The shape is borrowed from an oil lantern: aluminium frame, glass chimney, a carrying handle over the top. What sits inside is an LED running off a rechargeable cell. Blow across the top and the light goes out, the way it would if there were a wick in there.
It behaves like the object it is imitating. That is most of the appeal, and the battery figures are the reason it stays useful past the novelty.
Nothing is burning, so it can sit on a wooden table or go inside a tent.
Take it to a campsite, hang it from a hook on a covered porch, or stand it on a garden table after dark. At 10.5 by 27.6 cm it packs into a bag without much argument. The handle is sized for a hand in a glove.
Take the lamplight outside and leave the matches in the drawer.
