I agree, we've got a camping gaz lantern and a rechargeable remote lantern for carting around the tent / pitch.
One doesn't want to trip up whilst drivin' a gas lantern !!!!!!!!!

Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive !!!.
If you have EHU a Coleman rechargeable is great. We have two, charge them both in the daytime whilst we are out and they are both fully charged then for the evening ahead.
we have 2 sets of winnie the pooh led lights on a string that take 3 aa batteries.we hook them all around the inside of the tent and the same batteries have lasted for 3 camping trips and are still going strong.they give off more light than our original 2 coleman large lanterns,take up less room in the car and make the place cosy! + there 1/2 price at the moment in asda......only £7.50.
Solar is the way to go we have a lamp and four gardens lights it great. The little lights are long tubes ones from wilkinson, the tops come of and then act as torchs
I use solar lights by the door of the tent and by the guy ropes that I'm likley to trip over at night. I also have a rechargeable lantern and a battery torch. Oh and the kids have got those head torch things like miners have!!
