Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Get 360-degrees of nightlight for your campsite. A steel mesh globe protects your mantle offering extra durability for packing with no glass to break. Expect about 8.5 hours of burn time on one can of isobutane fuel (not included). Throw it in the included stuff sack and hit the trail for an overnighter. Uses isobutane fuel (fuel not included). Rating: approximately 65 watts/27 candlepower. Burn time: up to 8.5 hours at high output. Piezo electric ignition. Steel mesh globe. Includes stuff sack and two mantles. Size: 4.5" x 2.6" Weight: 5.8 oz."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Brunton Lucy Lantern gives you the light quality and quantity of a mantle lantern, but you don't risk breaking a glass globe. Instead, a steel mesh globe surrounds the Lucy's mantle, which protects it from harm without adding more breakable parts. Piezo-electric ignition is easy and convenient to use. The Lucy packs away into a small nylon case and drops into your pack without worry about the other camping gear that could squish it or bash into it. Use both Brunton and Coleman medium lantern mantles with the Lucy. *This lantern piezo ignites at altitudes below 8,000 feet. Carry a lighter for higher altitude trips."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"As simple as flipping the switch at home. Click the piezo electric button and get instant , adjustable campsite lighting with your Brunton Lucy Lantern. Mesh globe for no-worry packing."

From CampSaver.com:
"Get 360 degrees of nightlight for your campsite. A steel mesh globe protects your mantle offering extra durability for packing with no glass to break. Expect about 8.5 hours of burn time on one can of Bruntane fuel. Throw it in the included stuff sack and hit the trail for an overnighter."

"Bought this item to replace my Primus EasyLite because I kept breaking globes on my ATV camping trips. Doesn't give out the equivalent light output stated or what the Primus gave out, but it is a great product, very light weight, very durable, compact, and fuel efficient-which is important when operating isobutane appliances."

"This is a great little lantern. And yes you have to pre-burn the mantle before you put on the mesh globe. After the globe is on and you fire this baby up I think it is perfect. Why but why must every camper light up their campsite and the next several."

"The lantern is lightweight and extremly compact. It comes with a great carrying case. It is bright enough to light up a picnic table.

The only thing that is really annoying is the mantle. It is extremly fragile. I went through five mantles in two days because they kept breaking."

"For almost the same price I'd sugguest the Primus Easy Light over the Lucy which is a lot brighter. The Lucy has a 'questionable' 65W of output. Good thing is you can't break it."

"This small lightweight lantern is really cool. It gives pretty bright light and it is compact when carrying. I've only used it once and it worked well except that my mantle got burned up. I think I just need to play with it more to see how I can prevent that from happening. Great for backpacking."
