Check out the CMG Bonfire Tent Light. It is an LED based lantern. 
Here is a link to it at REI:

It's small, lightweight, tough and pretty bright. I bought one a few 
months back and it's great for in-tent usage. I also have a couple 
candle lanterns and it is much brighter. I used to use a flashlight 
lantern, but the batteries would just die on it seems every other 
trip.
