## Description

desertcart.com: Primus - Micron Lantern - Steel Mesh with Piezo Ignition (Gray) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Awesome Mini-Heater and It Also Gives Off a Lot of Light! - I love this lantern. In the old days, fuel lanterns like these were an absolute must for camp lighting. Nowadays, it is not my first go to for camp lighting with advent of LEDs. If I set my Luci LED lantern out in the sun for a day, it will light up my camp/tent for two or three evenings on that one charge and weighs less than 125g, which weighs less than even the smallest fuel cylinder for this lantern {ASIN: B01IIV1OC0}. It will do this for months on end. Carbon impact for 4 months use - ZERO. How many fuel cylinders is that in a lantern? What I really use this Primus lantern for nowadays is both light and/or HEAT. If it is too cool or cold, fire this thing up inside the tent, and you will be warm and toasty in no time. If I need to break camp at the crack of dawn and there is dew everywhere, few camp tools will dry out the tent surfaces better than firing up this compact lantern inside the tent for a few minutes. A huge plus. You can then break down and roll up a DRY not soggy tent. In cold weather, I suggest hanging the lantern ready to go in the tent at bedtime, then you can reach out of your sleeping bag and fire it up with the built in piezo lighter (it's fast and easy - check the video) and retreat to the comfort of your sleeping bag while the Primus heats up your tent until it is ok to come out of your cocoon. It is a good source of light, but with all of the advantages of the modern solar chargeable camp lights, it is hard not to regularly use them for your light sources and conserve your fuel. Additionally, the HEAT produced from the lantern while helpful, can also be hazardous, so for casual light, I use the solar lantern when possible, especially inside the tent and if kids are around. Inside the tent, use the hanger (maybe with extensions depending on your tent height ) to keep this thing away from the tent surfaces, and that way you can’t tumble it over and ruin your spendy sleeping bag. If the business metal parts of the unit touches anything fabric while in use, it’s flame on! Since I don’t need to squeeze every single photon from this lantern, the compact metal screen on this lantern is a perfect choice for me. Very practical . . . rough handling; no broken glass globes. It comes with a sturdy carrying bag. Make sure to get some spare Primus mantles to bring with you, also, there are many other brands of mantles on desertcart that fit at a better price. If you can do most of your camp lighting with the LEDs, you can really lighten your load burden by carrying less fuel. This has a great compact form factor for me for both car and ATV camping. It is also light enough to use for some backpacking and many backpacking stoves use this same fuel cylinder. Ready for action; the carry bag, the lantern head with mantle, and two spare mantles, weigh in at 157 grams. Adapters allow you to mate this lantern with other less expensive (and heavier to carry) fuel sources if long term use is needed. See ASIN: B00SR6OVOA and ASIN: B00CFPISZW. I am very happy with this lantern, I recommend it, and would buy it again. Sorry about the photo order, you cannot place them so some are out of order.
Review: Great little lantern. Nice bright and hot - I go camping whenever possible so me and my wife decided one day to upgrade to backpacking / Motorcycle camping. We also traded in the large bulky Coleman lanterns and stoves for something a bit smaller. I did a lot of research and I landed here. In most cases I would use LED flashlights and lanterns "AA and AAA batteries are a lot lighter than cans of butane fuel" but for good wide area light and heat this micro lantern can’t be beat. I normally bring this lantern on cold weather trips. me and the wife can stop drink some water rest for a few minutes and warm up with the lantern. Also works great in the dear blind set it on low and it will burn warm for hours. I let it run on high for up to 4-1/2 hours and at its lowest in excess of 7 hours. It burns just as bright if not brighter than a traditional Coleman lantern the wire mesh protects the element and won’t break like most traditional lanterns. it has about 2 or so foot of cable allowing it to be hung from low hanging branches. Do keep in mind it is still has a mantle which is very fragile. the lantern can be safely shoved in a pack and I’ve had no issues with it on long trips but keep spare mantles in your pack and don't drop it or toss your pack down as you could damage the white mantle. PS: I’ve also had a chance to use this lantern in 2 power outages I put on top of the stove so it could be near the upper exhaust lit the kitchen, dining room and most of living room.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great backpacking lantern.
*by L***E on December 11, 2018*

Lightweight. Compact. Solid design. Uses very little fuel. Pretty bright considering it's covered with a solid metal mesh. Doubles as a space heater hanging inside tent. Spent a few nights in San Gorgonio wilderness above 7000 feet. Had no problems with the igniter and it helped fight back the chill on 20 degree nights. Steel cable included for hanging has enough length to keep whatever it is hanging from cool. If you use this inside a tent, be extremely careful and use your head!!! Make sure you are venting if in a 4 season tent and don't keep it on for more than 30 minutes at a time. If you fall asleep with it on in an enclosed space, you may not wake up. Carbon monoxide is not your friend! I carry it in an Oakley zippered sunglasses case. It fits perfectly and I carry an extra mantle in there too. Wouldn't recommend for through hiking where your fuel needs to be carefully controlled, but on a few nights where 1 canister is more than enough, this is a nice item to have. I love it and am very pleased with its performance.
