Hurricane lanterns: essential for atmospheric light and emergency situations

A hurricane lantern is a weatherproof lantern in which a natural flame originally burned, protected from wind and rain by a glass cylinder. You use a hurricane lantern as mood lighting in the garden, while camping, or as a reliable light source during power outages and other emergencies. There are classic models powered by lamp oil or paraffin, and modern versions with LED lighting. There are also more compact lanterns for travelling or larger models with longer burn times. As such, you will always find a hurricane lantern that suits your preferences.

How to choose the best hurricane lantern

Different kinds of hurricane lanterns

Hurricane lanterns come in classic versions that burn lamp oil or paraffin, and in modern versions with an LED light source. An oil lamp provides a warm, natural flame and has a classic look. LED lanterns are low-maintenance and ideal for those looking for convenience. Choose your lantern depending on your use: are you looking for atmosphere and tradition, or practical convenience?

Maintenance and use

A classic, fuel-filled storm lamp requires some maintenance: refilling the tank and emptying it when transported. LED models mostly just need new batteries or recharging. Some digital versions also have a built-in power bank that allows you to charge a phone or head torch. Both types are suitable for outdoor use, thanks to their protected housing against rain and wind.

Practical accessories

For oil lamps, spare wicks, lamp oil and possibly a reflector are useful additions. For LED lanterns, spare batteries or charging cables are good to keep on hand. Also consider a secure storage box or bag to protect your lantern during transport or storage.
