Yeah, there are both kerosene and LED lanterns here. If it's just a short power outage, there's no reason to break out the kerosene. An LED lantern is fine until the sun comes up and they don't smell. My other half liked my County Comm Lumora LED lantern so much I bought one just for her.

OT: GasOne now has a dual fuel version. GAS ONE NEW GS-3400P Dual Fuel Portable Propane & Butane...
