After looking for a flashlight, I am not looking for a LED Lantern.
This will mainly be used for car camping / Tent use and emergency use in the home. I don't need anything super expensive, but I am a little leery of the cheap $10-$15 walmart ones. Looking for either a C or D battery sized lantern. I was looking at these two... Number 1 Number 2 What other ones should I be looking at? |

Quoted: Find yourself a rayovac sportsman extreme lantern. China mart, target, lowes carry them. 300 lumens on high with a pleasant white light. They cost between $20 and $28 depending on where you find them. I agree!! They are the best and here is a link!! Link |

This is smaller than the Ray-O-Vac above, and may be smaller than what you're looking for, but some of us, myself included, really like this:
Meijer.com - Coleman 3AA High Tech LED Mini Lantern Their shipping charges were very reasonable, at least as of a few months ago. It has adjustable intensity. |

I use one of these in the tent. It is built well and compact.

While for stationary use I like Goalzero's Lamp but use a Coleman LED lantern for mobile stuff. And call me old fashion but nothing has replaced the Coleman lantern for general camp area light.

Coleman High Tech Mini Lantern: Sorry! They only carry this on line. PITA45 
PS I too like Gas Lantern for real light |

I have this. Neat little setup. Very bright. Haven't had to really use it though. |

Just one last thing: Coleman Micropacker LED Lantern
Only bring this up because it is a little smaller(for BOB) then the other Coleman Because of that batterys do not last as long, but much brighter. Looking at it myself, Just around $12.00. One my store had was not a Coleman, it was some off brand. Same price not sure why? Just a thought! PITA45
EDITED: Sorry it was a Coleman. Looked at two different lights! |

I picked up this one last week at Wal-Mart for $20. I used it a little over Memorial Day Weekend and it worked great. I picked it up to use for camping and inside the house if we lose power. The light output is good but the battery life that's listed could be better. For the cost though I thought it wasn't a bad deal. http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=2000008554&categoryid=10455&brand= |
