This allows you to carry enough tealights for 6-8 hours of light, with each UCO Tealight Candle providing a 3-4 hour burn time. Including the two tealight candles, the Micro Lantern weighs a mere 4.2 ounces. Has a chain and hook to hang in the cockpit or in the saloon. The new Micro Lantern is available in
