The Robens Snowdon Gas Lantern screws straight onto a standard EN417 gas cartridge and gives off a warm, candle-like flame. There is no mantle to fit or break, and it runs for up to 56 hours on a 230g cartridge at its medium setting. It comes with its own hard case.
No mantle. Gas mantles turn brittle once lit and break easily in a pack. The Snowdon burns with an open flame behind borosilicate glass, so there are no spares to carry.
Simple to light. There is no push-button igniter to wear out. Open the valve and light it with a match or lighter.
Compact and protected. At 5 x 13cm and 122g, it is light enough for a backpacking kit. The hard case protects the glass in transit.
It suits wild campers and backpackers who want soft background light at camp rather than a bright work light. Use it outdoors or in a well-ventilated shelter, never inside a closed tent.
