"All fueled lanterns are somewhat hazardous due to the danger of handling flammable and toxic fuel, danger of fire or burns from the high temperatures involved, and potential dangers from carbon monoxide poisoning if used in an enclosed environment."
If you don't think that you can handle a fueled lantern, you are not on your own. Most people would likely prefer a light that they can simply turn on and off. If thats you, then have no fear! Alightingstore.com is here!!!

Whale Oil (No Longer Necessary)
"In 1849, Dr. Abraham Gesner, a Canadian geologist, devised a method where kerosene could be distilled from petroleum. Earlier coal-gas methods had been used for lighting since the 1820s, but they were expensive. Gesner's kerosene was cheap, easy to produce, could be burned in existing lamps, and did not produce an offensive odor as did most whale oil. " -The Internet
