Gas Lanterns: A Great Camping Choice
66Camping lanterns are an essential piece of camping equipment, and one that every camper should have. They come in a variety of models. Battery powered lanterns, liquid fuelled lanterns, and gas powered lanterns. Each have their advantages and disadvantages, and depending on the type of camper that you are there is always one that is right for you.
The gas lantern is a popular choice amongst many campers, for various reasons. Firstly it gives off the best light of all the models. It is extremely bright and gives off a lot of light. This is because it is burning gas, and it uses a flame, which gives off great light. Another benefit of gas lanterns is the fact that the light burns for a long time. Gas is a very efficient fuel and will burn slowly, which means that you will get a lot of life out of your lantern. This is an advantage over the battery powered camping lantern, because that does not give off great light and it is very dependent on the charge in the battery.

Gas Camping Lantern
Gas Lanterns are also one of the cheaper models of lanterns. Gas is a cheap fuel to buy, and because as mentioned earlier it burns very slowly and it extremely efficient. It is also the same fuel that you use on many other camping pieces of equipment, such as a stove, which means you only have to buy one type of fuel for both pieces of equipment. This makes it cheaper to run and maintain.Gas camping lanterns also have their disadvantages, and it depends on what type of camper you are, the gas lantern simply may not be the lantern for you. As mentioned earlier they give off a great bright light, because they are burning and using a flame. This can cause a few safety concerns, and if you have children, or go camping with pets, then you will have to think twice about buying a camping lantern. The flame means that the lantern will heat up. It can become quite hot and poses a large burn risk. It can be easy to touch it without meaning too, or knock it over, and as mentioned before, with kids or pets around, this risk is heightened. The open flame can also be a safety danger. Another disadvantage of gas lanterns are the noise that they produce when running. They can get very noisy and loud and are the loudest of all the models of camping lanterns, it can become disturbing when you are sleeping, or to other campers.
