Uco Candlelier Lantern

Description

The brightest candle lantern available has a warm glow that’s quiet and dependable. No batteries, no liquid or explosive gas fuel, no bulbs or mantles. The UCO Candlelier is a 3 candle lantern. Unique spring loaded candle tube keeps flame height constant, while a small viewing window shows remaining candle life to preclude unpleasant surprises. The exclusive UCO candle was developed with specific wick size and wax formula to burn clean for up to nine hours and to resist hot weather melt down. The wax in other candles melts at a lower temperature, causing burning problems such as wax dripping, flare ups, and meltdowns. Other candles generally have a shorter burn time as well. The heat shield on the top provides a stove like surface to boil small amounts of water, melt snow, or keep foods warm. The lantern is 8 inches high, 4 inches wide and weighs 21 oz. with 3 candles. Candle lanterns cost less to operate than other outdoor lights. Candle lanterns cost around $.09 per hour to burn, flashlights and head lamps cost between $.025 and $.50 per hour. Gas lanterns generally cost more than $.50 per hour to operate, and require regular mantle replacements which raises their cost of operation even higher. Candle lanterns are one of the most weight efficient light sources in the back country. A UCO candle weighs less than 2 oz. And burns for 9 hours. Batteries for a flashlight weigh more, usually don’t last as long, and suffer from reduced performance in cold conditions. Lifetime parts warranty.
