Weehooker is on the right track. Lanterns look cool in the store and are fine for car camping or taking along with a group, but a headlamp is much more practical and very light. I became a convert after I bought mine and found that having two hands free is a big benefit. I have a Princeton Tec Aurora, but the Quad Weehooker mentioned has one more LED than mine and isn't much bigger. REI sells them, as do a lot of other stores.

Headlamps are great for walking at night, reading in your tent, cooking and just about anything else. Sure, they look kind of dorky, but out in the woods, who cares.
