I have loved these lanterns for so many years for so many reasons. The obvious being the great dripless candle design (when properly used). But mostly, the lantern is a real warm and fuzzy for me in a cold LED world. Nothing beats its soft glow and lovely retro styling. They are easy to clean and load and the candles last well. And the bonus is having an extra pot warmer when cooking on a small table and in cold weather.
I keep a couple in my car winter survival box in case of a backcountry road incident or freeway shutdown calamity in wintry weather. This, so as to be able to melt snow and raise the temperature in my car a few degrees, and also for psychological comfort in the event of such adversity.
It's lightweight to carry yet sturdy enough it won't tip easily. Should work great during power outages.
Nice quality and shipping box was good enough so glass did not break.
I wanted this lantern for multiple reasons. I’ve had the OG UCO candle lantern for years and use it to wick moisture from my tent while winter backpacking and camping. I wanted to test if this lantern would actually boil water in a lidded pot.. check my YouTube video to see the results. My only complaint is, it’s a bummer there aren’t standard candles that can fit in it, so it can be expensive to use frequently, but it does add a nice ambiance, and emits enough warmth to keep your hands toasty if you can’t build a fire.
I’ve got two of these three candle lanterns. Use them to warm my small office and enjoy the perk for the holidays. I got tired of tossing out the three wick scentless candle glass, maybe these are cheaper approach. I got a gimmick of putting a soda can full of water on the top, gets up to 120-140F, just a mean to try and catch and store the heat. Now the cleaning part I don’t get. At home I got a process, but if camping I don’t get this. I use the hot water in the can to remove the stuck wax, because most the time it gets in the way of adding a new candle. On rare occasions the candle makes a mess that needs deep cleaning. So I VERY CAUTIOUSLY use very hot water and a little dish soap to clear the stuck wax at home. I cannot imagine how they replace candles while camping or during an outage, no good guidance I found posted on best ways to clean.
