Review on Stainless Steel Replacement Globe For Wire Mesh Camp Lantern by Terry Keown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

wish i'd have found this years, and many glass globes, ago.but might not be good for ice fishing

i can't tell you how many glass globes i've broken. the last one made it almost 6 whole hours. i was pretty ticked off and when i searched for some sort of relief from my clumsiness, and i found this.it worked great. it did everything you'd think it would. if it cut down on the light any, i couldn't tell. i feel like propane lanterns are crazy (often annoyingly) bright anyway. the screen did get discolored from use, but who cares? i will say that i have not yet tried it in heavy wind, but will come ice fishing season. i'm pretty sure some aluminum foil will fix any issues i have. and, for all the money i'll save on glass globes, i can buy a wind screen.oh, and i put this on a standard coleman 2 mantle propane lantern. it also fit some cheap ozark trail 2 mantle propane lantern i had kicking around as well.edit: 3/21/14after taking this out ice fishing this year, i found a weakness. it was pretty cold, close to 0 deg F, and my lantern just wouldn't go. the other lantern, with a glass globe, worked fine.like every other lantern i've ever used on the ice. what actually happened was ice must have built up somewhere inside, b/c after repeated attempts to light, it finally did.by the knob on the valve. not cool. i took it home, disassembled and cleaned it, and got it to work fine in the garage. i think it was just too cold.i'm taking off a star because not working in the cold is no good, but only one because i imagine this won't be an issue for most people.
