12-LED Multi-Purpose Camping and Outdoor Lantern Lanterns Aren&#39;t Just For Campers Lanterns? Just for campers? Nosirree, Bob, or whatever your name is. They&#39;re for anyone who likes to see in the dark when the power goes out. This one is the standard kerosene-lantern shape but runs on (4) "D" cell batteries that you bring to the blackout. Stands 10" tall on a 4" dia rubberized base and has (12) bright white LEDs, a conical reflector on top, a caged acrylic chimney and a wide handle with a pull-out hanging hook. Should be the light of your life for at least a couple of days.
