Perfect design for camping, backpacking or a power failure. Batteries may freeze or die but this kit gives you the edge. I bought two and a box of twenty candles. I also purchased a reflector and a protective cover for camping/ backpacking. I've used these in the last power outage. They lasted all night and I could actually read by them. Pretty cozy compared to a live flame in the wind and wax splatter concerns. Read more

je bivouaque très régulièrement par tous temps et en toutes saisons. depuis l'age de 15ans (33 aujourd'hui) je lorgne sur cette lanterne et son clone de chez Edelrid. Après avoir vue la version EDELRID je n'ai pas été convaincu par la solidité du produit. l'âge venant et les salaires également j'ai franchi le pas et acheté la lanterne UCO que je n'avais jamais vu en vrai! Que de regret de ne pas avoir acheté cette lanterne plus tôt!!! Les lanternes UCO sont fantastiques! testé depuis 2ans et environs 45 bivouacs tient le vent, la pluie (la vraie pas le crachin), réchauffe un trou de neige sans problème et permet de préparer, manger, lire et rassurer pendant la nuit les enfants quand ils accompagnent... en gros, tout ce qui demande pas une grande lumière quand ont est au calme. l'autonomie d'une bougie est excellente (environ 10h) la plus part des accessoires sont utiles et les pièces de rechange disponibles (verre, ressort, chainette...) dommage que les prix en France soit excessifs (notamment les bougies)! Cette version dite "original" est la plus pertinente de toutes! (pour avoir testé la MICRO, voir mon avis Amazon) En complément, je vous invite à considérer le réflecteur PAC-FLAT, il est génial et bien pensé: c'est un bon complément (notamment pour la lecture) le prix est toutefois difficilement justifiable (attention pas pleinement compatible avec la version micro (dommage)) nota: le réflecteur latéral est à oublier, pas facile à ranger et l'efficacité est minime.

These candle lanterns--gotta say, they are slick. Now, granted they are a candle, but they are better than just a candle. I did my homework and am very happy with how my first lantern worked last weekend. We had a blizzard and our house was without power for 48 hours. This little candle burns well in the house, the flame stays very still and absolutely without a flame flicker, plus it gives off some heat. (I burnt my finger stupidly--don't close a hot candle lantern!). I plan to order several more. I had read that some people had trouble with the candle wax dripping down--here's the thing--read carefully. Try not to move it a whole lot-- but if you do spill wax, simply let the candle cool--let the wax harden on the metal insert, and it will wipe/lightly scrape off once it cools. Only takes a minute to clean it off. Other candles don't fit--so order extra. I found that the 9 hour candle worked for pretty much 6 hours and I stubbed it out with another 2 plus inches left for the next day. Read more

Bella, funzionale, con una luce di atmosfera e sempre pronta, senza sorprese di batterie scariche. Certo non è un faro, ma basta per le attività statiche Read more

As described, it will not disappoint you in the least. I would recommend this lantern for any backpacker, camper, survivalist or for any time that light is needed, like in power outages. It is compact, lightweight, and easily stored and transported in thick durable cases sold elsewhere for them. I think the pouch should come with them, for as much as they charge for these lanterns. The accessories that you must purchase separately, are rather costly, unless you spend quite a bit of time on the net searching and comparison shopping. The candles are great too, as they burn for long periods of time and leave little or no waxy drippings. The lantern is also great, in that it pushes the candle upward into the lantern globe area to maintain a constant and even lighting. You are even able to direct the light where it is needed the most, with an optional deflector. Overall it is a very nice lamp with great features and well worth the price. Read more
