Chase away the chill with the lightweight, collapsible, and windproof Original Candle Lantern. This trusted, time-tested lantern fights dampness and brightens up camp or the backyard. Ideal for backpacking, mountaineering, snow camping and other outdoor pursuits, this classic lantern provides cozy heat and natural light for up to 9 hours (per candle). Surrounded by a sturdy metal frame and a glass chimney, the candle is lit in a flash—slide the chimney down and light the exposed wick. As the candle burns, the spring-powered tube pushes the candle up for a reliable, constant flame. Monitor the candle for remaining burn time through the viewing slot on the side of the lantern.

Customer Reviews
I like mine. Hopefully my sister will like this one.
I have been using UCO candle lanterns for decades both backpacking and on geologic field outings. They are highly reliable, the candles burn clean and slow, the auto feed always works and they generate enough light to read by. Candle lanterns were common in the 1970 for backpacking - but they were all folding units that were fragile. The UCO design has held up - glad its still in production. Given a few of these as gifts
I prefer candle light to artificial but was always worried about open flame. The UCO candle lantern solves that worry. Great product, and great service as well. The glass was damaged when I received it so I wrote to the customer service email. They replied within hours and by the end of the day sent a replacement glass. I received it just a couple days later. I love the option of different replacement candles as well. I love the beeswax, and the option of the citronella for bug season. Well made product and a save way to have fire light, rather than artificial light.
It's light and compact, and it works well. Thank you!
For the past fifty or so years I have been hiking and camping in the wilderness, always alone. When the sun goes down and the familiar shapes of trees and sky fade to blackness, it seems a primal instinct takes over as a means of protection from the unseen. And here's where the little candle lantern becomes a welcome friend. The tiny light illuminates just enough to render your surroundings a familiar recognition of your tent or hammock as if to say: I am here. I will offer you a glow of comfort, or warm the frost of your shelter before you close your eyes to rest and dream gentle thoughts until the warmth and light of morning arrives. A friend indeed.
