I like that you can disconnect two panels and they have magnets on them. Mine came with a broken battery lid but Coleman quickly replaced with a new unit.
I will make a nice addition to camp lighting.
Keep in mind that this is not USB chargeable like I originally thought. I misread it.

Very disappointed! One of the lights that you a take off the main light does not work. Itwill work when it is attached to the main light but when separated, it will not turn on. We are just now using it because our granddaughter came. We bought it to put in our tent. Really like the light but it does not work properly!,

This Portable lantern is great, it’s very bright, I like that you can remove each light pad , put on in your cellar, in your vehicle , always a good idea for the home , I have 4 of the larger size , You wouldn’t be going wrong at getting as many as you want, plus there’s a bonus… on the top of the lantern you can charge your cell phone if your out of power.

I also have a four panel lantern. I like this one for emergencies. It’s bright but not real bright

The bottom of this thing pops off just by looking at it. I can’t tell you how many times I put it in my camping box or literally anywhere and the bottom pops off. When that happens, the batteries fall out and go everywhere. I’m constantly searching for the batteries. I got fed up for the last time and threw it in the trash

I might have an addiction to flashlights. At least my wife says so. Whatever. Let’s go with brevity here.
Cons: takes D cell batteries. Old school alkaline D cells. Rechargeables do not reach a high enough voltage (1.25 vs 1.5 volts) to properly recharge the removeable flashlight panels. Also, it’s typical Coleman plastic. IE cheap feeling but a bit tougher then you would suspect by the cheap feel of it. Faint praise intended.
Pros: Works like you are hoping it works. Maybe better if you are a pessimist like me. Most importantly to a internet expert like me (got the photoshopped degree to prove it) is that the batteries do not die down from sitting. Lots of things to go wrong with this setup that would cause a slow batterie drain but it doesn’t. Not saying yours wont, but mine doesn’t.
So much for brevity huh? don’t blame me, you are the one still reading this.

This is a hard one to review. I really like the concept and once it is working, it is great. The units I got were back ordered, which led me to believe I would be getting these fresh from the factory. However, when we got the units all shipped with dead rechargeable batteries, so the units were dead on arrival. I opened a ticket with Coleman, and by reading other reviews, it was a problem of which they were well aware. That said, I never got a response back from Coleman, so my options were to replace the rechargeable batteries myself or return the entire units. I decided to replace them myself (and hopefully get replacements from Coleman). In their current state, I love the lantern, but plan to spend another $10 to replace the rechargeables yourself.
[Update] I never received replacement batteries from Coleman.

For a 4 x D light it is pretty bright and small. Works well. 2 levels are bright enough. And makes the batteries last.
ON button is sometimes hard to find in the dark.
Would be nice to have a POWER button glow mode.
Made a modification to be able to use rechargeable batteries and charge them in the unit So you don’t have to take them out that works good using solar panel in the sun.
Or trickle charge the batteries while the light is in use.
Over a great light for a battery host mod.
