Based partly on the glowing review of this glowing item by a fella in Florida (I won't mention his name but his initials are C H U C K), i popped for a candle lantern.
I got it from America's favorite outdoor shop, WalMart. It cost me about $20 and i got some extra 9-hour candles with it. It "figured out" easy, set up, lit up and worked right away. Hey, how tough is it to light a candle?
I will take it this week out to the swamp and burn through a couple of candles. I seems real wind proof and in the real dark, after a few minutes, it gives about exactly one candle power of light. Some engineer, Chinese no doubt, worked that out on his 'puter i'll bet.
Chuck (oops...) said he hangs his in his tent. i am not sure i have a hanger loop in mine. if not, it will be there by the next trip. It should be nice to have along, as it gets REALLY DARK in the swamp and sometimes having "fire" already going is a good thing.
I'll let you know how it al works out. piper
