I realize that this is an old thread but found this via a link from google because it referenced Tilley Lamps.
After reading the thread I have to say that you have to take in to account a number of things.
First, your application for the requirement of lighting, if you are camping, what type of camping activity are you partaking in and do you need a simple torch or do you need something that will provide a light source for longer hours.
Tilley Lamps may be used for camping and fishing but you should not forget that pressure lanterns were used in the home long before electricity came in to general use and in some homes were still in use up to the early 1960's and yes, Tilley lamps are still being made today just like many other pressure lantern manufacturers because you still have lots or rural areas in the world that are still today without electric.
The advantage of a pressure lantern is not just the fact that for a small unit it gives off anything from 300 to 500 candle power of light, its the area that it can illuminate that you need to consider but also these generate useful heat that can warm a tent or caravan in cold wet weather.
Yes pressure lanterns are smelly and they will be if you use ordinary paraffin (Kerosene) you have to source a supply of sulphur free kerosene to burn in these devices and you will not have any smell.
Hurricane lanterns produce very little light compared to a pressure lantern and if your lighting needs are not requiring a bright light then this would be ample but the glass gets sooty whereas a pressure lantern does not if used properly.
Torches are practical because they give instant light, no fiddling around trying to light your hurricane lantern or having to wait for the pre heater torch to do its stuff with the pressure lantern. So a torch is a must for anyone needing instant light.
Candles in a camp are not practical at all. I am not saying that you shouldn't have them but for use as in general lighting is a bad idea, best left for home use.
Your choice of lighting requirement should be based on what your needs are and like any kind of camping gear, lanterns and cookers and pressure lanterns and open flames all resent risk and careful consideration should be given to positioning and ensure any kind of lighting that produces heat is placed on a solid surface so that it can't move.
You have those who claim that pressure lanterns are difficult to use, light and maintain, well lighting a pressure lantern is no more difficult than lighting a hurricane lantern, maintaining one is just as easy as a hurricane lantern as its a question of following the instructions and the hissing noise aspect, thats just part of the charm of a pressure lantern.
Finally, my personal preference to camp lighting is a Tilley Lantern and I have a back up LED torch (of the CREE type or White light, not those "Bluish" type white lights) which gives a good amount of light for a 1 Watt LED.
Happy Camping.
