LED Lanterns

[Woody]

I've been using the same propane lantern for years now with little to no trouble.  However I thinking it's time to upgrade to the "new" LED Lantern.  Anyone have any advice or recommendations?  I really have no idea what is out there.  I will be needing 2 of these, so price will be a factor.  But I want the most "bang" for my buck.  Quality is worth the price!

I've checked out Fleet Farm, they have a Coleman single LED lantern with multiple reflectors.  I'll be looking at Cabela's here shortly (online).  But I want to check out all possibilities before deciding.

This is the one I've found so far that I like best. 

Twin LED

And then there is the 2nd best choice from Coleman...

8D Family Lantern


*I've decided against rechargable lanterns as once the batteries fail I'm screwed.  This way I can use my own rechargable "D" cell batteries and easily replace them when they go to pot.

I was gonna say that the LED lanterns I have are ok, but they dont perform as well/aren't as bright as propane lanterns, but that Coleman twin you found sounds like it may be pretty bright!  I think it said 580 Lumens... It must be the newer LED technology... but it does take 8 D-cells... I wonder how many hours you get off a set of batteries?  yeah, the rechargeable lanterns are good for home use, but you want the battery powered version for any serious camping done more than one night... unless you have a generator to re-charge I guess ....
