Just a note from my experiences; I have the opportunity to "try before you buy" just about everything in the outdoor market and.......From mine and fellow kayakers/canoeists/hikers experience, the Petzl ZOOM rates very high without the Halogen bulb and in primarily dry conditions. The Princton Tec line is very good, I love my 4 cell one and it has never let me down. But, it can be hard on batteries as it uses a Halogen bulb and tends to "die" quickly when the batteries fail. The best lantern I have found, although I swore I would never use pressurized cylinders, is the Primus Trek Lite. It throws 80-100 watts and will run up to 24 hours on a cylinder. It also comes with a chain to hang it just about anywhere. The cylinders are light, fit in the stowage and the lantern comes in a very small light little plastic storage box. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jan 13 1999 - 15:14:48 PST
