now I don't think I will I'm a little gun shy right now. We live in a rural area and I use them for the barns, just real bright, painfully bright, easy to light. Denatured alcohol or in a pinch I've used rubbing alcohol in the preheat cup. I have never had an issue with lighting these, there is an extra step with the preheat cup but as I mentioned the cost of kerosene over Coleman fuel is hard to ignore. I will end up buying several more of these to light our camp site up and for our out buildings, I just may not order through amazon due to lack of packing on this order. Yes there is a slight smell but nothing too strong. Just a great outdoor device for utility and recreation purposes. Update: I am getting about 6 hours burn time on high setting. The weather has finally broke and it's warm enough to be out at night, these really push back the darkness. Great product for non electric outdoors events. 20 April 2013: Bought another and it arrived in excellent condition, not a bit of damage. ... show more

  • Wish I had found this years ago.
Style: Lantern
This is a solid product. I am an avid Coleman lantern collector. I have inherited, collected and refurbished Coleman lanterns and stoves from the 1950's, 1960's,1970's. Have about a dozen 'dual-fuel' lanterns so far. This lantern beats them all for it's simplicity of use. No fussing with the temperamental generator valve as with a dual-fuel. It's one down side is that you need ethanol in some form to pre-heat the generator to vaporize the kerosene. This is true for all pressure kerosene lanterns, though. The different comes in when you slowly open the valve, just a bit before the ethanol is burned off - The kerosene fuel softly ignites thus avoiding the startling paWHOOF of the gas lanterns. It burns quieter, also. As with all pressure lanterns, it should be pumped up again after it has burned for a few minutes. K-1 grade kerosene, and any denatured alcohol from the hardware store, works great in this. One potential downside - shipping: The globe protection inside the package is not the best when facing rough handling. Coleman should address this. Coleman could not sell/ship me a replacement globe. Instead, Coleman shipped & replaced the entire lantern. Great customer service. Alternatively, extra globes can be purchased from Lehmann's. ... show more

  • Recommend This Lantern.
Style: Lantern
Perfect adjunct to my propane lantern. May even become my go-to. That depends on the availability of replacement globes. To date I've been unable to locate any and response from Coleman has not happened. First the pros. Several reviews mentioned that the brightness was not adjustable. I found this not to be the case at all. When turned all the way up, it brightly illuminates an area 30' in diameter when hung at an elevation of 5' and a full tank of kerosene will last 6.5 hours. When turned down, it provides a softer glow just bright enough to light up the area in front of a tent giving a feeling of security for really young campers. The standard Coleman lantern hiss is not as loud with the kerosene fueled lantern. Apparently the hissing noise bothers some folks but it's actually just a part of using a pressurized lantern. When hung, the bail (handle) doesn't get as hot as the propane or white gas models. I've burned my hand a couple of times in the past but it shouldn't be a problem with this lantern. The filtered, filler funnel works great. It special design allows you to top off the lantern with no fuel spillage. With K-1 kerosene selling at a bulk price of $4.50 a gallon, that's an important consideration. Some may ask why kerosene? The answer is simple. Shelf life. If stored properly, K-1 remains viable as a fuel for 5 years. There have been cases where kerosene was found in remote cabins that was 10+ years old. It had to be filtered through a rag but it afterwards it was still useable. Don't try this with gas or even "white gas". Now for the cons. The need to have alcohol to preheat the generator tube can be problematic. Initally I was having to undo the top of the lantern to put fuel in the pre-heating cup adding to the risk of damaging the mantle or worse, breaking the globe. After a few uses, I found that the bottle easily fits through the closest "match hole" so the disassembly problem went away with use and experience. The only other problem has been a lack of a replacement globe/s. If Coleman ever gets back with me, that problem might be alleviated. Only time will tell. UPDATE!!! Found that Coleman uses a seperate supplier for "replacement" parts. Called them up and ordered 2 replacement globes at a very reasonable cost. ... show more

  • Awesome lantern
Style: Lantern
This lantern is made well and is brighter than most other lanterns of similar size. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not think you know better than the instructions. I made that mistake. I skipped one step and when I lit it I had flames coming out everywhere. Every opening was on fire. I finally got it shut down. I had destroyed the mantle and started over. This time I followed the instructions to the letter. I had no problems at all that time. It has worked perfectly since. I would recommend paying the extra for a high quality kerosene. The fumes are not near as strong. Edit 1: I have now used it many times and compared it side by side with my dual fuel lantern also by Coleman. They are both good lanterns but must give the edge to this kerosene lantern. It is brighter with one mantle than the other with two.I have stuck with Coleman brand kerosene. I am very happy with this lantern and am considering getting a second one. ... show more

