I was wanting to upgrade my existing lanterns. I thought the Northstar would be the one. Was I disappointed. While it looked good. it was no brighter than my $20 off brand lantern. As I've seen from other contributors, The mantles are exceptionally delicate. I have to put a new mantle on each and every trip. I've had mantles last for three trips on my olds lanterns. Then to top it off, it was blown over in a gust of wind and broke the globe. I haven't been able to find a reasonable replacement in a year plus.

The Coleman Northstar lantern is the brightest lantern I own, and I own a bunch of lanterns. I have used it on every camping trip I have been on for the past 6 years and it always fires right up. It is noisy, kinda sounds like a jet getting ready to take off, but I hang it on a tree away from the fire and you don't hear it much. It will run around 5 hours on a fresh small propane tank. It is also durable. I have stored this lantern without a case it's whole life so far, and have never broken the globe.I recommend this lantern for anyone who likes to light up the night.

If anybody out there has recently acquired a Northstar 2500 propane lantern it will feel cheap and flimsy compared to the great lanterns Coleman produced in the 70s and earlier years. The heavy gauge metal components and thick porcelain finish that set the standard used on those early Coleman products are absent in the Northstar. Don't expect the electronic ignition to work reliably ether. The one on mine took 5 pushes to ignite the lamp the first time and hasn't worked again since. In fact I suggest Coleman leave this feature off because they will just get people ticked-off when they try to use it. The only new feature worth having is the protective metal cage that surrounds the glass globe. I'm not saying the Northstar doesn't produce acceptable light, it does in ... MoreIf anybody out there has recently acquired a Northstar 2500 propane lantern it will feel cheap and flimsy compared to the great lanterns Coleman produced in the 70s and earlier years.

I owned a NorthStar lantern for many years and when the gas valve got stripped out I was gifted another for Father’s Day. It fell while still in the box and the globe broke. I decided to try the glove from my old NorthStar lantern and it had been redesigned. Where before one top screw had to be taken off to change the mantels or globe it now requires a similar to screw but also 4 tiny screws that’s are difficult for my stiff old fingers. What a disaster of redesign to take a simple and beautiful design and make it as complex as possible. Duh!
I have and still use a dual fuel lantern and rate it a 5 star, however we decided to purchase an LP lantern and chose the Northstar. I had high expectations however the electric start igniter is at the bottom of the lantern and the globe fills up with fuel then it ignites. A audible pop sounds off and so many times after the lantern cools down the globe has cracked from the pressure. I no longer use the igniter and use a lighter and light from the top. I have replaced more globes in 3 years on the Northstar than I have on my Duel Fuel in 25 years.....Is it bright? For sure, but I hate the lantern.......
Mantles not available at Walmart or Bass Pro even though I bought the lantern at Walmart two years ago. They are currently $10.49 for a four pack on Amazon. I guess you are paying for brightness, not durability. The lantern is bright, but don't expect a used mantle to be in one piece when you need your lantern next time, like when your power goes out at home. Always have a spare ready.I would recommend the older style, slightly less bright lantern with mantles that are much cheaper, much more durable, and available even in your local hardware store.
I purchased my Northstar several years ago for car camping for scouts and hunting, long before it had the feet sticking out of the base. It was never brighter than the standard two mantle propane lantern from Coleman and it hogs the gas. It also has the electric start but is very hard to start without feeling like I am going to blow up my camp. Now, even with a new mantle, it's very dim. Won't get as bright as when it was new which was never bright enough for the hype. I can't find any information on what to do about it. I am very disappointed with the overall performance that I have received with this product. I hope their new products are of a higher quality. All my other Coleman stuff has been of the highest quality but this product was very over rated from the ... MoreI purchased my Northstar several years ago for car camping for scouts and hunting, long before it had the feet sticking out of the base.

I'm not really sure how to rate this! I had issue with the fact that in all my efforts to retrieve the storage case failed! It also had some damage as there was a sizeable chip in the ventilator hood! On the other hand customer service offered solutions to somewhat my satisfaction but I was still disappointed not having protection for my lantern.
I miss the days when 1 lantern was all that was needed for a group to fish at night. Recent years it seems as though everyone now needs their own lantern. The northstar brings that back. First outing and it was just like the old days as a child growing up and going every weekend to the fishing hole and having plenty of light for my parents, my three siblings and also my aunt and uncle. And getting up there in age my eyes are starting to feel the effects of time and what is nearly impossible with most lanterns I can now tie up a new line with so much less mishaps. Would rate higher but I’m not sure on the durability of the lantern at this time. So far I’m very impressed. Most light I’ve had in years.
I am on my second one. The first lasted two years (heavy use) before just falling apart. I bought the same one as I was traveling, and that was what was available.Now I come to this site, to see which mantle I need to replace the current model.Surprise! Coleman provides no info whatsoever! Evidently the people who make this, do not care if it works for you, or not. The customer service is rock bottom!
