Are lanterns waterproof?
Some lanterns can withstand complete immersion in water, some can withstand only rain, and some should not be exposed to water of any kind. While this story includes easy-to-find information on how water resistant each camping lantern is, most camping lanterns will list their water resistance (or lack thereof) in the product specifications. These are typically rated with a code that begins with IP and then provides a number code for its dust-proofness and a number code for its waterproofness.
