    The gas lantern you used first looked the best to me. It lightened up the whole area very well.

    #1 reason I'm would NOT CHOOSE an LED over a real lantern...No heat production that can save your life as well...I've used a gas lantern camping when I was younger and Green..lol.on a first camping trip with my current wife...We were not prepared for the drop in temp at night...in the back of a frozen truck bed the heat generated kept us from freezing....Led would be useless in that situation ❤😮.. Great review brother 👍🏻

    The only reason I see the battery one as a good fit is because kids can safely use it. When I'm campi g and using lanterns, I'm trying to light a larger area, so the gas mantle lanterns seem to work best. I have an old Coleman 200a that I really love to use camping.

    • @GoMidwestFishing
      @GoMidwestFishing  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The gas lanterns are definitely brighter, so if your lighting a large area, I 100% agree with that. I find that the LED puts out enough light for most things I do, and is so easy to use that I usually grab that one. Thanks for your opinion. I always enjoy hearing what others think too.

    I grew up with the white gas lanterns. I bought my first one about 15 years ago and have built up a small collection of them since. The great thing about them is that they last forever and are easy to keep running or repair. Most of my coleman lanterns are older than I am. I just bought a "new" one made in 1969 for $12. I would agree the safety factor of the LED light is great if you are putting the lantern in a tent, or having kids use it.

    What a great video.
    I’ll admit my biases up front: I’m a Fudd (early 1950’s). I love my Streamlight Siege but it doesn’t have that Coleman “hiss” that some people pay money for as “sleep noise” on their iPhones. If I want instant light, it’s the Siege. But firing up a Coleman is kinda like a Japanese Tea Ceremony. Take a kid camping and teach them that night is coming on, they need to get prepared and firing up the lantern and laying in the firewood is part of it. In a pinch you can’t use batteries to start a fire in a rainstorm, kill a wasp nest in the outhouse, or limp back into town if you knock a hole in you gas tank. LEDs are great for light and inside a tent. NEVER, EVER bring a Coleman inside a tent. But inside a deer camp in November, or one of them ice fishing huts, it’s the Coleman, every time. I quit twenty years ago and I DO NOT recommend it, but you can’t light a cigarette with an LED. Cigars for special occasions are OK by me. I just rehabbed a Friends 1957 Coleman Model 202. 67 years of family history, maybe $20 in parts and it’s running like new, good for another 67 years. If leaking batteries don’t kill that LED lantern the plastic will deteriorate and it will end up in a landfill along with all the dead batteries. Your children won’t be telling their children stories about “GrandDad’s LED lantern.”
    I love ALL of my lanterns, ~30, and each has a special niche, but old family liquid fueled pressurized lanterns are my favorite.
    I've never opened up an old home-made wooden box and found a propane or LED lantern inside. A very dear Friend gifted me a Swiss Military Field Lighting Kit. Extremely cool, but it ain't Gan Paps.

      This was my favorite comment by far! You had me laughing pretty good, especially the part about killing a wasp nest and limping into town. There is nothing like the hiss of an old gas lantern. The LED is so easy to use and convenient that I used it over the others, which is why I picked it, but it definitely can't do any of the things you described. I really think I need to revisit this subject and look at it from more than just a technical standpoint.

    Personally, I'll take the white gas every day. Once you get to stoves, it's night and day. Propane doesn't even compare and gets expensive if buying the little bottles. Getting a converter for 20lb tanks helps, but that's a lot to lug around.
    A little single burner white gas stove has a 10500 but burner lol. Boil a liter of water in less than 4 minutes.
    Since I prefer my single and dual burner white gas stoves, may as well use the lanterns too lol. No reason to carry propane and white gas
    Don't get me wrong I have some pull out LED ones for inside if power goes out. But for camping I'm white gas all the way. Just got gallons of the crown for $7.70 each. Got 4.

