Coleman Exponent F1 Lite Lantern

I wanted to share this unboxing to setting up the Coleman F1 Lite Lantern from beginning to end. So enjoy the product review. I give this a 4.5/5.00 based on cost + weight. The only thing that it lacks is serious candle power but this is a slight disadvantage for what you are getting.

\\Weighs only 3.2oz/88g
\\Uses #51-104 mantle
