My friend Mel at Kifaru turned me on to the Jil-Lite Constel LED Micro Lantern. It looks to be a great little lantern that can be hung from a branch or in a tent just as well as it can be carried. It uses a CR123A Lithium battery to offer 30-40 hours of light. It’s T6 aircraft aluminum body is waterproof to about 10m. The Constel features a dome shaped light diffuser which houses a white LED lamp. Below is a photo of Mel’s Jill-Lite next to a 4Sevens Q Mini 123 which is only 2 1/4″ tall. He tells me he swears by it. Not only is it small and lightweight but offers plenty of illumination for a tent.
