Century Double Mantle Propane Lantern

The double mantle propane lantern from Century was my first propane lantern in years. I spent quite a bit of time reviewing a propane lantern vs. battery powered lanterns. When comparing these two different types, you quickly find that high quality, battery powered lanterns are much more expensive than the propane style.

This propane lantern comes with the typical bail for easy hanging and carrying. It also pushes out an impressive 137 watts with the brightness being fully adjustable.

Due to the price and output, I settled on this propane lantern. I was not disappointed. The lantern can light up an entire campsite. The drawbacks to this (and any light at your campsite) are the flies and bugs. Lights such as these draw the bugs by the millions. It is best to place the lantern away just far enough away from you not to be effected by the bugs.
