I like a gas lantern best, can have it bright or turn it down and it gives out a bit of warmth too.

Mine is an old Campingaz Bleuet 206.

Yes we like gas lamps too -we have a big lantern attachment for our 907 Campingaz bottle. However, it does get quite hot so it may not be you best choice if you have little uns running about. I am sure others will be along with non-gas recommendations

I also like the wind up torches for general use too - and no worries about running out of batteries!

is there one that is safe and light to use/carry.. i have a Maglite \(and a knackered Petzl but can't afford to replace) but is hassle to read at night.. anyone help?? (i need it v compact as i am a backpacker without a car)..

many thanks xxxb

Then a headlamp would be perfect. Very small & lightweight. I use mine for reading (light shines directly on your book)and for trips to the loo at night (obviously it shines just in front of where you're walking, so you never trip over anyones guyropes).  Mine has 3 settings & takes 3 AA batteries & they last ages.
