Looked up on Amazon several led lanterns - some are foldable, 4 in 1 lanterns (4 individual units used separately or together), square, Energizer, Coleman .. want one which is at least 11 inches tall.Noticed some are solar, rechargeable, and others were D batteries.So decided to come over here and ask y'all which ones you have and which ones you prefer or would get next time ..

I always had memories of the old Coleman Red Lantern we had growing up as a kid, smell of that gas. So when I saw one of these at Costco we snapped it up, not LED but wish it was. It's been great. If I found an LED version that looked like this, I'd buy a second one.

Even older school here. Still using what went west in the wagons, a kerosene lantern. Not much light but it does not attract the bugs either. If anything it might repel them some. Have one of those explosive Coleman liquid gas lanterns too, complete with spare mantles. Don't use that one except during power outages at home.The new LEDs are nice I suppose. Too much light but love them in those strap on headlights. Light always where you need it.

I also have had the gas, propane and flourescent lanterns. I found this one and at 30 hr runtime on 4-D size batteries. It is very bright and can hang many different ways. Clicky

It doesn't share the same looks but this lantern looks interesting, especially the fact that each of the four lights is detachable if need be.

Bayco rechargeable LED trouble light.I don't like to light up the neighbor's sites only my own. I like the directional light compared to a regular 360 degree lantern.Comes with a magnet mount and a fold out wire hanger. Lasts for an entire weekend between charges. Includes both a 12vdc charging cord and a 120vac charging cord.

Walmart is where I got mine. $20. I like it so much I bought 4 of them.

I imagine other places sell them also.

I have two Colleman gas lanterns one single and one double mantell, and also have one that the Nato forces use, that sucker can light the whole park at full power, also have the smaller kerosene lamps with citronella lamp oil, and a few kerosene yacht lamps.

Nice glow and no mosquitoes and no need for the generator, and have led's inside the RV when boondoking.
