Many home-improvement projects, landscaping duties and even automotive repairs take place in poorly lit areas. For any light working in these types of environments, durability is a must – as well as versatility and enough light-generating power to facilitate faster, safer and more efficient work.
The new Coleman LED Worklights bring three different models for the handy (and not-so-handy) person in the home. Modeled after today’s must-have power tools in terms of design and performance, two of the new LED Worklights are 6V XPS compatible, allowing a 4D battery or rechargeable power pack to be interchanged among any Coleman XPS-compatible product for added efficiency and lower cost of ownership.
The 4D XPS High Power LED Flashlight and 4D XPS High Power LED Worklight offer 220 lumens of light output through a Cree Xlamp XR-E LED and 20 hours of continuous run time. With over-molded handles for a comfortable grip during long projects and capable of accommodating gloved hands, the Worklight also offers the versatility of a pivoting head for multi-directional illumination and a thru-hole-for-carabiner attachment.
The 4AA LED Worklight provides 150 lumens of light output and boasts a 17-hour run time and is designed to keep hands free when working. Also capable of functioning as a hand-held light, the 4AA LED Worklight has a pivoting head and body that allows the light to stand up when placed on the ground as well as a pivoting hanger for overhead light. A rotating bezel focuses the light from spot to flood and a hi/low setting ensures optimal brightness and run time.
Whether it’s a late-night
plumbing problem, a flat tire on the camper or finishing up renovations
to a dream home, the new Coleman LED Worklights shed light on any
situation. Over-molded
handle for comfortable grip with wide opening to

The Coleman LED Quad Lantern launched in 2009, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most innovative, unique and user-friendly lights available to outdoor enthusiasts. Following in the wake of the original, Coleman’s new XPS LED Duo Lantern brings versatility and innovation to night anglers, boaters or campers who require something smaller.
The LED Duo Lantern functions just like the original LED Quad Lantern but with two removable panels. Featuring 12 5-mm LEDs (six per removable side panel) that never need to be replaced, the Duo Lantern may be smaller in stature but it delivers big performance. Producing 96 lumens of light output from an XPS 4D Battery Pack (6V rechargeable battery pack optional), the LED Duo Lantern will run for 76 hours – more than enough for an extended weekend stay at the campground.
Each panel, operated by a rechargeable battery, offers its own on/off switch and will run for 1.5 when removed from the docking station for quick trips to the shower house or anywhere else. Once placed back into the docking station, the panels will be recharged.
Because it’s XPS compatible, the 4D battery or rechargeable power pack can be interchanged with any Coleman XPS-compatible product for added efficiency and lower cost of ownership.
