Luminos Lantern

If convenience is the name of the game, the Coleman Luminos Lantern is an odds-on favorite. While it's a little bulky for ultra-light backcountry heads, the Luminos has some neat tricks up its sleeve, like a folding dimmer toggle, oversized ignition button, and a refillable fuel tank that eliminates the need for a second stove canister. The Luminos uses Coleman's slip-on mantles so there are literally “no strings attached” and it can stand on its flip-out feet or dangle over your camp on the included cable. All in all, a great little lamp for car camping, destination cookouts, and large group overnights.

Bottom Line: Features and functionality make the Luminos Lantern shine brighter than the rest.

You'd think any lantern that uses a delicate mantle would also have a hard case for protection but I couldn't find one for the Luminos. My 7oz Primus EasyLight comes with one but not this lantern. Sorry but this is the only case I could find:

Are propane lanterns safe to use indoors during power outage

Are propane lanterns safe to use indoors during power outages?

Yes, with a caveat. There are propane and natural gas stoves in use in houses throughout the world, and as with a gas kitchen stove, a small propane lamp will not normally produce CO. However, if you are in an unventilated room, eventually you will use some of the O2 up when there is flame present. When the O2 level begins to fall, the likelihood of producing CO will rise. So, ventilation is important, just as if you were cooking with gas. Just as with everything, as long as you use your head, a propane lamp is an excellent emergency preparedness tool- it supplies light, and heat, plus a comfort factor.

Depends on what you mean by indoors. If your house? You'll be just fine, in a tent? make sure you have plenty of ventilation. I wouldn't use it in a sealed tent in the rain (a rain soaked tent DOES NOT BREATH). But on a nice night with a mesh tent or with the panels unzipped you would be fine with this lantern.

Absolutely not. Depending on how much oxygen is present, it'll produce water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and straight carbon (smoke). Most of things will kill you in a confined space. Get an LED lantern (Black Diamond Apollo, Brunton Polaris, Glorb, or Orion) or some emergency headlamps (Petzl e+LITE).
