I should add that I had the kids do a project that I think was kind of neat.
Make a candle lantern from a coffee can, coat hangers, wooden dowel, a little copper wire, and a candle.
Worked great. In dark camping weather, will work great, no batteries, no annoying gas lamp hiss. Works like a flashlight.
