I gave up on candle lanterns during the summer because of weight, a candle that gives me a lot of light weighs a lot more than an LED. I do like them in winter, as I usually hang one in the very top of my tent near the vent. I find when I keep a candle burning up there all night helps keep air moving out and reduces frost up inside.
