Sorry, this is not a review. This just popped up on Coleman's website.

RAMBUS® LED EDGE-LIT LIGHT GUIDES
LUMENS: TBD
RUNETIME: TBD
RANGE: TBD
EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF LIGHT
CHOOSE YOUR POWER, 4D BATTERIES, OR CPX™ 6 RECHARGEABLE
HI/LOW FOR OPTIMAL LIGHT OUTPUT
Until recently, Coleman's battery-powered lanterns have sat dim in the shadows of their ancestors. In the past few months, Coleman has released two seperate models using competing manufacturers of state of the art LEDs. Phaserburn just posted his initial impressions of the 1000 Lumen CPX™ 6 Lantern, which fetures 5 Luxeon Rebel ES LED bulbs under a remote phosphor. At 1000 lumens, this equals liquid fuel lanterns in terms of light output, but not so much in runtime. The new Tri Lantern uses "RAMBUS® LED EDGE-LIT LIGHT GUIDES" and costs $25 more. Right away, I can see that the Tri Lantern has long emitters that resemble flourescent tubes. This should help with glare reduction. It will be interesting to see how the runtime and output competes with the 1000 Lumen Lantern. For now, I'll stick with my 200A.
