Abstract
A lantern includes a fluorescent tube light and an auxiliary incandescent light. The incandescent light is covered by a colored lens. A control knob operates a switch in electrical connection with an electric power source, the fluorescent tube light, and the incandescent light, with the control knob being operable between a 'first' or off position in which both lights are off, a 'second' position in which the incandescent light is on and the fluorescent light is off, and a 'third' position in which the incandescent light is off and the fluorescent light is on.
