Coleman Lanterns over 100 years of excellence

By Martin Wilkins


W.C. Coleman the founder of the Coleman company first produced his lanterns over 100 years ago. Finding a better light source for rural America which at the time was still not connected to electrical service was His goal. Kerosene was the primary fuel for lanterns at the time and this was a smoky and dim light source that needed improvement. The new fuel source just coming on the market was gasoline which provided a cleaner burning and brighter light source.

Without electrical service the lantern was rural Americas primary light for home and outdoor use. Colemans cleaner burning lanterns were a much better light than kerosene and quickly became very popular. The Coleman company and its dedication to improved light sources began st that time and has continued to improve up to today.

We all remember using the Coleman white gas lanterns on our camping trips when we were younger. Todays battery lanterns are as much an advancement from those lanterns as the original Coleman lantern was from the old kerosene lanterns they replaced. Using battery power these lanterns are able to provide clean bright light without the hazard of liquid fuels. No more mess or fumes to worry about just clean bright light.

Shortly following battery powered lanterns were the rechargeable lanterns. No longer did you need to even worry about having the right battery all you needed was an outlet to recharge your lantern from time to time. The CPX interchangeable power packs are also available allowing you to power different Coleman lanterns or lights with the same rechargeable power pack. You can now choose between a Coleman lantern with its own power cord are a rechargeable power pack with the ability to power different lights.

Using either advanced LED lighting or compact fluorescent lighting these lanterns are able to provide a number of different light settings and many hours of use from one charge. These battery powered lanterns are even rivaling regular electric lights that require a socket in your home. Safer and cleaner than liquid fueled lanterns and as much or even more light produced make these lanterns truly the best choice for your next lantern purchase.

Producing lanterns for over 100 years has given Coleman the experience to become a trusted name in outdoor lighting. Providing light for your needs today and able to provide light for your needs of tomorrow. Almost any outdoor lighting need you may have can be met by a Coleman product with ease. The regular and steady improvements Coleman has made to their lanterns prove they are a company you have trusted for over 100 years and can continue to trust into the future.
