I agree, we've got a camping gaz lantern and a rechargeable remote lantern for carting around the tent / pitch.

One doesn't want to trip up whilst drivin' a gas lantern !!!!!!!!!

If you have EHU a Coleman rechargeable is great. We have two, charge them both in the daytime whilst we are out and they are both fully charged then for the evening ahead.

I remember when I was young that when it got dark you got out the torch and that was it. Maybe times have changed too much for me.
