UCO 9 hour Candle Lantern Kit - Green
UCO 9 Hour Candle Lantern Kit.
This is a great handy piece of kit, I've had one myself for years and it has done sterling service.
This is the classic, long-burning, collapsible Candle Lantern that has provided warm, natural light to millions of outdoor enthusiasts for decades. It is perfectly suited to backpacking, mountaineering, snow camping, and similar outdoor pursuits. Lightweight and compact, the Candle Lantern provides 9 hours of warm light from a single candle, surrounding it in the safest, most efficient lantern housing available anywhere.
The lightweight aluminum or brass frame holds the glass chimney securely in place, creating a windproof environment for the flame. And the unique, easy-slide chimney allows the glass to slide down into the lantern, making the candle easier than ever to light.
The spring-powered candle tube pushes the candle up as it burns, keeping the flame burning at a constant height. A viewing slot on the side of the lantern allows the user to monitor the slow burning candle for remaining burn time.
They measure 6 1/2" high when open and 4 1/4" when closed. The lantern collapses to a more compact size for transport.
The twist lock base allows easy access for replacing the candle. A real handy piece of kit for Bushcraft, Camping or simply a safe way to light your home in an emergency.
Works with the 9 hour candles and the "Kit" pack comes with a Candle Lantern (with candle of course) a side reflector to help optimise the light and a neoprene cocoon to protect the lantern in transit. Great product, great value and great company!
Cosy
Great little lamp that carts a nice warm glow. Not good for my 50+ year old eyes to read by, but great marker light
Works well
It is fantastic quality
I should have bought this product years ago.
I also think they should be Government issue to every household.
Great product - poor packaging
Purchased as a gift so review is of the delivery process and associated replacement experience.
Order/Delivery process.
Lantern glass arrived shattered. For some reason order dispatched via Royal Mail in a jiffy bag which offered little to no protection during the delivery process.
Resolution.
Great service.
Called to explain that the latern glass was broken and the Bushcraft Store immediately apologised and issued a replacement along with a free postage returns label.
Replacement arrived well packaged and this time in a strong cardboard box.
Would like to add some context. I've previously ordered numerous items from the Bushcraft Store and had zero issues and always great service.
