Does it need batteries?

No. It burns kerosene through a wick, so it only needs fuel and a dry wick.

It gives a soft flame light, dimmer than most LED lanterns. It is best for ambient light or a small area, not for reading fine print.

What fuel does it use?

Clear kerosene. Do not use gasoline or other fuels, which are dangerous in a wick lantern.

How do I keep it burning cleanly?

Trim the wick and clean soot from the globe regularly. Keep the tank filled and the cap tight to limit leaks and odor.

Can I use it indoors?

Only with good ventilation. Burning kerosene gives off fumes and carbon monoxide, so never use it in a closed room or tent.

Is it good for backpacking?

Not really. It is heavier than a headlamp and carries liquid fuel, so it suits car camping, cabins and home backup better.

Our take on the Stansport 7.5" Hurricane Lantern

The Stansport 7.5" Hurricane Lantern is a kerosene-burning lantern with a large glass globe and a fully adjustable wick. It gives off a soft, warm flame light and needs no batteries, so it keeps working on long trips and during outages. It suits campers and households that want a simple, old-style backup light. Against battery and LED lanterns it is dimmer, sootier and needs fuel and wick care, but it never runs out of charge. Owners rate it around 3.8 out of 5, liking the classic look and simple build while some report leaks and uneven quality.
