Camping goods manufacturer Coleman has pulled off a clever piece of design with their Quad LED Lantern. By taking the old-school form factor of an actual lantern, then turning what would be the four glass faces into LED panels, they've created an object that provides 360-degree illumination—but allows four people to each snap off their own light source as needed.
Each panel has its own controls, and can run for "up to 75 hours" (on dimmer settings, we presume).
The core itself actually serves as the recharging dock.
Lastly, the LEDs—which put out 190 lumen—remain cool to the touch even after the lamp has been on for extended periods.
