Product Details
Description
Save money on fuel when you're lighting the way with a Coleman® Kerosene Lantern. It's powered by Coleman® Kerosene, which is out most cost-efficient fuel source. The single-mantle design of this lantern creates a steady, bright glow of up to 700 lumens of light that reaches up to 11 meters away. To get your lantern started, simply add some rubbing alcohol (sold separately) to the primer cup, light the alcohol with a match, then dial in the perfect brightness with the adjustable control knob. Once your lantern is lit, the fuel tank provides a steady base when placed on a table, and the bail handle allows for easy hanging. When you're ready to head home, so is this lantern since it doesn't require any disassembly, which means it's always ready to go with you on your next bright adventure.
- 700 lumens on high casts light up to 11 meters

Very nice lantern
Nice little lantern. Throws out quite a bit of light!
Not a fan of how the ventilator is attached to the lantern via the bail though.

Great Lantern, like all Coleman Lanterns
Classic kerosene lantern from Coleman. I do like the new adjustments available versus my 50's/60's white gas lanterns.

A Rugged, Bright, and Reliable Lantern
This lantern is a beast! The Coleman 639C puts out a ton of light—easily enough to light up a whole campsite, backyard, or even a good-sized room during a power outage. The glow is bright, steady, and white, so it actually feels like daylight compared to smaller lanterns.
Build quality is excellent. It feels heavy-duty and solid, not like the flimsy stuff you see today. With a little care, I can easily see this lasting for decades, much like other Coleman lanterns I own.
One thing worth mentioning is that it does require a quick preheating step before lighting. Honestly, it’s a very minor extra step—just a quick prime with alcohol—and after that the lantern roars to life and runs smoothly. In practice, it adds less than a minute to setup and is more than worth it for the performance you get.
What I really like is the flexibility of kerosene as a fuel. It’s cheaper than Coleman fuel, easy to find almost anywhere, and it stores really well. It gives me peace of mind that I’ll always have fuel on hand.
Between the quality construction, impressive brightness, and the practicality of kerosene fuel, the Coleman 639C is a true workhorse. If you’re looking for a lantern that balances durability with excellent light output, this one is hard to beat.
Bottom line: if you want a lantern that’s super bright, tough as nails, and fuel-flexible, the 639C is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
