Anybody use Coleman Rechargeable lantern?

I bought it for my parent's as a Christmas gift. $30 at Walmart. It is a twin tube, each one six inches and 4 watts. I'm sure it can't be as bright as their regular models but they claim up to a ten hour runtime per charge. Anybody ever use one?

WE have one. Great little light. Nowhere near as bright as a propane one, but plenty bright to light up a table to eat or a tent or...

I meant probably not as bright as their regular florescent models.

I've used one like that for years which if left connected to the charger will turn on automatically if the power goes out. The 4Ah SLA gave out after three years of being connected to the charger. I picked up a new 5Ah replacement and no longer keep it "on line". Be sure to charge it a couple times a year if not used and charge it after using and the battery will last longer.
