IMHO there is only one way to go now and that is LED. Absolutely silent and use hardly any power.
I have one of these Coleman "Quad" lanterns as a last resort backup http://www.colemanaustralia.com.au/g...d-lantern.aspx
Very versatile and batteries last for yoinks
For the camp lighting I use LED strips from Ebay connected to the vehicle or camper battery. They draw virtually nothing so won't drain the battery and put out heaps of light
I recommend 5050 SMD LED strips (I buy 5 metres and make my own strips as required but the soldering is very fiddly so buy one of the appropriate length if you like)

1 metre is say $10 and 5 metres is maybe $30 and they can be trimmed or joined or whatever
Add a dimmer for $5 and you can leave them on low all night if you have kids or whatever and use maybe 2 or 3 amp hours total
