It
has happened to campers time and time again. They pack the best tents,
grills, hammocks, and sleeping bags they can find, but forget that
all of those things become much harder to use if they don’t
have the right kind of lantern. On the other hand, owners of Coleman
lanterns know that having the right kind of lantern can make a special
camping trip even better.
Coleman lanterns come in so many different sizes and varieties that
it can be a chore to figure out which one to take with you. There
are some important things to remember when choosing a lantern. For
example:
· What kind of energy source should you use? Depending on
what you are using the lantern for, Coleman lanterns offer three basic
energy source choices. Whether you choose battery-powered, propane-fueled,
or gas-fueled lanterns is up to you.
· How important is convenience? Do you know how to light a
lantern? If not, maybe a battery-powered or an instant lighting lantern
may be the best choice for you. Coleman lanterns are easy for both
camping pros and novices to use.
· How much do you want to carry? Some lanterns are light –
less than five pounds. Other lanterns can weigh 10-15 pounds. You
also must consider how heavy the fuel is that you will be carrying.
Quality Coleman lanterns are available in both light and heavier weights.
· What type of weather conditions are you going to be camping
in? When camping in below-freezing temperatures, you may want to investigate
in using some of the propane-butane special mixtures.
Before you take off on your camping trip, remember these considerations
and you can assure yourself that the Coleman lanterns you have chosen
will be the right ones for you.
