This lantern is so simple and so cool. Really light and very small. Can even keep it in my pants pockets. Glass seems quite stable though it’s glass so if you’re not careful it’ll break like any normal glass ever made so hopefully the people complaining about the glass think it through a little. It’s not Pyrex or safety glass so it will break. Though I think they should have made it from Pyrex I have no idea why they didn’t as it’s superior to regular glass in every way. What ever though as long as you don’t drop it on hard ground or something you’ll be fine. Has a nice dim light perfect for when your eyes have adjusted to the dark. Still haven’t tested it in my tent as a heat source as I’m a little worried the heat from the top will melt my tent. I’ve seen videos of people doing it and leaving it on all night and it looks safe enough. Just gotta make sure you have the tent well ventilated so you don’t asphyxiate yourself while you sleep. It produces carbon dioxide (not carbon monoxide which people seem to confuse it with) and you also produce carbon dioxide while breathing making it a slight hazard if you have all the tents vents closed. Still with only 1900 btu of heat you can’t expect it to do all that much in a larger tent. In a tent that’s around 40 square feet and 4 feet high (standard 2 person tent) thats well ventilated you will need around 3,400 btu of heat to get the temperature to around 70 degree and maintain it. Still that little lantern will make a big different producing more than half the btu needed to heat your tent. Anyways awesome lantern been using it in my room at night to read even though I’ve burned myself a half dozen times accidentally touching the top plate. Still getting used to having a candle lantern.

Went past 9hrs.
11/25/2022: I read some negative reviews about the candle burning out before 9hrs. I did a small controlled experiment. The setting was inside my Florida house: inside temperature was between 73-75*F (22.7 - 23.8*C), low humidity, no running fan or wind blowing. After the candle was lit for 9hrs, I wasted the next 1hr 35mins 22sec to see when this will run out. (1x) plain white (non-fancy) UCO factory candle lasted 10hrs 35mins 22secs. Well past the 9hr claim (Please see enclosed picture). I took the candle into a dark room and it did a decent job of providing soft light. For some of you who complained about the candle being dim… you probably did not allow your eyes to be adjusted to the dark or stared at bright light. Wait 30min for your eyes to adjust to the darkness. That lit candle emitted plenty of light to see in a 15x15’ room. And for those that complain about a little wax dripping… you can easily clean it out by lightly scraping it out or place it in a little cup of hot water. The lantern does breakdown into pieces for cleaning. Some people are either entitled, too lazy to clean, or love to complain about everything. O_o ** For my next update, I will field test the 9hr citronella candle when I go hammock camping in the Florida woods (or my backyard). I’ll include the weather conditions in my next review. So far, great little product. Lightweight, compact, and easy to use… so far.

This is still a decent candle lantern, just not quite as good as they once were. This particular set includes a small felt carry bag, one lantern, 4 candles (3 spares in plastic bag and one in lantern), and a set of instructions. This particular lantern is what they call grey in China, but that we would know as black. Sadly, all of the UCO lanterns are made in China now. I have an original UCO lantern I've owned for 7 years that was made in the U.S.A. (as you can see in the side by side photo) that is still going strong and has never had a problem. Hopefully this new Chinese made lantern will perform as well. As of now the only issue with this new lantern is the candle sight on the side does not line up correctly with the view slot (see photo) but you can still see the candle.
Still a decent candle lantern
