I can't praise this one highly enough.  It lasts for about three evenings on full charge and it comes with 240v and 12v charging cables. Very bright and long lasting:

This might be OK in a well ventilated area (such as your tent appears to be?) but I must point out to other readers, particularly, but not exclusively, those who may have a sewn-in groundsheet, that there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in using any gas appliance inside a tent.

...Also have 1 of these this has been great as charge at home, in car on the way and then can leave outside to charge via solar panel at top or wind up if needed.

I can recommend the Trinity from Alpkit. Runs off 4 x AA batteries, has variable brightness, built-in hanging clip and doubles as a torch. It gives off a nice warm-white light when in lantern mode and is more than bright enough when on full power. They also do a smaller unit of similar design that uses 3 x AAA called the Glowe, though I haven't tried that one myself.
