The PROBLEM With The Original Candle Lantern From UCO

The PROBLEM With UCO's Original Candle Lantern. Compact it is - rugged - not so much. The first lantern I received had broken in transit, glass shattered, the glass on my second lantern broke when changing the candle. Compact and delicate, fragile, handle with care is more appropriate. Not only that but you have to buy UCOS own candles for the original candle lantern for a mere £9.75. It's not all bad news however with the cheaper, less fininky mini candle lantern, you can grab a whole bunch of tealight candles and you're good to go! Furthermore when replacing the candle you just twist and remove the base. Less moving parts, less to go wrong. So if you're considering UCOS original candle lantern, consider the mini more!

Have them for years. So has friends who brought it backpacking. Never broke one. Don’t slide the glass down like that. Extend it with the glass in place, unscrew the base and light. They’re great 👍🏽

I didn’t know they existed but that’s a very useful way to get the best of both worlds! Thanks for sharing

I have not had a issue or known anyone personally that has had issues with a uco glass breaking .
Only problem I ever had was cleaning wax before putting in another candle . original glass mantle still in great shape for over 29 years and other 2 no issues for 9 and 10 years . All these have been packed up and hiked in hundreds of miles .
I use candles , alcohol and kerosene in my uco lanterns .
The best candle lantern made . I have use them since mid 80s and nothing broke yet .
