I like the LED models, I just saw one at WalMart, it was an LED Flashlight like a mini-mag, but had an lucite stick that you could attach to the front, oh guessing about 6 inches long or so, that helped diffuse the light, make it more of a "Lantern" than a spotlight. It was in the Fishing Stuff if memory serves me.

I'm with the rest of them on the mantle style, they are bulky, fragile, and just not a good fit for me with touring. I use my bike light, but always like to have at least one other source of light. The Headlight style are good, expecially since they keep your hands free while you're trying to pitch camp in the dark.

It's better to light 1 candle than to stub your toe and scream and hop up and down.
