From September on, I bring one of the small white gas lanterns, fitted into a nice tough plastic case. It is great for doing those camp duties, like cooking and cleaning, especially with a group. Much better than having to use headlamps. Once this stuff is done, and we are chillaxing around the fire, it is off, as it makes too much noise.
I am actually quite intrigued by some of the LED lantern offerings that are coming up these days. Less weight than the white gas lantern, and the extra fuel for it, varying outputs depending on size, and they seem to last a long time, often more than enough for one fall trip. Plus, no noise at all.
I have taken the same candle lantern with me on trips for nearly 40 years now. The light outside is not great, but okay if you can put the lantern right beside the task at hand. Where it shines is in the tent, where I light it 20 minutes ahead of going to bed on damp nights, to chase any condensation out, plus it is adequate light for getting ready for bed. We have had one or two going in snow shelters before, and they seem to really shine bright in there, plus add a bit of warmth, especially psychologically.
