From Vargo Outdoors:
"The most innovative efficient portable camp lantern ever: it has a built-in ignitor and you can dim it for mood or crank it up to cook or read by. It even works without a mantle!&gt5.5x2.25&gt8 oz.&gtRefills with butane lighter fluid&gt60 watts of light&gtRuns 2 hours per tank&gtFolding tri-leg base&gtElectric Piezo ignition"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Brunton Glorb refillable butane lantern is an innovative, efficient, portable camp lantern. The Glorb features a folding tri-leg base so it can stand up on uneven surfaces, a refillable butane cartridge, and easy Piezo ignition. An adjustable air intake ensures a bright, steady burn at various altitudes. A two-hour burn time allows for plenty of light by which to read or cook, and should you manage to damage your mantle, the Glorb will even work without one-the Glorb doubles as a candle lantern, too. *The lantern self-ignites at altitudes below 8,000 feet. Bring a lighter for higher-altitude trips."

From Campmor:

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"Still our most popular lantern, the Glorb wins the hearts of campers everyday. Innovative, efficient and extremely portable, the Glorb is a self-contained butane lantern with a built-in igniter and foldout base. Dim it down to set the mood, or crank it up to read by. You?ll get about 2 hours of burn time from a single tank. Use our convenient FuelTool? to fill with high performance Bruntane?."

Reviewed by Brian Seeger, Dec 19, 2004

"I do quite a bit of camping from the back of my motorcycle, and the Brunton Glorb is exquisitely small, lightweight, and (with the plastic casing) durable. For low impact, small footprint camping or hiking, I would suggest no other lamp--I just wish the mantles were more readily available."
