What are the Better Models of Camping Lanterns
When you go camping you don't want to get stuck in the dark so
you will agree that camping lanterns are a very essential part
of your equipment and they should be on your short list of
things to take with you on your trips. When you go shopping for
a lantern you will find out that there are a lot of models that
you can choose from. A few of them are worth considering and we
will take a look at some of them.
One of the best lanterns out there nowadays is the "Brunton
Liberty Lantern". It is a small and compact type that is powered
by butane and the fact that there are no mantels or glass globes
will make climbers and hikers very happy. The price is very low
so most people will be able to buy it.
Also from Brunon there is the "Lucy Lantern" which runs on
isobutene and is also very compact. A key feature is the
electric ignition which is fumble-free, it also has a mesh globe
which is very durable. The estimated burn time is about 8.5
hours and with 65 watts it has a pretty good brightness
rating.
A big name in camping equipment is of course Coleman and a list
would not be complete without one of their lanterns and the best
from them must be the "Coleman Exponent Lantern". It fits in
most back pockets, has a ventilator which will not rust because
of the porcelain coating, the fuel tank can resist corrosion
then it is also coated and the design has a single mantle, this
burns, when on low, for seven hours or, when on high, for three
hours under normal circumstances.
It will burn on the clean fuel from Coleman which is more
compact then any disposable cartridge. A thing to keep in mind
is the fact that a lot of camping stoves run on white fuel, like
this lantern, and that makes it a better candidate for becoming
your next camping lantern because you will only need one type
fuel which will help in keeping your baggage light.
Going on a camping trip is fun and the preparation on itself is
fun too, making sure that you have everything that is on you
list and thinking if you missed anything that should have been
on there but that you forgot. Let's keep from getting frustrated
that you are in the dark on the first night of the trip just
because you didn't think about taking a lantern with you.
You will find that the prices will vary a lot so don't get the
first one you see but browse around a bit until you find one
that fits your need and has the right price. How much a lantern
costs should not be your main reason for buying one, things like
quality, usage and fuel type are more important. Maybe solar
energy is an option for you but make sure that you get enough
hours of light with one charging by the sun.
