Ken, thanks so much for the info on Coleman lanterns! The info you got on the difference between the 8D and 6 volt versions is especially useful. 20 hours is actually a long time for a very bright light...I can't imagine myself needing a very bright light for more than an hour a day. Most of the time my lightweight, portable Coleman "mood lamp" will be just fine. And I do have an antique brass chamberstick that I really love...it makes me feel like Jane Eyre...somehow carrying the itty-bitty Coleman from room to room just doesn't have the ambience of the chamberstick :) But I do want a true lantern (battery op) as a task light...I'm going to head out again this weekend to see what I can find. Thanks again!

Many thanks to everyone on this thread for the info you've posted about battery-operated lanterns and lamps. Yesterday I bought the battery-op Coleman lantern 5358H705 for $29.99. It operates on 8 D batteries. Although I expect to need its really bright light only occasionally and possibly even rarely, I'm glad to have it! I had overlooked this same lantern in the same store several times because I simply assumed it was propane-powered. But thanks to your posts I looked again and--voila!--it was battery powered. Thanks again for all of your valuable tips and information! }=>------------->>>>
