I have several vintage Coleman lanterns that I would like to use for lighting in my gun room, I am looking for a business or an individual to convert them to electric. Can anyone help?

I think it would be pretty easy to do, using candle shaped bulbs and a a little brazing, cool idea

just about any local lightning store should be able to do the conversion.

Battery powered Coleman lanterns with 12v versions of the mini-fluorescent bulbs are marketed - look just like the liquid fueled ones, we have a couple (but one refuses to take a charge now, after a lot of use)..

you can get new batteries off of ebay for a reasonable price.
