We found the wind up LED jobs a bit dull, whereas the gas latern we have is like owning your own miniture sun. And late on the evening it does have the benefit of providing a bit of heat.

We keep the LED for the bedrooms now.

Wid up lanterns are great in theory but a lot of winding for constantly fading light. UFO's great especially those with plenty of LEDs, there is a single LED "Coleman" lantern which retails at £20 in milletts which has got to be the best I have ever seen, low energy consumption and incredible light, going to get one for sea fishing at night!!

We use the S hooks for hanging kitchen utensils on a rail, got them from Ikea

Have also made a selection of custom shape and sized hooks from slicing up and bending old metal coat hangars
