As spring comes around once again, it is time to think about camping gear. Camping is a fascinating pastime for families and single adults alike. There is a wide range of places to go and many fun things to do no matter where you choose to go camping. Of course, if you want your experience to be an enjoyable one, it pays to make sure you have the right camping equipment – tents, utensils, bug spray, lanterns, and the like.
Coleman camping lanterns are a good option if you are a person who likes to camp often. There are a number of different Coleman camping lanterns – Coleman propane lanterns, Coleman dual fuel lanterns, and Coleman gas lantern and therefore the price for a Coleman lantern varies wildly; it can be anywhere between $50 – $100.
Coleman dual fuel lanterns are a good option; Coleman makes a few different kinds of these. They all have an electric ignition so you do not need to bother with matches. They can run on either white gasoline or unleaded gasoline. They have clips so that you do not have to mess with tying them onto some part of the tent and they have a metallic cage around the glass part so that it can not be easily broken. All in all, the dual fuel lanterns are a good option for most campers, and as was mentioned above, there are a few different kinds of duel fuel lanterns made by Coleman so that you should not have a problem finding something that is in your price range.
Coleman propane lanterns are another good option for use in camping. They are bright and powerful and easy to use. You can get the kind that clip onto the tent or the kind that are made to stand up on the ground; both are made with safety in mind. Some prefer the convenience of the hanging lantern. Like the dual fuel Coleman lanterns, Coleman propane lanterns also come with electronic ignition so that you do not have to bother using matches. These lanterns are also quite a bit cheaper than Coleman duel fuel lanterns; you can get them for around $20 – $30. You can also buy a hard case for them, also made by Coleman, that makes it easy to transport them to the camping site without them breaking. Both Coleman’s lanterns are made to be rust resistant; you do not have to worry about the rain with one of these lanterns.
As with anything these lanterns require maintenance and repair. You can buy replacement globes and also replacement mantles. If you know the type of lantern you have and even the model number you can get almost any replacement part from the Coleman website. Of course in order to repair your ourdoor lantern you need to know what is wrong with it. Even though you don’t need to be a lantern expert it may be safer to just buy a new lantern because the last thing you need is a fuel link and start something on fire.
Coleman lanterns are easy enough to find in any supermarket or shop that sells camping gear. You can also purchase them from an online retailer quite easily. Buying a Coleman lantern online offers a few advantages – it is quick and fairly easy to do, you can see at a glance what your options are, and a number of online retailers will also throw in free shipping when you buy from them. About the only disadvantage is that you can not actually see the lantern before you buy it, as you would be able to do in a normal shop.
