Original Candle Lantern Powder

I love to read while I’m camping. This little candle lantern plus the light of the stars is perfect for me to read when my tent vestibule is open. You can also quickly see it and find your way back to camp when you’re going away to water the Lilly’s. It’s small, looks cool, and it’s easy to use. Butt to clean but I like it more than I hate cleaning it.

Not only does the construction feel cheap and sketchy as hell, but the device is prone to failure. Noticed the glass was stuck after only a short period of use with the included candle. Realized the wax literally leaks out of the metal shell that holds the candle out of the two side-slots, resulting in the whole device clogging up. Imagine trying to troubleshoot this while out on an actual camp.In the image above I let the candle run for a bit outside of the shell to demonstrate exactly what's happening. As you can see, the wax pours out of the side slits in the metal casing and spills everywhere. You'd pretty much need to take a stick or a knife and carve out the excess wax every single time you want to swap out the candles, which are supposedly long lasting, but the included one is down to the nub after just under 2 hours of use. Maybe if the wax didn't leak out all over the place, it would actually last the advertised amount of time.

it is nicely built and easy to operate and has beautiful warm light. Just wish there was a better way to manage handling it as it gets quite hot and not much to hold

I've purchased about 6 of these now. Gifted all but the ones my wife and I use.She has the powder blue one, I have this dark green one. It looks great - although I wish I had gotten the other green one instead.These little candle lanterns are awesome, they even put off a very tiny amount of heat. If you get the 3 candle version, you could keep your soup warm or coffee warm on top of it if you use a tin cup like I do.Just go right ahead and buy one. It's not ultralight, but it's lighter than a flashlight or a larger sized rechargeable lantern. The candles you can get for these can burn up to 8hrs or so, which is a lot less light time than a rechargeable lantern, so... there's that. I dunno, ya kinda gotta decipher how ya wanna use it. Be it for backpacking or just sittin around camp. I use it to doodle or write in my tent at night. Gives off just enough light.Ohhh - keeping these boogers clean is kinda difficult. The wax gets everywhere. That'd be the only complaint I have about it.Use the beeswax candles. The white ones aren't all that safe to use indoors.Enjoy, folks!

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. I have several of these and they are a good item for their intended use.

I don’t know if I got a defective product or what but my casing is very lose and it feels very cheap. I do not recommend this whatsoever. The glass comes lose all the time. I like the concept but the product is very poorly made.

First time i used it. It all fell apart and the glass shattered all over the place

It arrived broken, but at closer look, it is made of cheap quality and it could easily break.
