Coleman Delux Lantern/Clock With EverLED

Bmccue1964 · Mar 4, 2006

I have one of those COleman lanterns (4 "D" cells) with a clock built in. I'm thinking of buying an EverLED for it to increase brightness and runtime. Do you guys think that the EverLED emits enough "side" light for decent illumination? Also, what do you think the runtime would be. The lantern has a dual level light mode apparently with a resistor inline with the bulb (low).

The EverLED is a 1w luxeon bulb. A 6 1/2w luxeon K2 LED bulb would be much brighter: http://www.quality-items-flashlights.com/product_info.php/info/p11616_Luxeon-K2-LED-Bulb-Replacement-for-Maglite-C-D---White-LED.html/XTCsid/58927b2bb4eb89932707604cc2cd7785

Wow! That's a lot of output for an LED. I'm interested in long run times to 50% (about 50+ hours).

Thanks John.

That looks like an awesome bulb and I'll give it some thought.

BTW - no relation to Terrence McCue. Only LEO with my last name is Bob McCue of the Wourn, MA PD.

An EverLED will give you the longest runtime due to it's buck/boost converter. It will keep going at near full brightness until the batteries are totally dead...and then still give you many hours of useable dim light.

Everleds can get hot; check out the bulb post for metal heat sinking. If it's plastic, I'd advise agains burn times like you're thinking of.
