Product Description:

Meet Mr. Coleman, born in in 1972 as a fuel burning lantern. Mr. Coleman lived the life...lighting campsites all over the US. In the early 2000's, Mr. Coleman's generator gave out, basically making him useless as a lantern. Sure he could've had a generator transplant, but he figured he was too old, and would never get approved for this type of transplant. He made his way out to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and was given the chance to be converted to an electric indoor lantern. Now Mr. Coleman wasn't too sure at first about lighting up the indoors, as outdoors was his comfort zone, but none-the-less he gave in to the conversion. When asked how he felt after the conversion, he responded "I feel a bit like Bob Dylan did when he switched from acoustic to electric."
