This is what I picked up Energizer Weather Ready lantern http://www.opticsforyou.com/product-9205-0-1-1.html I wanted it for emergency lighting at the house due to blackouts here in California. But also for a camping lantern, the primary reason being its 245 hours run time on one set of batteries (4 D alkaline). It's bright enough, two light settings with the lower setting being the battery-saver setting but still bright (plus a 3rd light being an amber nightlight). Just under 3 lbs (I would not use this for backpacking). You can set it up to provide 360 degree light by unfolding the stand, or block light on one side so as not to disturb others by folding it back into its stand for 180 degree light.
