 Coleman Northstar Instastart Propane Lantern By: Coleman Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Very bright camping lantern  On: 2005-04-20I bought one of these lanterns three years ago at the local discount store. I have used it numerous times on camping expeditions. It outputs very bright light at full blast. The lantern is quick to light and the best part is it does not require matches. The only three issues I have with this lantern are: 1. Sucks the propane. I also have the coleman fuel lantern, and while it is not as bright, it can go for a week of camping on one tank (5 cups) of fuel. 2. Loud. This lantern is loud when burning. The above mentioned lantern is much quieter. 3. Construction -- the fiberglass (?) base around the knob has disintegrated from my thumb rubbing it when trying to light the lantern. Hopefully this will not affect the longevity of the lantern. Id recommend it if you are looking for convenience and bright light, but if you are looking for value, go with the old dual mantle coleman fuel (pump up) lantern.
