  • Buying guide

    When choosing a outdoor sporting lantern first take note of when and where you will be using it.

    A lantern you want to take backpacking should be light weight and consider using battery powered lantern so that you will not have to carry extra fuel with you. If you choose to carry a one that requires a fuel try and match the fuel type to your camping stove

    If you plan to use the lantern in a tent a battery powered lantern is a good idea as well, because there is less fire risk. Many lanterns provide a dimmer switch to allow the light to be bright or dim. This type of switch can save you energy and let your lantern go longer.

    If you don't need too much light a candle lantern is a good idea. They can last many hours and aren't very expensive or heavy to carry.
