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 use paraffin oil in mine. Less odors, less soot.
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 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.
