Favorite LED Lantern for Campsites ?

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 ..
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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 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.
