Review on Stainless Steel Replacement Globe For Wire Mesh Camp Lantern by John Baker

I bought this after breaking the glass globe on my Coleman lantern for the 3rd time. I was initially worried that the screen mesh would make the lantern less bright, but it didn't. When I first took it out of the box, I held it over one of the bulbs in my dining room chandelier. The bulb I saw through the mesh looked just as bright as any of the others. Maybe some difference could be measured with an accurate light meter, I don't know. If there was a difference, it was imperceptible to me. It certainly sheds plenty of light at the campsite.The only thing you need to watch out for is screwing the lantern lid on too tightly. The screen mesh is durable enough but if you compress it too tightly top to bottom it will buckle. Just pay attention to this minor detail and you'll be fine.
