Clam LED Fan-light or LED Coleman LED Lantern...which is better?

[Luck e 1]

So for Christmas I got one of the new Clam fan-lights with 18 led lights that hooks onto the top bar in your shelter.

I also got an LED lantern from coleman.

Just wondering what people thing about these and which would be better to use.

go out and do your own independant test--------one time on the lake will tell you which you prefer-----and when you do--let us all know

I see what you are saying...but I would rather be able to return one for some store credit rather than having two. So hopefully people can give some insight.

I have the Clam fan/light and I love it. Plenty of light and will last all night.

I 2nd that! I got about 12 hrs out of 4 AA batteries on mine. Wasn't running the fan though. Light up my Clam Nanook just fine.

The nice thing with a latern is you can use it as a heat source too, but also have the issue of burning holes in the tent.

Personally I am sticking with the Clam light from now on.

Going to put a couple in the permanent shack as well!

I personally think you can never have too many ways to light the house up. I carry two LED lanterns and an LED head lamp. And I'm looking to pick up one of the Clam lights. If one fails, you're not in trouble. For the price, its good insurance for a good fishing outing.

The small Clam LED light/fan is really a good deal IMHO. I bought one and once I can get out and try it, might pick up another one!!!

I got the clam fan/light combo and wasn't too excited about it as I had another fan/light combo and wasn't all impressed but for $15 I decided to keep it and give it a try. Well I am impressed as it gave off enough light and the fan is a nice tool to have. I am actually going to pick-up another one for my x2. If I were you I would take the led lantern back.....my only complaint with the clam light is the strap that is came with doesn't fit around the beefed up poles in the x2 so I used the metal ring

The lantern he got is an LED lantern though, so no heat. I agree with everyone alse, take that back and keep the Clam
