  • Awesome Mini-Heater and It Also Gives Off a Lot of Light!
The media could not be loaded. I love this lantern. In the old days, fuel lanterns like these were an absolute must for camp lighting. Nowadays, it is not my first go to for camp lighting with advent of LEDs. If I set my Luci LED lantern out in the sun for a day, it will light up my camp/tent for two or three evenings on that one charge and weighs less than 125g, which weighs less than even the smallest fuel cylinder for this lantern {ASIN: B01IIV1OC0}. It will do this for months on end. Carbon impact for 4 months use - ZERO. How many fuel cylinders is that in a lantern? What I really use this Primus lantern for nowadays is both light and/or HEAT. If it is too cool or cold, fire this thing up inside the tent, and you will be warm and toasty in no time. If I need to break camp at the crack of dawn and there is dew everywhere, few camp tools will dry out the tent surfaces better than firing up this compact lantern inside the tent for a few minutes. A huge plus. You can then break down and roll up a DRY not soggy tent. In cold weather, I suggest hanging the lantern ready to go in the tent at bedtime, then you can reach out of your sleeping bag and fire it up with the built in piezo lighter (it's fast and easy - check the video) and retreat to the comfort of your sleeping bag while the Primus heats up your tent until it is ok to come out of your cocoon. It is a good source of light, but with all of the advantages of the modern solar chargeable camp lights, it is hard not to regularly use them for your light sources and conserve your fuel. Additionally, the HEAT produced from the lantern while helpful, can also be hazardous, so for casual light, I use the solar lantern when possible, especially inside the tent and if kids are around. Inside the tent, use the hanger (maybe with extensions depending on your tent height ) to keep this thing away from the tent surfaces, and that way you can’t tumble it over and ruin your spendy sleeping bag. If the business metal parts of the unit touches anything fabric while in use, it’s flame on! Since I don’t need to squeeze every single photon from this lantern, the compact metal screen on this lantern is a perfect choice for me. Very practical . . . rough handling; no broken glass globes. It comes with a sturdy carrying bag. Make sure to get some spare Primus mantles to bring with you, also, there are many other brands of mantles on Amazon that fit at a better price. If you can do most of your camp lighting with the LEDs, you can really lighten your load burden by carrying less fuel. This has a great compact form factor for me for both car and ATV camping. It is also light enough to use for some backpacking and many backpacking stoves use this same fuel cylinder. Ready for action; the carry bag, the lantern head with mantle, and two spare mantles, weigh in at 157 grams. Adapters allow you to mate this lantern with other less expensive (and heavier to carry) fuel sources if long term use is needed. See ASIN: B00SR6OVOA and ASIN: B00CFPISZW. I am very happy with this lantern, I recommend it, and would buy it again. Sorry about the photo order, you cannot place them so some are out of order. ... show more

  • Great for car camping.
Ok, bought it for backpacking, its not "too heavy" if you are going U/L you might just want a headlamp. This lamp is robust and well made. I had an electric lantern along on our recent trip - either " would have worked" but the Scouts seemed to prefer the very bright light from this... it really does light up the entire camp site for board games or whatever. I guess it would be a hand warmer heater as well if you were cold. It has a very nice bag that rolls up and keeps it safe. It has a wonderful wire string to hang it from a branch (should you not have a table to set it on). The bag seems like a must because it has one of those "burn down" elements that make it so bright (like a propane lamp). I was a little worried that the element would not hold up when it was disassembled but it seems to have stayed in tact well. Feel like I have to buy a back element up at some point though. It lights well without matches. It feels about a bright as one of those dual element Coleman propane lanterns (same kind of light profile). So why not 5 stars... it seemed to burn a good amount of fuel the night we used it (over used it?). Anyway if I was backpacking more than just the weekend I am not sure I would take it along due to the fuel usage and weight. Its nice it runs on the same stuff as the stove, and it will be in my camper. But for backpacking - maybe a little heavy with the bag and fuel considerations. I would take it if there are a number of us going - it is a great group activity light. IT is a HIGH quality product all in all. If you were planning to use it car camping I would give it 6 stars, IT IS SO much better than the aforementioned bulky coleman and the element seems more robust. But for backpacking I just like it. ... show more

  • Backcountry campers will absolutely LOVE this Lantern!!!
I heard about this product from Aron Snyder on the Gritty Bowmen podcast (awesome western hunting podcast by the way - check it out if you are interested in hunting the west!) and I must say that it is one of my favorite pieces of gear for hunting in the backcountry. This unit is extremely lightweight (weighs about 4 ounces) and comes with its own handy bag to protect it from bumping around in your pack. It is extremely durable - the globe is actually made out of steel mesh (the description says something about a frosted glass cover which is incorrect - there is no glass in this unit). I pack in about 4 miles (and 3000 vertical feet) to my high country camp in Colorado and had no issue with the mantle breaking - I do carry spares just in case. It is super easy to use - has its own striker so it is easy to reach out of your sleeping bag and fire it up early in the morning without any effort. It is extremely bright (and therefore super hot - don't put anything flammable in close proximity because it will catch them on fire) but has an adjustable burner so you can adjust the brightness to what you need. This unit is extremely fuel efficient - I used it all week in the morning and the evening and my fuel canister still feels totally full. It has a handy hook on a wire handle so you can hang it up around camp if you want. It uses the same type of fuel that you would use on a Jetboil type of stove so it is handy to have a couple of things that use a common item when your camp is carried in on your back. I would highly recommend this product and won't be caught in the high country without it in the future. ... show more
