For years I used a candle lantern, and then a small "uncandle" which was a small oil lamp. In the last 8 years I have been my LED flashlight. The LED It doesn't provide the warmth or that nice glow, but it's lighter weight and has no risk of setting things on fire.

I haven't found a light weight LED lantern which is significantly better than a flood style beam headlampo for flashlight suspended from the roof pointed down.
