NCO lanterns ??? Are they worth the money ?

[TexMex247]

I recently took the plunge and got a pair of these on the way. My first thought was that it is just an over-priced candle holder. However, the thought of having a 9-12 hr light source from a single candle has it's appeal. I have no hands-on experience with them, just thought they would be great during deer season and for the BOB. If anyone has one and knows a great source for the candles, or the best style of lantern, please post about them here.

I believe you meant UCO Lantern. They look interesting.

I've played with one before, the lantern that is. They are pretty cool, they look kind of cheesy but when you get your hands on them they are pretty sturdy. I'm gonna end up getting on for my bag.

Situation allowing I am still a big fan of my pump up Coleman lantern. Just keep some mantles handy.
