Fire-Maple Orange Camping Lantern Glass, Steel & Aluminum | Propane or Isobutane Fuel Canister Beautiful Lights | NO Mantles Needed | Propane Lanterns for Camping, Emergency Essential

This is a really nice candle-style butane lantern. It burns clean and bright, and flickers like a candle. You can crank it up as high as you want until it starts making black smoke. I enjoy using this as a desk lantern while surfing the web in the evening, or listening to music with the lights down. It's perfect for a warm ambience, you can carry it and see where you're going around the house late at night, will be very helpful during a power outage, but you're not going to be able to read a book next to it in the dark. You'll have to go with an LED lamp (and deal with battery power) for that.I have two other butane lanterns in the class, made by Camping Moon. They're essentially the exact same burner mechanism, and they are very nice too, maybe even better looking. But what I don't like about those, is that you have to removed the glass pipe to light them, and the two rubber rings that hold the glass in place can deform and eventually wear out. This Fire-Maple allows you to either spin the globe and light it from the opening, or just pop the globe off, light it, and pop it back on.The Camping Moon model comes in a very nice wooden box which securely holds the lantern for travel and storage. The Fire-Maple comes in a basic 2-piece plastic container, and the lantern rattles around inside of it. Frankly, I like both designs and they perform equally well, but I prefer the Fire-Maple slightly more for its easy lighting. Also, you can set the flame about 30% higher with the FM, though you'll run through butane faster of course.These butane "candle" style lanterns, regardless of brand, are going to offer "maybe" 2x the light of a wax candle, and that depends on wick height, etc. Tea lights may likely provide more runtime, and butane is an expense to consider, and paraffin oil lamps are another option to consider.Personally, I own and love them all. You just need to decide which you prefer for different occasions.

This is a very nice compact lamp. It provides a warm glow and nice atmosphere. The lamp comes with a convenient protective case as well. I recommend purchasing the adapter for small propane bottles also.

Loved this little lantern. Perfect for the evening sitting outside the tent

I use this lantern for RV travel,. I would not carry it backpacking because it is a bit too heavy and large for that IMO. I do love this lantern though! I think it is very attractive and well made. It offers a much safer option for candle light than an actual candle or oil lantern. There is no mess or clean up. It comes in a nice plastic case for easy storage, and runs forever, it seems, on a 100 gr canister. They claim a burn rate of 4gr per hour, but on a low setting, I think it is longer. I have not yet done an actual test. I took off one star for ease of use, because it does not have a piezo igniter. It requires a separate lighter or match. In today's world, omitting the igniter is just not OK. They were thoughtful enough to include a gas jet cleaning tool. Very nice. With the exception of the igniter, I highly recommend it. I really enjoy beginning and ending my day by candle light. This product accomplishes that safely and with class.

Took this camping and it very easy to start and pack away when not needed. I was curious how safe it would be and it’s completely contained and actually fun to use.

Very cool lantern. Packed really well too.

The media could not be loaded. So, the Fire-Maple Orange Camping Lantern is pretty much a showstopper. It's got that vibe that makes your camping buddies go, "Ooh, where'd you get that?" Made from glass, steel, and aluminum, it's sturdy and has that classy look that makes you feel like you're camping in style. It's versatile too, working with propane or isobutane canisters, and the best part? No hassle with mantles. Just turn it on, and you're good to go.But here's the thing—it's not all perfect. The flame control can be a real mood killer. Imagine trying to set the mood or just get enough light without playing a guessing game. Kinda annoying, right?And the price? It's up there. You'd kinda expect everything to be spot on for what you're paying. So, while it's a beauty and can definitely add some pizzazz to your camping gear, be ready to deal with a bit of frustration. If you're cool with that and have the cash to splash, go for it. Otherwise, you might want to keep looking.

Beautiful light. Love this for when you can’t have a pit fire still need a flame of some sort at a campsite. It’s easy to pack up and store in my kit, will use it more in the winter then in the summer. I don’t really want a flame when it’s 100 degrees but it’s going to be very handy.
