Lanterns

#1 Post by ro78 »

Hi i broke my lantern at the weekend.It was a standard gas one for about €25.I was thinking of buying a more expensive one. Id like to know do people use lanterns or do they just rely on headlamps. Could anyone recommend a good one. Thanks.

I have a Coleman Northstar (dual fuel), I payed 120 euro for it. It's very bright!

Definitely have to agree with you. Excellent lantern - and a bonus is the heat it gives off (handy in the winter)

yeah have to agree i have a coleman two mantle lantern but kinda only use it in the winter season as one of them in the beach shelter on a pissy nite is great for the comfort , well worth investing , only downfall is the mantles can be a bit delicate in transportation ., :lol:

I have to agree there a lantern is handy for the heat light and comfort they give off in a beach buddy.

I see coleman are making up these gas heaters they would be handy for an all nighter 7 hours of heat
