Customer Reviews

Very Bright Light
You just can't go wrong with Coleman white or dual fuel products. The easy clip tube-mantel on this lantern is very easy to install and pre-burn. The lantern is rugged and the electric ignition feature works like a charm; although, I haven't tried it in wet conditions and rather doubt it would work as well. Even though this lantern will use unleaded fuel or white fuel, I prefer to only use the white fuel because I believe it is more stable but being able to use unleaded fuel is a benefit if you run out of white fuel and none is available at local areas stores. If you have never used a fuel fired lantern you need to know that, yes, they get hot. Very hot! And, because they burn fuel, they will create carbon monoxide so they are not suitable for indoor or tent use.

Bright, Fussy to Light
I bought this to replace a very old two mantle Coleman lantern. The light it puts out is very bright, and the lantern itself seems well-built. I'm not crazy about the battery ignition system, though. It does work, but coupled with the tube mantle, produces quite a pop when it ignites, followed by a lot of flame - I assume from the tube mantle filling up with gas prior to the igniter being able to light it. I blew through the side of the 1st mantle in just a few uses because of the way this lantern lights. My old Coleman's conventional mantles lasted for years.

Finally, 2 months after purchasing this from Amazon, I found the lantern at a Coleman outlet for $30.00 less.

Coleman Northstar Dual Fuel Lantern
LOVE IT, LOVE IT< LOVE IT

I choose my equipment based on ease of use (especially for a mostly blind person), convenience, and reliability

The mantels are incredibly easy to put on, although the ones that came with the lantern do not have a little rubber piece that the replacements come with. The metal hoock / clamp was too loose and when we tried to tighten it just a bit, it broke. However, the replaements fit perfectly as the rubber piece makes them hold thier shape until you install them.

As for the dual fuel, let's face it; if you run out of fuel it's easier to go get some unleaded gas than it is to find more camp fuel.

The matchless system is awesome; I don't have to worry about haveing to get close to the lantern to see where my match tip is and have it blow up in my face.

I like the metal cage around the globe so It wll be much harder to break the globe (and yes, I did kick it over the first night in camp :-p)

Oe more thing - You absolutely CAN get a hard cover case for this lantern. I'm sure there's one on here that works, but I got mine at Bass Pro where I could put the lantern in to make sure it fit.

All around an EXCELLENT product!!
