I thought I'd update everyone on this subject.

I bought a Primus Easylight with piezoelectric ignition and although I have yet to put it to the test of actual field use, I love the light so far. The only 'real' testing that I've done is setting it up and packing it away a lot, using it in the house to simulate emergency lighting and using it outside as deck lighting but so far I've been rather impressed. I have yet to knock off or damage the mantle though-out this testing phase. Light output is great and probably really does produce about the same light as an 80W light bulb at about 2500-2700°K.
