Coghlans Candle Lantern
Lightweight, Low Cost and Simple. When all the batteries are dead, rain has doused your fire, and no sun is shining for your solar charger - this will provide light. Anodized Aluminum with a brass finish. Uses low cost Tea light candles (one candle included) for up to 4-5 hours of camp light. Glass wind screen and vent holes provide reliable light even in windy conditions. Comes with a hanger to attach to a hook, rope or branch for area illumination. (If you want a unit you can also set on a surface - see the UCO model sold at sidebar. This one is designed for hanging only.) Note: These are very safe when used properly. Always use caution with fire around tents, and in dry forest conditions. Specifications: Size: 3.75" H x 2.25" W Weight: 2.5 oz. / 75g with candle Tip - Use Citronella tea light candles outdoors to keep mosquitoes at bay. Our Candle Lanterns Compared: The Coghlan is lighter and cheaper. The UCO is better made (thicker metal, glass, hooked hanger). The UCO has a larger glass surface area to let out more light. The UCO is more stable on a table top (weighted base with candle lock). We trust the locking mechanism on the UCO better (does not self open). The UCO can be handled by the base during use (Coghlan gets too hot). The UCO has a catch basin to prevent wax spills. The UCO locks the candle in place, Coghlan's moves freely inside the case. UCO has more options (reflectors, cases). The UCO has a better guarantee. So ... it depends what you are looking for - light and sufficient, or a longer lasting, better designed, more livable alternative in the UCO. Both have their place.
Also great for your emergency survival kit (earthquake or hurricane). Low cost easy to light.
