Is there any reason to bring a traditional burning lantern (i.e. kerosene, propane, alcohol, tealight, etc) with you while camping? Or do battery powered lanterns win in every category?
My 2-cents, battery lanterns are generally more fragile and if you keep them around too long without using them the batteries might be near dead. Also there's something nice about a real lantern that the plastic battery ones can't quite beat.
