Carmen I liked the Cabela's 12 LED lantern with remote so much that we got a second one. The remote is extremely handy to have. You can just leave the lamp in a tree somewhere near the tent. Then you can switch it off from within when you are ready to bed down. But the best part is that you can switch it on again from inside the tent if you should need to get up in the middle of the night for some reason. The light is most certainly bright enough for most purposes. We got the second one to keep at the house in case the power should go out. The battery life is most certainly as good as is advertized.
