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?
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.
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.
also have campingaz lumogaz plus that uses the easy click cartridge - excellent - cartridges quite expensive but last a long long time - also very warm and can be as bright or dull as you like

We had a campinggaz piezo latern that fitted the 901 cylinder. Unfortunately the valve jammed during the holiday this year. I can't believe you can no longer get them in the UK. I should have bought a replacement in Spain but it was €30.
