Hey guys,
What is more convenient for you lantern, headlamp or flashlight? I have a gas lantern, but it is not very safe to use it in the tent? Can you please share what you have. Maybe I will be lucky to find a good lantern or flashlight with good Christmas discounts.

Headlamp for sure. Lanterns are nice for lighting up the whole campsite but headlamps are pretty much the best option for anything else. DO NOT use a gas lantern in or near a tent.

A headlamp is almost always the best option. In the tent just hang it from the ceiling.

I've used a dozens of headlamps and lights over the years. I picked up a Petzl Tikka RXP about a year ago, its the only light source I use now. The reactive lighting is amazing, and its programmable.

Guys, I also wanted to ask about the fenix flashlights. Are they really good? In addition to the headlamp I want to find a quality flashlight (just in case)

I worked in the outdoor industry for 8 years, and know Fenix flashlights well. I've had nothing but good experiences with their lights. Extremely bright, compact, and durable.

Another vote for Luci lantern for lighting up a tent.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
