Butane Lanterns - Excellent For Backpackers
Butane lanterns are an excellent choice as camping lights for campers who like to minimise on weight or for backpackers and hikers. A typical example of a butane lantern will burn for approximately four hours on high and put out light equivalent to a 38W globe. Other more expensive models will output up to a 60W globe.

This is plenty of light to see what you're eating and making sure you're getting the dishes clean.
Butane laneterns can have a glass screen protecting the mantle while others that are designed for hikers have a metal mesh screen so there are no breakages. A minor disadvantage is that they do block out some of the light.
Not only are they light in weight but they usually run off the same butane cylinder that powers you're cooker so no need to buy different types of canisters if you get the right model. Check out some more camping equipment tips and tricks here.
