Why We Like The Rugged CPX Lantern
The Rugged CPX Lantern is a great choice for weekend trips to the campsite. Its beam distance offers plenty of search range when propped on the picnic table, letting us scurry off and visibly grab what we need without scrounging the ground blindly on hands and knees.

Replacement lantern
I had to buy a complete new lantern because the battery pack in my previous lantern was stuck in the bottom and when I tipped the bottom of the lantern on a workbench the battery pack fell out and smashed to bits on the floor. I do like the lantern for camping, thus I bought a new one.

bad thing to purchase
Received two as gifts and neither one works. Waste of money.

Not durable at all
I bought this because replacing D Batteries is much better than charging Big 12Volt battery. Or better than a chargeable lantern. Although my plastic globe is easily scratched and has a hole in it. I need a new globe and I can't find one.

Works great when plugged in.
Not sure how long I’ve had this but rarely used it. Now it doesn’t hold a charge. Indicates that it’s charged but unplug it and nothing. Nada. Zip.

I need a battery
I have been happy with this lantern, which we have had for several years. I was glad to see it is still in production, and my battery has held up all this time - until now. I need a new battery pack but am unable to locate one anywhere. Any suggestions?

Poor workmanship.
I bought this for lighting when power is lost. I in fact bought this an another Coleman lantern I bought this lantern(700 lumens) as a supplemental source of light/ backup to the other Coleman lantern I bought (400 lumens) as backup, just in case. Good thing I did because I have not been able to use the 700 lumen lantern at all so I at least still have the 400 lumen lantern!. Problem is I need two workable lanterns. I cannot even get the battery pack compartment door open. I am very, very disappointed. Even the illustration showing how to open the compartment is faded out and not clear at all. The other illustrations are crystal clear. That was surely an ominous sign I guess. I have been an avid camper and we always had Coleman equipment...stoves, lanterns, coolers, tents and flys etc.and never had any problems until recently. Honestly, we are due for a big storm and I wanted some reassurance of having light at least. I am a very unhappy camper!

Battery failure when needed the most
We are in an ice storm related black out. Lantern has some 'juice' left, but won't take a charge. Something is seriously wrong with design.

Avoid this product
Used it 3 times and then tried to recharge 'rechargeable' battery and it stays on 'Green' as it indicates 'charged' but will not work unless plugged into charger....
