My hunting lodge at Delta Marsh was equipped with those propane lights fed via the copper tubing. And as noted by Chuck, the old style burn brighter than the modern ones. If it saves one child!
Our solution, similar to what Jimmy was mentioning, was to acquire a good number of oil lamps as well. Set the wives to work garage sale-ing to find the older vintage quality lamps. Which they found in short order. Then we just got used to the soft glow. Worked well with a couple tired dogs, a tumbler of scotch or bourbon and a good meal.
Which in time I came to value that lighting as it really set the tone that I was in an entirely different place. A peaceful one, somewhat devoid of modern conveniences. Hell, we had to stand on the roof to get cell service. LOL
