Lantern (Fallout 76)

A lantern is a junk item in Fallout 76. There are two variants with the same name but different characteristics.

Gameplay
The lantern is a steel standing lamp with a glass shield, secured in place by a wire frame, surrounding the gas flame. It has an overhead handle so it illuminates the surrounds area, as opposed to a torch which will only illuminate the area directly ahead.

The Powerlite variant of the lantern does not require oil to fuel it.
