Lightweight Gas Camping Lantern Features
Compact Gas Lantern Design and Portability
Measuring just 9.5cm x 5.5cm and weighing 130g, this gas lantern packs small for backpacking trips across the Scottish Highlands, Lake District, Snowdonia or Peak District. The included transit box protects the lantern and mantels during transport, while the compact size fits easily in backpacks, vehicle glove boxes or emergency kits.
Adjustable Gas Lantern Brightness Control
The adjustable gas flow valve allows you to control light output based on your needs. Turn up the brightness for cooking, reading or campsite tasks, or reduce the flame for ambient tent lighting or to conserve fuel. This flexibility makes the lantern suitable for everything from wild camping in the Cairngorms to car camping in established UK campsites.
Gas Camping Lantern Hanging System
The integrated hanging chain allows you to suspend the lantern from tent loops, tree branches, vehicle awnings or camping shelters. This hands-free lighting solution illuminates your camping area while keeping the lantern safely elevated above ground level. The chain provides secure attachment for stable lighting in windy conditions common across UK mountains and moorland.
Complete Gas Lantern Kit Included
The lantern comes with everything except the gas cartridge: protective transit box for safe storage and transport, gas adaptor for secure cartridge connection, replacement mantels for extended use, and hanging chain for versatile mounting options. This complete kit means you can start using the lantern immediately after purchasing a compatible gas cartridge.

Gas Camping Lantern Frequently Asked Questions
What Gas Cartridge Does This Lantern Use
The Highlander Compact Gas Lantern uses EN417 standard screw thread butane/propane gas cartridges. These are the common camping gas cartridges available throughout the UK and Europe. Gas cartridges are sold separately.
How Bright is a Gas Camping Lantern
This gas lantern provides bright, adjustable light suitable for tent lighting, campsite illumination, cooking and reading. The adjustable gas flow valve allows you to control brightness from low ambient light to bright task lighting based on your needs.
Can You Use a Gas Lantern Inside a Tent
Gas lanterns can be used inside tents with proper ventilation and safety precautions. Always ensure adequate airflow, never leave the lantern unattended, keep it away from tent fabric and flammable materials, and position it securely using the hanging chain. Many campers prefer to hang gas lanterns near tent entrances for illumination with good ventilation.
How Long Does a Gas Lantern Run
Runtime depends on the gas cartridge size and brightness setting. Lower brightness settings conserve fuel and extend burn time, while higher settings provide brighter light but consume fuel faster. Carry spare gas cartridges for extended camping trips.
What is Included with the Gas Lantern
The complete kit includes the lantern body, hanging chain, protective transit box, gas adaptor, and replacement mantels. Gas cartridges are sold separately.
How Much Does a Compact Gas Lantern Weigh
The Highlander Compact Gas Lantern weighs 130g complete with all components. This lightweight design makes it suitable for backpacking and hiking trips where pack weight matters.
Is a Gas Lantern Better Than LED for Camping
Gas lanterns and LED lanterns each have advantages. Gas lanterns provide bright, warm light and work in cold conditions where batteries may fail. They require fuel cartridges rather than batteries. LED lanterns are lighter, safer for enclosed spaces, and don't require fuel. Many campers carry both types for different situations.
Where to Buy Gas Lantern Replacement Mantels
Replacement mantels for gas lanterns are available from outdoor retailers and camping shops throughout the UK. The lantern includes replacement mantels to get you started. For additional mantels or other camping equipment, contact us for assistance.
