Open: 4.875 in. x 2.7 in. x 1.9 in. Durable metalized lower case. Push-button control. Space-saving handle nests against top cap. Operates on four Alkaline AA cell batteries, included. Operates up to 12 hours on low. Weight: 8 oz."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Small in size, but big on light and features the Coleman 4AA Exponent Pack-Away Lantern is an excellent addition to any camping trip."

From REI:
"Coleman® Pack-Away lantern is so easy to use, easy to pack and easy to carry, there's no reason to leave electric light at home! Lantern provides the super brightness of a two-watt LED yet only draws the power of a one-watt bulb. Patented Pack-Away design automatically turns light off when lantern is collapsed, preventing accidental battery drainage. Single push-button operates high, low and strobe modes; regulated circuit provides consistent light throughout batteries' run time. Measures only 3.2 inches high closed; space-saving handle nests against the top of the cap. LEDs cast an even, white light, are nearly indestructible and significantly extend battery life compared to incandescent bulbs. Includes four AA batteries and a lightweight carabiner for hanging unit from a limb or inside a tent (carabiner not intended for climbing)."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Coleman Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern fits in your pocket when closed and its Cree XLamp XR-E LED bulb offers 95 lumens of light on its highest setting. The lantern also features a slightly dimmer, energy-saving low setting and an emergency strobe that can increase your visibility to rescuers. You won't have to worry about lighting a match in the rain, because this light operates on four AA batteries (included). Coleman also included a carabiner clip and a small handle, so you can hang the Pack-Away Lantern from your gear or on a skinny tree branch."

"I'm a Boy Scout and use this light every campout on my tent. It shines plenty of light everywhere in the tent. I can't go on a camping trip without it!

If it doesn't say this in the description, the lantern has three modes. High, Low, and Flashing. I love this little thing and it works really well!"

"This is a very bright and portable lantern. It feels a tad heavy in your hand, but what it affords you easily makes up for it.

It does develop a few dark spots and bands, but I do not at all find this bothersome. It is impressively bright, the advertised 105 lumens seems to be pretty accurate."

"I was on the hunt for a moderately priced led lamp. I found this and liked the compacting feature a lot. It saves space and protects the globe when packed. The 95 lumens on high is great and the 65 on low is quite adequate for playing cards, cooking or checking a campguide."

"Great little light for the money. Light weight and doesn't take up much room in the pack, which in my case is very important because I tend to carry everything in my pack and usually end up having too much weight. The batteries last a good length of time and secondly, this little unit sure beats the gas models by far. A+"

"The build and engineering on this lantern is excellent. It is compact and easy to use, suitable for mounting in different ways.

Unfortunately the light distribution was very uneven. The design of the protective plastic shroud caused distortion and a series of light bands (dark and bright lines) from the sides of the unit."
