Coleman 1000 Lumens LED Outdoor Camping Light Lantern with BatteryGuard

couldn't get the bottom off or the lamp to turn on

The Coleman 1000-lumen LED Lantern with BatteryGuard in green is one of those pieces of gear that instantly earns its spot in your camping bin because it's bright, dependable, and thoughtfully designed for real-world use. The light output is genuinely impressive-1000 lumens fills a whole campsite, a tent, or even a backyard during a power outage without feeling harsh. Batteryguard is the standout feature: being able to disengage the battery when not in use means no accidental drain and far fewer surprise dead lantern moments, which every mom appreciates when she's the one keeping everything running smoothly. The build feels sturdy, the green finish is charmingly classic, and the runtime is long enough to get through evenings of cooking, card games, and kid chaos. It's practical, durable, and quietly premium in a way that makes you trust it every time you click it on.

Don’t order this product. The part where you put the batteries in you cannot get the lid closed. There’s some type of defect with this design.

Nicest, Brightest, Little Lantern you could ask for

I have two battery guard lanterns both are now junk as the cheap on off switch is broken on both of them. And no replacement knobs are available. This is crazy that you can not purchase new knobs.

I feel that I owe it to Coleman and to anybody out there with a brain to write a good review for this product. If you are not an idiot, you will love this product. I just took it out of the package and put the batteries in. It works great and is very bright. Most people only take time to leave negative reviews. Just carefully close the battery compartment in reverse of how you opened it. Don’t try to turn the knob past the stopping points. It’s made of plastic because plastic is affordable and lightweight. I am fully satisfied with my purchase. If somebody had left a review like this when I was reading them before my purchase, I would not have been so hesitant for no reason.

A little larger than expected, otherwise a wonderful product.

Bought it for Hurricanes here in Hurricane Ianville, Cape Coral, Fl. So far its great. Bring it on Hurricanes. Ready!!!!!

I love this lantern and have had none of the problems others have reported with the battery compartment.

Replacing my 20+ yr old, heavy, 8 “D” battery Coleman with the 2 glass bulbs bc I cant get them anymore. Chose this one based on size and weight. I went to install batteries and encountered the same issue many others have. The battery compartment locked up and wouldn’t completely seat. It also wouldnt remove. Multiple reviews mention this problem, but only one actually figured it out! The tube that inserts has a slight tear drop shape. I used a flat screwdriver to VERY gently unseat the cover. Once off I could see the issue. It’s amazing that Coleman, in all their responses to others reviews, dont mention this and nothing in manual. Once you see this shape, you’ll be able to line it up properly to take it off and on.
