One thing I have had problems with is Xenon flashlights. I have had 3 of them die within one evening's use now. They are nice and bright, but have had no luck getting the bulbs to last. The third one was a gift at xmas, and it burned out before we got to sleep the first night we were camping. It was not left on for long periods of time, it was just being used when we needed to see what we were doing, and had maybe 20 minutes of burn time on it before it just died.

I have 4 LED flashlights and 1 headlight (the one that you mount on your head). So far the LED lights have performed flawlessly. I was going to tryout Xenon but won't anytime soon based on NomadRip's review.

I just checked with my Dad, as I thought he'd had the same kind of issues with Xenon, and he's had several that failed with little use. Maybe it's a family curse :ugeek:

Thought I'd revive this thread. I have a 3 "D" cell Maglite for waking up in the middle of the night and having both a weapon and a light next to my bed, but for regular use, I have an inexpensive head light I bought at the hardware store. It has an incandescent white, a LED white, and an LED red. The red is my standard light for two reasons: 1. it uses a lot less energy and when the other lights won't even glow, the red keeps on trucking; and 2. when I am outside and cooking or something and look up at something out in the night, I can see! the red light doesn't mess with my night vision.

I may need to give the red LED a try. I recently purchased a 5W compact LED light. It's very bright for the size and uses only 2AA batteries. The problem is that it will only last like 5hrs of continuous use. However, it's very portable and not bulky at all.

I have a billion flashlights. surefire L4 is probably my sturdiest ($200) giving 65 lumens. the later version's 200. I love my fenix. 225 lumens and compact. don't waste your time with the cheap stuff. led is by far more durable than xenon.

Those sound like wonderful flashlights. I use a $15 headlamp from the hardware store, with a red LED, a White LED, and an incandescent bulb. I have used this two weekends a month for years. I almost never use anything but the red LED. IF it came with a red LED only, I'd buy that.

For exposing things out in the night, I just have my 3 cell Maglight. It works with a focusable beam and I can feel like I can hit things that get too close to my food dish or my beer.

It's really nice to have at least one nice flashlight. Totally weatherproof and practically indestructable. Yeh.. the headlamps are incredibly useful when camping. I have a black diamond. I paid around $70 for mine, but there are much cheaper ones that'll do the job (except they won't be weatherproof).

This is one tough flashlight http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=9002.

I used to bring lanterns on my trips. I have an old Coleman gas lantern that has been with me for close to thirty-five years. I also have incandescent battery lanterns, fluorescent battery lanterns, and a LED lantern.

I was out at the Minnietta at the foot of Lookout Mountain in the Panamint Valley one spring and the moths were thick around the lanterns. I had to shut down the Coleman because it had filled up with dead moths and they were going to become a fire hazard. The fluorescent was drawing a crowd, but the LED didn't have a moth. Weird.

Possibly because LED lights don't give out a lot of heat?

Not sure. It may also be that LED lights are one frequency light or maybe don't have UV light. UV light is especially attractive to moths and night flying insects.