  • Comparison with Dual-Fuel lantern
Style: Lantern
If you're considering this lantern, you might be considering other liquid-fuel pressurized lanterns, too. I'll share my impressions after some home testing and a weekend of camping, and compare it to the Coleman Dual-Fuel (coleman fuel and unleaded gasoline) twin-mantle lantern Coleman Premium Dual Fuel(TM) Lantern with Hard Carry Case that I've had for a number of years. Advantages of this model: * In my unscientific comparison, this kerosene model is brighter. The jury is still out for me, as I haven't done an apples-to-apples comparison with fresh high-quality mantles, and I have a mesh globe on the dual-fuel right now. But both are in the same class, as far as brightness goes. There are other models of dual-fuel or coleman-fuel lantern, so this doesn't necessarily mean kerosene is better. * Kerosene is arguably a safer fuel to store around the house, and it's cheaper per gallon. Whether it's actually cheaper per hour of comparable light output (the important comparison) is some math I haven't done yet. Note that this lantern's runtime per tank is lower. (kero: 5.75 hour on 2 pints, dual fuel 7 hours on 1.3 pints). At these quoted rates, the kerosene lantern burns .34 pints/hour, vs. .18 pints/hour for the dual fuel (with somewhat less light output). So, dollars per hour looks pretty darn close, actually. Advantages of the dual-fuel model, vs. the kerosene: * More convenient to start up. Pump it up, stick a flame in, and turn the knob. The kerosene lantern requires priming with some other fuel to get going (a small bottle for alcohol is provided). I find I don't really mind the extra minute or so (I frankly enjoy that sort of thing), but I'm concerned about having another container of another fuel to manage - to keep filled, keep upright, and just keep track of while packing, transporting, camping, and storing. Lose that little bottle, or let it get drained out (it doesn't seal), and you'll be forced to improvise (um...maybe hand sanitizer?) or sit in the dark. * Significantly more compact. I thought the dual-fuel lantern was a big beast until I got the kerosene model. * Cheaper. I got it with the hard case (which has worked out very well) for about 2/3 the price of the kerosene lantern alone. * More aftermarket options - aside from the aforementioned case (available bundled or separately), there are aftermarket glass and metal mesh globe replacements, and the side-mount reflector, which I've come to like a lot. The kerosene model has no knob on top, so it can't mount the reflector. * Significantly quieter. I like the sound these make, and it brings back some memories, but the kero is not just noticeably louder but has an extra element of turbine-like, rushing-gas sound. * More runtime in the tank (7 hrs on high), and more runtime per unit of fuel. I can usually get two evenings out of my dual-fuel, which covers most of my trips. * Much better for low lighting levels. It's very hard to get the kerosene model to run steadily at a reduced light level; the dual-fuel can go much lower in brightness and still burn steadily. * More reliable. Maybe I'm just new at it, but on the first night at camp, I had a crazy flame-out with the kerosene model that engulfed it in flame and left the top half darkened by soot. After swapping in a Peerless mantle from oldcolemanparts, it burned brightly and steadily on the second night (unless I was flirting with minimum brightness levels). Yeah, it guess I'm making a case for the dual-fuel. It wins out on convenience, quietness, and better low-light control. Unless you have a strong pull to use kerosene as a fuel, e.g. you already have a supply around for other purposes, I suggest you keep life a little simpler. I don't regret adding this kerosene model to my stable, as it adds some fuel versatility and great maximum brightness, but if you're looking for your first liquid-fuel lantern, I wouldn't start here. I'm still giving this four stars, as it does a good job of being what it is - a sturdy, large, well-constructed, and very bright kerosene lantern. It looks great, with its deep green paint and large, more spherical globe - very classic Coleman. I wish it was possible to turn the light level down more, and I wish the top was held on with a nut in the center rather than by the ends of the handle pinching into holes in the inner structure (the manual still refers to a hut). I also wish the alcohol bottle had a way to close, and had a better angle at the end of its straw that didn't tend to squirt alcohol across the top of the pre-heat cup if you aren't careful. Suggestions for a better pre-heat solution are welcome! p.s. Mine initially had a jarring, unnerving sound when set down, of glass hitting metal harder than it ought to. The heat shield at the bottom is shaped a bit like, um, a 4 legged spider, with the outer part of the "legs" bend slightly upward where the glass globe rests on them. They were bent only slightly, though, so the glass was basically jiggling around and bottoming out when set down. I bent up the "feet" of the heat shield a bit with pliers, so that they supply some upward pressure on the globe; now it is better suspended between these feet and the lid on top, and I think it'll be less likely to crack over time. ... show more

  • Good lantern for hours of bright light
Style: Lantern
This is a very good lantern--it puts out a lot of light and a fair amount of heat. It seems to be well-made. And I like kerosene because it stores well for a long time and is less dangerous than some other fuels. But there are a few minor downsides. The carrying handle does not seem very secure to me. I would feel better carrying it (especially when lit) with a more secure handle. Second, it takes several minutes to start it up. Kerosene must be added, denatured alcohol must be carefully squirted into a small cup, and then it must be lit with a long match. Then it needs to warm up for a couple of minutes before it starts producing bright light. It also needs to be pumped initially and sometimes during use. If you're going to be using the lantern for hours, its totally worth it. Once it gets going, this lantern rocks. But if you just need a quick light for a few minutes to an hour, I'd suggest buying the Coleman Elite Perfectflow propane lantern for 1/2 the cost. ... show more
