I suppose you could make your own diffuser to fit over the flashlight
head,like maybe a translucent plastic tub salvaged from some food

That idea for a camping lantern does seem like a good product to

Agree but after looking it seems only two bulb
technologies above.... fluorescent and regular old

Of course,my $12 Everready 4D cell double tube flourescent lantern works
great,runs for 20 hrs on both tubes or 40hrs on one tube.
too bad they don't make them any more,or are hard to find.
I just don't see them in the stores anymore,just the newer LED version.

that the tool makers hv.... Li on that is
