Default Best camping lantern

Hey everyone,

Been ages since I have needed to purchase a good lantern for camping. I want something good, built well etc. I had a coleman propane lantern, was real bright but it has finally met its end. I was wondering what others are using.

I don't actually know, I use mine for light, fishing at night. The batteries have been in there for 3 yrs. I just checked it and it is still bright, I must have well over 6 hrs on it. This is the one I have.
