Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Lantern, Manual:
This is a great, quality, little lantern. I like it but I was disappointed with the light output. I'd say 35 watts would better describe it. It tends to burn with dark areas in the mantle. I've learned that the mantle has to be fluffed "just so" and I can't use Coleman fuel if I want the best light. Sometimes, if I have dark areas in the mantle, I can brighten them by turning the valve off & on quickly a few times.
