This is a nice lantern. The overall build of the lantern is thinner, feels weaker than i expected for the price. It is very light weight. I have not used it and will update this review once I do. I did change the paraffin candles out with beeswax candles. The change out was easy but as mentioned above the build is not as rugged, solid as i would have expected but had no issue's. I've read multiple reviews that said the paraffin candles dripped and made a mess and others that said the beeswax candles did the same thing. Beeswax makes the most sense to me and i believe will be less messy, last longer and burn hotter. If people had issues with the beeswax i can only imagine they were swinging and moving the lantern quickly. I like the design of this lantern. Its light, simple, nothing ive seen out there like it. I know this will be there when i need it. I will update when i do finally use it. In short, nice design, material thin and feels a little fragil but simple to use. A bit pricey for what you get but nothing like it for the price point. Overall happy i purchased and know it will come in handy in an emergency or when i do go camping again. 4 Stars just because I expected a thicker gauge material.

I really like candles. I've had an original UCO candle lantern (single candle) for years. Works great. Now I've leveled up to the three candle version. Worked perfectly for me. Light output nice and mellow. Best for evening cooking, conversation, even web surfing and such. Not like my superbright LED devices which I use for reading and searching for dropped/lost things on the floor. My first test was a night in my A-frame camper which is pretty drafty. The light level is low enough it didn't bother my sleep. It kept the camper above 50 degrees F while it was below 40 F outside. If I'd plug up all the drafts I'd probably get a 10 degree gain. I had no trouble with wax leaking down inside the mechanism. The candles burned cleanly right to the end. I got just short of 10 hours from them. Better than advertised. The top gets VERY hot as you would expect so exercise common sense. It kept a ceramic mug of coffee nice and hot. But be cautious. The whole rig is easy to tip with a mug on top. Be very careful around it. I like the fact that I don't have to carry liquid fuel any more. All my flame devices use propane, butane or solid fuel. No spills. The candles have a shelf life of decades and are easy to store with no mess. I also bought the UCO neoprene cocoon for it. Had to take the bail off to fit in the cocoon properly. Not a problem for me. I don't use the bail - it simply gets too hot to use to lift/move the lantern. I just set the Candeier on a counter or, at night, the floor. Overall, I'm quite happy with it. If you like candle light, I highly recommend it.

I bought this because I like the ambiance of candles and lanterns. This is a great way of setting the mood. I also wanted it for disaster preparedness. Candles don't go bad if stored properly. Buy a box or two of candles and a Candlelier and you have a dependable light source that should be ready to go for decades. Candles might be more expensive than bulk buy batteries for LED flashlights, but you don't ever have to worry about them going bad. The Candlelier puts out 5000 btus of heat, and tests on Youtube show that in an hour or two it should heat up a small cold space by 10 or 20 degrees depending. I haven't tested this myself, but I believe it. I wanted to try the Candlelier ability to boil small amounts of water. Most disaster preparedness stoves you might keep around like the Trangia alcohol stove or cans of Sterno are not to be used indoors as they emit harmful amounts of carbon monoxide. Now suppose your'e in a rustic cabin and the weather has gone to heck and you don't feel like going outside to cook with your other stove options. It will take a while, but you can cook a meal safely indoors with the Candlelier. I used a TOAKS 750ml titanium pot filled with exactly 2 cups of water, put the lid on, and put it on the Candlelier. In 1 hr 10 min I got the 2 two cups of water to a simmer-boil of about 185 F degrees. This is where lots of barley sized bubbles are coming up, but the water has not come to a 212 F degree rolling boil. There are several states of boiling, but it's important to remember that a temperature of 175 will destroy all active bacteria, yeast, and fungi, and 185 degrees is plenty hot for most cooking needs. I have no doubt the Candlelier can get 2 cups of water in a small pot with a tight fitting lid up to 212 F, but I believe it would take so long as to not be worth it. It's also important to remember that if you want to try boiling water with your Candlelier, you should use a small 750ml class pot with a tight fitting lid. If you leave the lid off, it's never going to boil. If you use a standard cooking pot from the kitchen, it'll probably never boil. And remember, it should get up to an 185 F simmer-boil in an hour or so, but it might take a great deal longer to get up to a 212 F rolling boil. Luckily, for almost all practical purposes, 185 F should work fine. Addendum: My boil test was performed at sea level in a 70 F room. Your mileage will vary depending on altitude and ambient temperature. UCO is a Seattle based company so when they say it will boil water, I believe they mean at sea level. I have no idea how long it would take to boil 2 cups of water at higher elevations. The Candlelier should never be your first choice for cooking in a disaster scenario. However, if you have a Solo Stove, Sterno cans, etc, and don't feel like going outside to use them, and you have time to kill, the Candlelier will step up to the plate, while at the same time putting out a worthwhile amount of light and heat and seriously cheering the place up.
