UCO Original Candle Lantern
Reliable, compact, and ready when you need it most, the UCO Original Candle Lantern has been trusted for over 50 years to provide dependable light for camping, emergency preparedness, power outages, and off-grid adventures—all without batteries or electricity.
Finished in Raw Aluminum, this lightweight lantern is built for everything from backpacking and RV travel to cabins, emergency kits, and backyard evenings. Its collapsible design packs down small to save valuable space in your backpack, vehicle, or emergency supplies, while the durable aluminum body and windproof glass chimney provide reliable performance in a wide range of outdoor conditions.
Each lantern includes one 15-hour UCO emergency candle, delivering a clean, steady flame that’s ideal for campsites, tents, cabins, or unexpected power outages. The spring-loaded candle system keeps the flame at a consistent height for even illumination, while the lockable base and integrated carry handle make it easy to transport, hang, or store. When it’s time for a replacement, the lantern is compatible with all UCO 15-hour candles, including paraffin, natural beeswax, and citronella options, allowing you to customize it for every adventure. Pair it with our UCO Natural Beeswax Candles (sold separately) for a naturally clean-burning lighting solution with burn times of up to 18 hours.
Whether you’re preparing for the unexpected or enjoying life outdoors, the UCO Original Candle Lantern is a timeless lighting solution built to provide dependable illumination wherever your journey leads.
