A dollar store or Walmart. Get one that uses tea lights. But don’t use it in your tent.

Most camping supply places, to include REI have an candle type "lantern" that holds the candle, has a glass lens that keeps the wind out and has a chain/"S" hook arrangement for hanging. I have had mine for about 15 years. — Steve

It sounds like you are referring to a candle lantern ("spring loaded contraption"). If you broke it the first time out maybe you had a defective one or one of the cheap knock-offs. I’ve had my UCO candle lantern for well over 10 years and never had a problem with it. There are TONS of candle holders out there. I don’t know where you are located, but the TJ MAXX chain of stores frequently has assorted types of tealight style lanterns and some that hold larger candles. A friendly warning though, some of the lanterns are really for show and I wouldn’t recommend them for outdoor use, especally the silly ones with pillars or tops made of wood! A final thought. If you consider a candle lantern complicated maybe you should stick to flashlights and not play with fire. Dutch "I think therefore I am…usually in a lot of trouble."

I also have a UCO spring loaded candle holder and am very happy with it. Did you buy another brand or get a bad one? Try www.rei.com.

I bought a candle holder for camping and a bunch of camping candles. The candle holder was a complicated spring loaded contraption that broke the first time I tried to replace the candle. Is there a simple candle holder I can get? Just something that blocks the wind and has a hook for hanging? Thanks! Chuck.
