Bird,
I have 4 Coleman lanterns which I bought at flea markets for not much money each (< $10). They each give the equivalent of a 100 watt bulb in light. Finding Coleman stove fuel for the lantern may be more difficult. Dicks might have it. We haven't used the lanterns since we got a 16 kw standby generating system. We live in the woods and the lights (and the well pump, AC, water heater, furnace, water softener, refrigerator, computers) do go out a lot, so a generator seems worthwhile.
