I had a couple of Coleman liquid fuel lanterns for many years, but they weren't as reliable as the propane ones that replaced them. Even when I was trying to take a pic to compare the light output, the Coleman fuel one just wouldn't cooperate.
As time went on, I moved from corded power tools, to cordless ones.
The 18V Dewalt fluorescent worklight is great. It has a cover over the bulb to protect it, and direct the light. If I need 360 lighting, the cover slides off. Stays cool to the touch, no worries of it falling over and starting a fire.
It will run about 3.5 hours per battery. I always bring spare batteries, and the charger. I prefer to do this, rather than haul liquid fuel, or even 1 lb. propane bottles.
I still have two propane lanterns, and I keep them around for extended power outages at home since we live in hurricane prone FL.
I bet by now that they have LED Dewalt lights that would be even more efficient, and more reliable, then your fluorescent.
