I've used Dietz hurrcane lanterns for over 40 years. Love 'em.
I used to always tie a loop in the tent line over the front door, and take one turned down as low as it could go and hang it there as a "porch light" when I went to bed. It was *always* still lit whenever I needed to get up in the middle of the night. Only once did I ever have one blow out due to wind.
The only thing I don't like is that they shine in your face when you're trying to see where you're going, so I always put aluminum foil over one side of the globe so I can use it as a spotlight. Tried silver paint a few times, but it didn't last long from the heat, so went back to foil.
Though lately...I've got a SERIOUS hankerin' for a Britelyt:
