In Lieu of a MV light

[Rob Vandermoor]

  I used a Coleman lantern for many years with good results. Eventually I
did fork out the cash for a small Honda EX-350 watt generator. It weighs
only 9 lbs and it runs very quietly for about 2 hours on about a quart of
gasoline. I run a 175 watt multi-vapor bulb and have had terrific results
with this system, considerably better than with the Coleman lantern. But for
general effectiveness, portability and fuel efficiency it's still hard to
beat a Coleman lantern.
