I love my UCO in winter. I would like the tea light version, but it does not collapse. I paid about 10.00 for mine at Walmart. I was gonna pay a little extra for the Beeswax Candles, which are reputed to burn longer -- but I read a post about Beeswax and Bears and decided not to get them. The only problem I ever have with mine is that I sometimes fall asleep with a new candle in the lantern and wake up in the morning with no candle at all. Thats why I would like to have tea light size lantern - just burn a tea light out and forget it. Plus I got a hundred tea lights at Walmart for 5.00. Thats a pretty good deal, I think. I did a lantern search a while back and found where someone on this board had made one from water bottles - it had a water jacket to keep the plastic from melting. It looked nice, but the instructions were a little vague.
