Camping lantern

Im looking for possible a smaller or maybe larger lantern for inside the tent or around camp site. Most that i saw at walmart were d battery powered. I would rather use aa. If thst limits me to a small one that is fine and i wouldnt want to use adapters. I think no more than 3-4 aa’s. Any good reccomened lights. Saw a fenix cl20 and some streamlights but prices are too high for me. Also saw this on amazon

fenixgear.com is liquidating their stock. I bought a Fenix CL20 for $20.

I don’t see Fenix-gear liquidating anything other than that. I paid 59 dollars for a CL25R some time ago, and that’s what Fenix is “liquidating” it for right now.

I ordered one of these last week: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-Universal-Flash-Diffuser-Cloud-Lambency-For-Canon-for-Nikon-Sigma-Metz-Flash-Gun-Wholesale/32432138198.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.11.thmmyK&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_10,searchweb201602_3_10017_10005_10006_10034_10021_507_10022_10020_10018_10019,searchweb201603_9&btsid=60ec7ff8-0915-4ef2-83f7-410ef29e8e92

Converts a flashlight into a lamp. I am not sure what diameter head it fits.

That’s what this reddit post is claiming. I didn’t check anything else because the CL20 was the only Fenix thing I wanted.

Rayovac seems good. Coleman also has some variants.

If you look on ebay or maybe chinese sites you might find good but no-name lanterns at a very cheap price.

I recommend to go for the BLF Ultimate Lantern Project:

So why necroing a 20 month old topic?

There are OK cheap 18650 lanterns with 350 lumens

Now there are a lot of different clones to that model in aliexpress, some as low as 5$.

I was planning to buy those fenix clones but their light color temperature was cool which I don’t like.
