I think you'll find most of us shy away from what you might call a lantern for backpacking. as mentioned, they're ususally heavy and excessive.

Not to mention that with LED technology a good led headlamp can be used instead with great battery life, or as mentioned, a good led flashlight with a "lantern head" so you can hang it for area light works fine. again, the modern ones have great battery life for the
weight of a couple of AA or AAA batteries.

The only time I take a traditional lantern
is car camping.

Most of the time when backpacking, I personally take only a decent LED headlamp with a long battery life. gives me lots of light to work, and enough to read by without carrying a lot of weight. before the days of led headlamps and lights I used to take a candle lantern to read by, because headlamps didn't have the battery life - now I don't.

Buy a traditional lantern for car camping. leave it at home when backpacking.
