so after changing the batteries in my lantern several times this weekend i am thinking that it might be time to upgrade to gas...any recommendations for ones that don't cost the earth but won't fall apart after five minutes?

ta muchly :-)

Double post, Doh!.

I have a CampinGaz Lumogaz RPZ, great lantern that fits onto the re-fillable 901 cylinders, Piezo ignitions, so lights first time every time. got that last year for £19.99 from Outdoor Action in Blackburn, although not officialy available in the UK anymore.

Last week I picked up a CampinGaz Lumogaz Plus, a Tesco clearance bargain at £4!, it uses the Easy Click disposable cartridges, that can be detached when needed, a 240gm cartridge cost £3.99.

Both lanterns are 80w equivelent, so about 4 times as bright as the brightest LED lanterns that are around. and those sell for £50 a pop, check out 400 Lumen Cree LED lantern.

I have a Primus Easylight (with auto piezo ignition but not the Duo connection which is flawed in my opinion) and absolutely love it.

It is very well made and comes with a very sturdy case for in between trips. It is very quiet but still gives off that lovely gentle hiss that is typical of all gas lanterns. It gives off a good amount of light, especially if you are used to battery lanterns.

Mine cost about £35. It does seem like it will last a long time so I consider it an investment.

But it's not very pretty :( no good for glamping !!!
