Has anyone used one of these?
I looked them up and they looked to be solar powered, what extra mantels are you referring too. The guy at the local back packing store was showing me one of theses and I kept thinking to myself what a gimmick. Maybe I could be wrong.I've been using one for about 3 season now and like it. Solid little piece, it certainly burns the fuel up, be sure to carry extra mantles.
This is the one I was talking about
Solar? Hmm. I'm running a compressed-fuel Brunton Lucy. Perhaps they've since changed to solar?
I have this as well, really like it and it is very easy on fuel consumption.
I have this one as well.
But MUCH prefer this one:

I know the Lucy is said to be 65 W and hte Primus is 80W but I really think that frosted glass makes a HUGE difference in the amount of light it gives off. This is the one I'll be running next week in my tent on Kodiak. Warms it up nicely and gives off lot of light. I am sure there are other models out there just as good or better but these are the two isobutane lanterns I have and I have to say the Primus is far superior.
