Product Description
The Coleman 4D Dual Action WideBeam Flashlight is like two lights in one. Use the focused beam for practical path lighting, or the innovative WideBeam to shed a 140° angle of area lighting, more closely matching the human field of peripheral vision. The WideBeam’s Xenon blue-tipped bulb provides a whiter light, for greater visibility. The light’s flat surface base allows you to stand the Flashlight upright, for hands-free area lighting. The soft rubber handle makes it easy to carry, and the shock-absorbing head means it will withstand heavy use. The Dual Action WideBeam Flashlight runs on 4 D-cell batteries (not included). Limited 3-year warranty.Product Description
The Coleman 5308-700 Widebeam 4D Dual-action Flashlight provides a bright, portable light for any occasion. This dual-action flashlight has a regular path light that gives you a center-spot of light with a softer perimeter of light, plus a seven-watt U-tube fluorescent area light to brighten a work area. The Coleman Widebeam also has a flat surface base which allows the light to stand up-right when using the area lighting function. The regular flashlight beam is 50-percent broader than traditional flashlights, and the use of a Xenon blue-tipped bulb provides a whiter light. Additionally, this Coleman flashlight is designed with a 140-degree beam of light to more closely match the human peripheral field of vision.
Features include a soft rubber handle, durable shock absorbing head, and push-button on/off switch. The Coleman Widebeam Dual-action flashlight requires four D batteries (not included).

I wanted a flashlight-lantern combination for power outages and camping. I found only two models of this type in my area and went with the Coleman. I’ve used it three times and on the last time in my time of need: (Hurricane Ike and the ensuing power failure), this thing failed me. Thought it was the battery but it was not. It is the switch. The switch won’t activate the light. Luckily, I had another one but a different model that I’ve used for many years that keeps coming through for me. The fit and finish of the coleman seems flimsy….almost frail. This product shouldn’t use the coleman name. Get something else that is more durable and reliable.

I have one of these stashed in each room and in the trunk of the car. In rolling blackout season you can safely illuminate a surprisingly wide area with one light. They’re very bright and the base is stable so you can easily set them upright to shine up at the ceiling like a lamp without them falling over. The fact that it doubles as both a flashlight and a lantern makes this product a lot more useful than the standard Coleman lantern (or a regular flashlight) to me.
For the other reviewer: to insert batteries you will need a screwdriver or a coin. There’s a big screw toward the front of the flashlight that you remove to pop off the main light and insert the batteries.

We have a dual action Coleman flashlight that is over 10 years old and is still going great. A few plastic pieces are missing, so we decided to get a newer version. We ordered this item. It’s very attractive. But when we loaded it up with batteries, only the lantern was working, so we thought that the bulb for the flashlight was bad. No problem we can change that. Before we got to do that however, the flashlight was sitting on a table in “off” mode, and all of a sudden the lantern turned on by itself. The control switch could not turn it off. We had to remove the batteries. I eventually tested the bulb in our other older reliable Coleman and nothing is wrong with it. So it means that the flashlight part is not working. It has a label on it which says “China”, so maybe that is where it was made. Beware!!

I was really disappointed in this flashlight. If you want one with really intense light, buy the Big Kahuna 95 LED for under $30.

This was a really great flashlight in both modes, once I figured out how to install the batteries. But it did not survive tumbling from the cupboard under the sink to the linoleum kitchen floor. Now nothing works, and I’ve only had it for eight months.
It seems like the switch might be flaky.
