Looking for a buy it for life option for a lantern. Will mostly be used during power outages and only occasionally otherwise. Ideally it would hold a charge well and be bright enough to allow reading/puzzles/games/etc.

Not to go all old school on you, but have your considered getting a kerosene lamp?
I like this idea, unfortunately I don’t think I can trust everyone in the house with it quite yet!
@[email protected] Technology Connections has a great video on these. They’re neat, but not great at turning energy into light, and not great for one’s health when used indoors.
They can be run off of all sorts of fuels/oils in an emergency, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough lantern fuel if you keep vegetable oil around.
I use paraffin oil in mine. Less odors, less soot.
