The Coleman will not make it through a week long camping trip unless you use it sparingly. The soft light, warm glow and gentle hum of a gas lantern burning in the night has captivated our primitive needs for generations. Everybody understands—you’re in the woods, it’s nighttime, it’s dark—you’ve got to have your own autonomous lighting out there.
His propane lantern has two mantle bags, whereas mine has one long mantle that stretches from the top to the bottom. This picture shows pretty clearly the difference in brightness and color. I thought the propane lantern was going to be my favorite.
These instructions were written to help you safely light and operate an old lantern that you have not lit before, or has been in storage for a very long time. We lit campfires, cooked, played board games, had parties, and even chopped wood on moonless nights with this lantern. During one of our parties, we put the Northstar near Grandma when she was chilly. This lantern does make coleman sleeping bag a bit of a hissing sound when it is lit, and when the fuel is about to run out it makes a rather loud whistling noise.

Of course you still have to buy the lanterns, so lets take a look at the cost of buying a new lantern. Prices will vary from store to store, but they are all going to be in the same ballpark. The specs say this LED lantern will run for 85 hours on hi. That brings the operating cost to $0.14 per hour. If you run these lanterns on low, it costs much less per hour to operate.
See the chart below for all the figures side by side. If you want to drop the operating cost, then all you have to do is fill the tank with unleaded gasoline. At an average price of $2.50 a gallon, that will bring the operating cost to $0.07 per hour. I put new coleman sleeping bag batteries in mine the beginning of the year, and it was still going strong at the end of the camping season. Its great not having to worry about bringing extra fuel along. Check out my Rechargeable Camping Lanterns post to see the other lanterns I reviewed.
