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.
