"I bought one of these in a package deal off of eBay I got for an awesome price. I have used it once on a weekend trip it worked very nice it was very soft and pleasant unlike the light from a LED lantern. I have used many different lanterns candles, white gas, kerosene, propane, led and bulb types."

"This is a great lantern that can be used for different types of outdoor activities. I use mine for both backpacking and kayak camping.

A great feature to consider is the piezo electric start, makes lighting it much easier than dealing with matches or lighter."

"80 Watts of light in this tiny package -- sweet. Two weeks after I bought it, they came out with a 120 watt. You may want to consider that. The best thing about this model is its compactness and brightness. Light is bright and easily adjustable down to candle brightness."
