Three Points of the Compass has recently been checking the various backpacking lanterns from the gear locker. On a grey winter's day, time was taken out to service two UCO candle lanterns.
Three Points of the Compass has a lingering fondness for this piece of 'old school' technology. Undoubtably these lanterns still have a place today, if only as a means of embracing old technology that compliments new. The UCO lantern I have used most is the Original Candle Lantern+LED. Unsurprisingly, this is powered by… candle.
