The Coleman Quad LED Lantern is made up of four snap-on 6-LED panels to provide lights in all directions. This is useful when you wanna split into a few teams in your adventurous journey, which each team can be given a 6-LED panel that is detachable from the lantern, so each team gets their own light.
The 6-LED panels can then be put back on to the lantern, when the teams meet up at one place. But the little question is who is gonna carry the lantern that adds little burden because of its weight (11″H x 6″ diam. Wt. 5 lb. 8 oz). Each individual panel has a recharageable NiMH battery, which is charged off the eight D-cell batteries located in the lantern’s base, which can run the lantern for up to 72 hours.
A full charge of the panel can give light for an hour for each panel. Meaning, if you intend to have your teams to split into different directions, they’ll need to get back to the one that is holding the lantern for a recharge. Or else they’ll be in dark.
Due to the wide-angle LEDs and frosted lenses, light is able to disperse over a large area. Each panel has an on/off switch that is accessible only when it’s been snapped off the lantern. The entire lantern is able to put out 190 lumens of light.
