Below are a couple photos of most of the LED lanterns i have in my collection, (lanterns, battery powered LED bulbs, hanging LED lights, etc. including a few lanterns with built in flashlights & dual-purpose lights. (some of these are kept at the RV, used for camping, our canoe trips, etc. The three larger Coleman lanterns in the back/center were once Fluorescent & converted over to LED. (better tint, brighter, longer run times.
most all of of these are modded with better tint LED emitters, many with multi-mode drivers, and some are converted to run on Li Ion 1865 cells, some are multi-power, (Li-Ion, NiMH AA, & 12v DC)
A added last years BLF Comp build Steampipe Light, and this years BLF comp build the apocalypse lantern as both have lantern modes.
Very nice collection. Do you have any that are non-battery or fuel powered. I have a few UCO lanterns that burn candles, from votive size to a larger 4-5 inch candle. Useful for generating a little heat in a tent when it is cold outside.
very true. in the front of the photos you can see several cheaper flashlights i modded with wide-angle warm/white LEDs and permanent diffusers to them with hanging lanyards to do much the same purpose.
I do have kerosene and gas lanterns in a different collection. ( photo below are many from Coleman, Bernz-O-Matic, Sears, AFC, KampLite, and one Petromax. many of them are vintage, oldest is 1921.
Looks interesting. it looks a bit better designed than most up-firing LED lanterns, (those with the LED on the bottom facing up and most of them cause a lot of eye glare and emit most of the light in the wrong direction when used outdoors) all of the up-firing lanterns i have i converted over to down-firing. (LED on the top facing down. Less eye glare, and more light when on tables, hanging in trees or a tent)
