Gas Lantern or Battery powered Lantern?

[mep1811]

Nothing like sound of a Coleman lantern hissing at night.

This is what I use...https://primus.us/products/easy-light-4?variant=29444431249491&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwril6ojN8AIVvP_jBx0JpweFEAAYASAAEgKBU_D_BwE

I like the ambiance and the little they put out. I have 4, very small and store them in my Decked system.

I prefer the battery-powered lights. One of the most remarkable inventions is the Crush Light Chroma by Goal Zero. It is powered with solar or USB. You can attach them to nearly everything and everywhere. Awesome product.

We use solar Luci lights. They're small, bright, and recharge on the dashboard during the day.
They are regularly on sale (we got ours 50% off last at Christmastime).

We bought some rechargeable mini lanterns that are also bug zappers from Costco. Did not expect much out of them, but surprisingly the seem to put out a decent light pattern, last quite a while and do actually kill a few mosquitoes. We hang the three of them off the awning. We have also been using the Goal Zero Crush Light Chroma, its a great tent light, and love that dims.

I use both. I have LED lights hooked to my trailer for camp site lighting, but I have a couple of different white gas lanterns, as I still use my 3 burner Coleman white gas stove. I do have the option to switch to propane if needed.
My biggest gas lantern is a Petromax 500 and my smallest one is a Coleman Peak One. The Petromax runs easily for 8 hours on a tank and puts out a tremendous amount of light (equivalent to a 500W Halogen) and easily illuminates the entire campsite. I have rechargeable LED lights that hook into my solar charge and are always charged. But neither of those LED lights beats the atmosphere of an old Coleman or Petromax fuel lantern. And if it is cold outside, those fuel lanterns provide an incredible amount of warmth (given adequate ventilation).

I use both. The old Coleman lantern is used outside and the LED is used inside the RTT.