    I was really expecting the LED lamp to light the whole garage, I was surprised at how short of a distance it throws light.
    Battery stuff has come a real long way and it sure has a lot of great uses, but for me camping and emergency light the gas pressure lamp is still king.
    If you lose power for a long time you don’t need a closet full of batteries to run it, and if push comes to shove and you run completely out of fuel they will happily sip on pump gas, can siphon some off a vehicle or lawn mower and you’re gtg again.

    Coleman lantern collector here. I have several lanterns. You should try out the Coleman model 237. It burns kerosene. (Yes, kerosene....not white gas). It’s a single mantle lantern, and extremely bright. I use a peerless 111 mantle on my 237 and it will just about blind you. 1 tank will last about 10 hours. Tank size on my 237 is 2 pints.
    Also, be aware that the mantle you use has a huge influence on light output. Coleman mantles are not any good these days. They suck. Try out some peerless 2c-hg mantles on your little 288 you already have.....you will see what I am talking about.

It’s a little bit bigger mantle than the 2C-hg. If it’s a strong runner, it will push them just fine and be extremely bright. A lot of my dual mantle lanterns can push them.
      2C-hg are the same size as a regular Coleman #21.

    it is very strange how you rate the LED better than the others, the old gas lantern is soooo much better than all of them and the propane is better than the battery crap. That sound is part of the older camper culture and is music to the ears of some folk. The whole process of pumping, and listening to the old lantern is part of camping. The old gas lantern will light in the ice age and run as long as you can get fuel and if we cant get fuel we can just make fire because we are old and know how to do stuff :D

    • @GoMidwestFishing

      I completely agree with everything you said, which is why I cringed when I rated the LED best. When it comes to just needing some quick light, the LED is super easy to use and always ready to go, and you can use it anywhere. Now for all us old timers, the feeling of using the gas lanterns can't be replaced. It IS music to our ears. I still love my gas lantern, but I find myself using the LED more often just out of convenience.

Maybe your dad had a different lantern before and got this one in the mid to later half of the 80’s? It is still the first choice on the table for me though for a few reasons. Good showing of the comparisons for anyone that might be looking for a specific use lantern.

      The milspec stoves were dual and even triple fuel. But the civilian ones were only intended to use white gas.
      Sure you can run gasoline, but you'll foul up the generator.
      The dual fuel series has special generators that help negate that but in the modern day with the ethanol in the gas you'll still gum it up.
      Not a problem to clean if you're willing to learn how to take it apart.
      Here's how you can tell on older stoves at least.
      Red tanks on the stoves are fitted with white gas generator. Dual fuel has silver/gray tanks.
      Not to say you can't get a dual fuel generator.
      For example if you have a 425 stove you can buy the 426 generator and put it on. The 426 was the dual fuel version.
      Same with the 413. Can buy the 414 generator. But it has to be from the same vintage and size.
      425 is smaller than 413 so can't mix those but the 414 will fit on 413 and 424 will fit on 425 since dimensionally they're the same
      But again running gas in them will still gum them up just not as fast on a dual fuel model.
      But if you're a tinkerer and don't mind cleaning the generator, running ethanol free gas lowest octane you can get will work just fine.

    My experience is totally different? I have a duel mantal Colman propane lantern and an older single mantel Colman gas lantern. I'm not sure how old the gas lantern is but I'd say 1960s? The single mantel gas lantern is easily 10 times brighter then the duel mantal propane one. However I've noticed the duel mantal gas lanterns are substantially dimmer then my single mantel. Not sure if this is due to mine being older or a single mantel? Anyways I use the propane lantern around the house as I don't feel safe using a pressured gasoline lantern in my house. I remember when my dad was filling in in the kitchen sink and the vapors filled the sink rolled along the counter and down into the old gas stove that had standing pilots.

    For mere lighting...I hate the propane one due to noise. The Coleman electric is best for kids and nylon tents...however for much less than the price I can buy 3 pullup Tac Lights for $10 that use 3 AA batteries.
    The traditional white gas lamp is the best usable light.
    Cheapest ambient light is a simple wick kerosene lamp using pump kerosene. $1.25 a quart. A quart will run a lamp for 5 nights.

