{{Quote2|Wind-proof storm lantern with mechanical ignitor. Burns kerosene.|In-game description}}

''For the unique variant of the Storm Lantern, see [[Spelunker's Lantern]].''

The '''Storm Lantern''' is a mobile light source that creates a large amount of light and a paltry amount of [[Warmth]]. The lantern's glass-encased flame allows the player to use it in even the windiest conditions, making it and the [[Flare]] the only light sources not reduced or extinguished by wind.

== Overview ==
Storm Lantern is a mobile source of light and [[Warmth]] which does not require Matches or other firestarters to ignite. The lantern's flame is also windproof, but unlike [[Flare|Flares]] it will not deter [[Wolf|wolves]]. The lantern requires no external ignition source, unlike [[Torch]]es. Lanterns can be placed ("RMB") on any flat surface, even when lit such as to provide light while crafting or reading at night. Lanterns can be refueled from [[Lantern Fuel]] or a [[Jerry Can]].

The Storm Lantern does not degrade condition when used or over time, but may suffer damage during a [[Struggle|Bear Struggle]]. It can be repaired with [[Scrap Metal]] and [[Simple Tools|Tools]]. If harvested, any fuel left inside of it it will be added to the survivor's inventory.
*Auto-igniter allows the Storm Lantern to be quickly ignited/extinguished without needing to use [[Wood Matches|Matches]] like a [[Torch]] would.
*A lit lantern adds 3*C the survivor's "Warmth" when ignited and equipped.
*Weighs 1.00kg when empty
*Can hold up to 1 liter (0.26 gallons) of Lantern Fuel which is enough to use continuously for 4 in-game hours (weighing 1.8 kg when fully fueled)
*The higher the amount of fuel stored inside Storm Lantern, the brighter the light it produces
*When below 10% (0.10kg) fuel and ignited, the Storm Lantern flame will flicker and sputter, and extinguishing itself at 0% fuel
The Storm Lantern can be quickly extinguished without needing to stop the survivor by pressing any hotkey (e.g. "2" to switch to a Weapon), while manually extinguishing it ("LMB") will cause the survivor to stop while extinguishing.

==Trivia==
*You can skip the Extinguish animation (which forces you to stop) by simply holstering the Lamp outright.
*The in-game model for the storm lantern appears to lack several vital components needed for an ordinary kerosene pressure lamp to function; such as a mantle, generator tube, pressure pump, and pre heater cup.
*A Storm Lantern is much brighter compared to the [[Spelunker's Lantern]], but consumes fuel faster.
*The Storm Lantern is most likely based on the Coleman 335 or 321 gas mantle lantern, which burns naphthalene or low grade gasoline instead of kerosene.
