Coleman Focus Lantern

Bought this light 3 years ago and it is one little bull of a light. It is short and not to heavy. The 4 D batteries are most of the weight. As you can see from the picture, the whole top part is the light. It puts out one heck of an amount of light for such a little guy. It does not eat batteries either. I think in the 3 years we have had it, the batteries have been replaced 3 maybe 4 times. No lie. And we use it quite a bit, at least 4 times a week. We live on 5 acres and I have stood at the back door and shined it out into the dark night and it lights almost to the edge of our property behind our house and that is about 200 feet back. Most of our acres is to the side of our property but from our back door straight out is about 200 feet or a little more and it lights up the ground very brightly for about 150 to 175 of that 200 and then it starts to get darker from there on but you can still see back there. When our power goes out I put it sitting up like the picture and it lights up a very large room so that you can see everything in that room (usually our kitchen/dinning room because they make one big room). The handle has many positions on it so you can tilt this light just about any way you want it. It is almost like carrying a car headlight around. I would say for the money, its performance, and its tough little case - yes it is worth every penny.


Can be bought at your local stores.
