The dual tube florescent lantern will lite our site and the dual mantle Coleman on a 20 pound tank, hung high will light up a parking lot. We only use them when we walk the dogs at night to keep the critters from thinking the dogs are snack crackers and cheese and then turn them back off because I like it dark too.