    Just put in tent for less than one hour but No sleep so you can take it out (outside) and put under small table with 2 heavy rocks by outside. Stay away if rain. Thinks safety first.

    #2 The propane with lantern.
    You take it in tent about less than one hour but Big No sleep so you take it out (outside) and put under small table with 2 heavy rocks by outside so stay away if rain. Think the safety first. The propane is #1 for dangerous (killing the people and kids if wrong to sleep).
    #3 The LED Lantern with 4 D batteries. Just put in tent for more than one hour because it can't kill the people and kids. No worry! 😁
    My way is to use LED Lantern with 4 D batteries plus candles w/ glass bowl with the wood (square) on the floor. The candles can't kill the people and kids, anyway. 😁 No worry! Be careful!

    I found the LED lamp to be of poor quality. The battery touch points were not very firm and I had to wobble the lamp for it to come on. Batteries once used a little tend to discharge themselves so for long storage you lose illumination time.
    For me the Propane was a clear winner. There is no shelf life to worry about, will light up a much wider area but most of all its a good heat source in cold climates.

    I’ve had 2 led lanterns in my life so far. Both were colemans using 4D cell batteries. The first one lasted 15 years before it failed due to the battery cartridge having a tab break. The leds were still going strong.
    Time will tell on how long the new one I bought will last, but the old one was a great lantern that simply is better than fuel based ones are in just about every way. Cheaper to buy, much cheaper to use, great light output, and safer. A good set of batteries will last a ridiculously long time in these lanterns.
    I don’t think I would want one that uses 8D batteries due to there being a distinct possibility that the batteries would start corroding before you knew you had to replace them!

    Nah bro, you forgot to include build quality and obviously longevity being the most important. You think that LED lantern will last 30 years with planned obsolesce in full effect? Also the cost of those batteries, ouch just looking at those two 4 packs are making me stay away. Sorry I do not agree. You said best but it seems this video is better for which is the brightest.

      You have a lot of good points. My final decision was based on which lantern I went to the most when I needed light. The LED is so easy to use and quick to turn on that I found myself always grabbing that one. Its a cheap lantern and build quality shows it. One pack of batteries last all season. If you have seen the price of propane, and white gas lately, the LED lantern is actually the cheapest to run. I still love my gas lanterns, and will keep using them too. Thanks for the comment.

    Gas. Power goes out frequently. Propane only if you have your own master cylinder and refill yourself

      Thanks for your input. Gas seems to be the popular choice.

    You probably shouldnt trust manufactures specs on run time.

      I'm sure they exaggerate the run times for marketing purposes.

    That may work for safety reasons what and I survival situation and you're having to consume your fuel the Coleman pump up lantern would be the best option no batteries required just gas and safety only very unwell trained people cannot function gas appliances maybe if you live in a city the battery powered would be okay I always grab my gas lantern

      Now that would be an interesting addition. I might be remaking this video and will will put in a kerosene lamp. Thanks for the idea.

    Disagree. Those batteries wont be working too well at -9°F. Then the heat will be appreciated.

      I do like the heat of the lantern in the winter. I did use the LED lantern after a month of sitting in sub zero temps, and it still worked! It was slightly dimmer, but I didn't expect it to even work. Thanks for giving your thoughts.

    • @astang1072

      Sure. The biggest problem with the cold is actually running battery-powered things in the cold. Merely storing in the cold can diminish them but running them while cold will net a much shorter run time.

    Now that 1lb propane is like the TP now, I’d say gas ... 🤣🤣🤣

      Hopefully someday we will be able to buy things again. Gas is a good choice, and still a favorite of mine. I usually leave the gas running nearby, and use the LED to carry around with me.

    45 dollars a bottle! My god.

    • @GoMidwestFishing
      @GoMidwestFishing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It makes me wonder if people are actually willing to pay that amount. I for one, will not.

      I have a lot of people loving the gas lanterns. I can see why.
