Led Torch

Kerosene lanterns work well. So do propane torches.

LED devices are very reliable, and can last a long time on a charge, as the LEDs generally draw very little power.

You might consider a device with a built-in generator. I had some LED flashlights that had a hand crank. Then if the battery died, it could still work.

I have a colman's lantern - works on batteries - I just bring extra batteries enough for the number of days I do camping.

You never, ever, ever want to reuse anything from a pack that has experienced a kerosene spill. Not even a little one.

I do think LEDs are the way to go, though the light does seem more focused than might be desirable in a camp lantern.
