Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"When you need a powerful car-camping lantern or a compact camp light for backpacking, pick up the Primus MicroLantern. This lightweight lantern mounts directly on a standard fuel canister, and features a durable metal mesh net instead of a glass globe. The piezo igniter makes for quick, hassle-free lighting, and an attached wire makes for easy hanging in camp. The efficient, adjustable (up to 70W) burner uses very little fuel and stays virtually silent, so you can play cards without sounding like there's a jet engine in camp."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The Micron family is growing! The MicronLantern is a compact, lightweight and durable lantern that provides light and warmth when you need small dimensions, low weight and durability. Manufactured with a durable, rustproof mesh net instead of glass. The EasyTrigger ignition system allows for quick and easy lighting. The patented burner ensures that the lantern is virtually silent and uses little LP gas. The variable light output is adjustable up to 70 W. Comes with a nylon stuff sack."

From REI:
"The Micron is a compact, durable outdoor lantern with integrated, patented piezo ignition—great for backpacking. Vary the light intensity continuously up to 70 watts for illumination around camp. Fitted with a stainless steel mesh globe instead of glass to increase durability and overall use. Patented burner design means that this lantern burns almost silently and has a very low rate of gas consumption. Withstands the roughest treatment, making it perfect for all activities that demand light weight, compact size and durability. Lantern burns on prefilled butane canisters including Primus, MSR and Snow Peak (not included). Burns 6 - 12 hrs. on 220g fuel canister; 12 - 24 hrs. on a 450g canister. Closeout."

"I really like this lantern. Plenty of light for a campsite. The light weight makes perfect for backpacking. Gives off a lot of heat too...so it doubles as a hand warmer."
