are leds the most eficant means of light

i mean back when i was growing up it was a coleman latern but hell now they have led latenrs as bright as a coleman gas powered light to me thats amazeing plus they are brighter then gas and last way longer per money spent 4 d batts will light a light at 300 lumens for 75 hours.

What.

And as far as I am aware, any LED lantern I have seen will not produce as much light outwards as a gas coleman lantern.

I would consider the sun the most efficient source of light for us. That's a big run on sentence by the way.

That's creative advertising that's what that is. The most efficient light source would depend on what light level you were looking for and possibly other enviromental factors, not to mention output duration. There are lots of light technologies.

o i thought they was being honest i was thinking thats just crazy cool i mean 300 lumens 75 hours for 3 d cells

It's 300 lumens OR 75 hours, not AND.

Pretty sure gas is still best for a lantern anyways.

I don't know if lumens is anything worthy of a specification for a lantern, but Coleman has a propane one at Walllllmart that says 1546 lumens on it or something on it.



EDIT: This one.
