Coleman Lanterns

When we think of camping lanterns the first thing that comes to mind is Coleman lanterns. I think the 2 names are used interchangeable by most. There are other lanterns available but the Coleman lantern is by far the most popular and frequently seen around camp sites. A Coleman camping lantern is a wise choice and should be on every camper's checklist.

Think of Coleman as the lantern expert because they have been making them for over a hundred years. They have many types of Coleman lanterns available today. Some of the most popular are the liquid fuel, propane and battery lanterns. They even have special lanterns for tents and some are remote control.

Coleman lanterns powered by fuel such as kerosene, liquid fuel and propane should not be used in a tent.

They generate a lot of heat and can reach a very high temperature that can burn or melt sleeping bags, tent material, air mattresses and clothing. These lanterns are designed for outdoor use and should be used as outdoor lighting. They are great for this purpose.

The best cared for lanterns will need a little cleaning and maintenance every now and then. Should you need to repair your Coleman lantern you can easily find the parts and the replacement is very easy requiring the simplest of tools if you need any tools at all. Most parts don't require tools at all such as replacing the mantles or globes.
