For bright noiseless light in camp or on the trail, pack up the Primus EasyLight Lantern. This adjustable lantern fits any valve canister fuel on the market, and puts out a warm 80W of light. A durable plastic case protects the Easylight’s globe when you toss it in your backpack, and an attached wire makes it easy to hang from a tree or pole. Fuel canisters sold separately.
does this put out too much heat to be used inside a tent?? with the proper ventilation being used of course. what lantern do you suggest to use in a tent, if any??thanks
You should probably use an electric lantern. The Black Diamond Apollo is an awesome choice, costs about the same, and you don't have to worry about heat or carbon monoxide.
The Primus EasyLight Lantern is a little heavier than the Snow Peak but much brighter. In fact for the additional 2.5 ounces, you get a back country 80 watt light bulb. Greatly appreciated when setting up camp @ 11:00 pm. Uses all standard Lindal Valve cartridges. The "self igniter" version is the best piezo on the market. This one actually works @ higher elevations. Durable plastic case that keeps everything in place. Here's more information:
I ordered one of these on Steep and Cheap the other day, I am under the assumption that it is a propane lantern, am I correct? If not can it be adapted to run on propane canisters? I really dont want to go hunting for lindal valve fuel everytime I go camping since none is availabe in my area.(please be propane, please be propane) Thanks! (unless it's not propane)
You really should have thought of that before you bought it (bet you got a steal though). It'll take canisters like these:http://www.backcountry.com/store/PMS0026/Primus-100-Gram-PowerGas-Canister-4oz.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/SNO0095/Snow-Peak-GigaPower-Fuel-110-IsoPro.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/CAS0375/MSR-IsoPro-4oz-Premium-Fuel-Canister.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/BRU0137/Brunton-Bruntane-Canister.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/JET0002/Jetboil-JetPower-Fuel-100g.htmlThose run about 3-5 dollars each. They're isobutane also, not propane.
I took one of these down into the Grand Canyon during Christmas Break. What a nice item to have when you can't have a camp fire! The light intensity is very controllable and it burned little fuel. Comes with a simple, but nice, case. I bought the model with the igniter on it and wasn't disappointed; it lite the first click almost every time! It also doubled as a nice way to warm cold hands... I'd highly recommend this lantern!
Two part question (or 3). What type of mantle does this use (is it a "stiff" pre-formed mantle)? I see no offering of replacement mantles....any ideas?
The Primus EasyLight lantern uses a Coleman #51 "slip-on" type mantle. It needs to be pre-burned on the burner post. Toward the end of the burn, add a little gas to give it a rounder shape. Here's more information:
I do not own it..but from what I have read here, and elsewhere..it is a mantle-less lantern. I was wrong. I just watched a video showing the replacement of them. I thought they were mantless lanterns, but unfortunately not.######################Actually it does have a mantle, if you check out www.primuscamping.com you can buy them there. Its not a stiff mantle, you pre-burn them just like you would with a Colman.
