possibly in the wrong section - apologies if so!

after being away from fishing a few years i would like any recommendations for a good night light/lamp - i use to have an old coleman but im sure there are bound to have been some innovations over the last few years - any help would be good (especially from a personal viewpoint)
cheers

Absolutely! I just get new mantles now and then and top up with unleaded! In the winter I put stones on top, warm them up and use them as hand-warmers!

hand warmers - sounds like a good idea - is there a hint and tip section on the forum - could be a good idea for a post!

agree colemans go on forever, and why buy a new lamp when mantles only couple of quid = several beers in the change lol

Coleman Duel Fuel Lanterns, are definatly the easiest and most efficient to use! The single mantle one is probably the best! At around the forty quid mark they are good value. The coleman fuel is a tad expensive, but has a better octaine!
If using unleaded always use funnel with filter, cause the dirt in your fuel cannister will do damage to lamp.
The new lanterns have a built in needle that unblocks jet, every time the knob is turned! (Not sure about the older versions)
The new ones also have a limited lifetime warrenty! Sent mine back to coleman because it wouldnt ignite, and they found faulty valve. They sent me the lantern back within a week fully working!
