Snow Peak Lantern Rules!
By Kevin M. Munn
This lantern fits into my other Snow Peak cookware and uses the same fuel canisters producing a considerable amount of light. It is easy to insall the mantles and light using the auto ignititor. This lantern is extremely lightweight and powerful enough to minimize the use of my battery powered flashlights and lanterns around the campsite. It comes with in an indestructible plastic container. Not to be used inside a tent or other enclosure, but used only outdoors. I expect this lantern to last me a lifetime. Be sure to order extra mantles and I recommend purchasing the maintenance kit as it is inexpensive and easy to bring along in the event that something unfortunate (although highly unlikely) befouls the lantern's bulletproof build. Be sure to remove the glass lense prior to the initial burning of the mantle to so it doesn't get sooted up while the mantle "seasons". Great little lantern. Small, lightweight, durable. Cuts down on the weight of my pack considerably compared to carrying a regular lantern.

By Barbara
I am not a backpacker (but if I were I would definitely want one of these snow peak lanterns) I bought our lantern after the Oklahoma ice storm of 2007. We got it out last night when we were grilling after dark and it reminded me that I had neglected to come back to Amazon to give this little treasure the 5 stars it deserves. It is very compact, needs no matches and sheds a LOT of light. It is so compact that I can keep it tucked on a shelf in the utility room ready for use when we are grilling after dark, camping or when the power goes out. It isn't cheap, but it is so easy to use, fuel efficient and reliable, to me it is an excellent value. Today I ordered the last one in stock for a Christmas present. I hope that the stock will be replenished soon. The snow peak gas canisters are a mix of isobutane and propane. The initial instructions are clear, and be sure to follow Kevin's advice in the first review.I noticed that the gas canisters are out of stock on Amazon and REI. The Snow Peak website advertises "Giga Power Gold" for 4.50 with a 25.00 shipping fee due to hazmat. I bought at least two canisters when I bought the lantern, and we are still on our first one. (No big power outages in several years. Knock on wood.) I am a bit concerned that REI and CampMor don't carry the canisters, but will check locally before ordering from Snow Peak. My original canisters were red... I don't know what the difference is, but I guess I'll find out.

By Borae Cho
I know about Snow peak brand. They are well made Japanese company.However This lantern made in South Korea. It is still well made quality. In Korea, lots of people have backpacking and auto camping with tent. So they have lots of backpacking items. however cost is too much on those.First, This one is *COMPACT*.- small and comes with case. well protect for glass and mantle.Second, Bright enough for small family.(3 or 4)- It said 80W. however in dark, it's bright enough for 3 campers. it covers wide area. and light color is very soft and warm.Third, This is A *mood* maker lantern.- The sound of light up(gas) makes relax..( you know some db of white noise actually can make you calm down.) and the color of light is very warm and soft.*** ETC : I use all different kinds of gas. isobutan, cn, propane. iso gas are standard and tested source for this lantern. however CN type is too low pressure. so it didn't make enough bright. propane is too high pressure for this. you can put lower level then regular level then it's fine. however propane will cut of lifetime of mantle.bottom line: I want to get one more. if I don't have 3 of hozuki lanterns.
