Coleman lantern? Works good for me when I use a shack or pull an overnighter on the ice once in a while.

My old man got me an led pen light at car quest.... it lights the tent like crazy. I have no idea how much he paid, it was a Christmas gift. The way the light is shaped, I can slip it between the tarp and pole of my tent. It's black and yellow and called cliplight.

I have had a battery pack from crappy Tire for the last 5 years (time for a new one now) but it has been excellent for power. Run a light and radio for 5-6 hours, rechargeable and not that heavy,

I picked up a couple of Rapala LED lights the are about 3"x8" they throw plenty of light and pack wellwith multiple mounting options.
I also have 4' of led strip light mounted on a pole...this was left over from a kitchen reno that has a remote and hooks up to a small FF
battery. Nice to have the red light for nap time on those overnight outings.

For Xmas I recived a Colman lantern with LED bulbs, it takes 8 D sized battery's that cost under 10 bucks at CT. It lit my 8'X8' pop up great, I hung it from the top corner with a rope, I'm supposed to get 24 hour on high with battery's. It was the only light we had and it worked great.

There are plenty of LED light bars from all the usual suspects out there these days Clam,HT,Rapala all make good shelter lights. Some are light bars and will attach to parts of the sled, others come with a built in hook to hang off one of the cross bars, I'm currently using the HT led light w/fan, it takes two D batteries and so far has done great.

I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for... I like the convience of the LED options Energizer makes some great latrens. If I'm heading out to a favorite spot for some night crappies I usually bring my Coleman lantern it's provides the best light, heat & keeps my steel spoon clean by placing it on top of it. A headlamp is a must for me for packing up or walking to & from. Whatever you choose always have back up sources of light, extra batteries, propane/mantles because trying to fish at night or early morning with no light sucks.

You could use a Coleman Lantern on top of a 1lb propane tank... Light + heat all in one!
