I use a PFD (or life jacket) light for my tent light, two AAA batteries. Not the strobe, the constant on version.

And a headlamp powered by AA or AAA batteries. Thrunite TH20, older style that is no longer made. (They have a new version now.) Uses single AA battery that is adjustable for light output. This uses one AA battery. It can use a Lithium Ion battery instead, but I am sticking with AA batteries.
I have a headlamp. Want to see how useful the lantern is while doing things like making breakfast in the dark. The lantern can also be charged without solar power. And I might have to walk for a distance at midnight to try to view the Orionids. At 9 ounces on a short, mostly flat tour, I don’t think it will be an issue.
