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.
