Light Pours everywhere by use of many concave lenses. Looks like a cube, but caved in at the middle of each side. Bulb is in the middle. never be scared again in a lonely dark woods. Make every thing light! Bound to get people yelling at you to "turn off dag light" . O.K. its not that intersesting,
but vote for me anyway!

Why is this better than an ordinary lantern? |

A little incoherent, but I think what he's saying is that instead of a plain lantern that has just plain glass on the sides, it's got a lens on each side. 'Caved in' indicates a concave lens, which focuses the light instead of scattering it, so you'd end up with a bunch of small points instead of a field of light...I don't really know what he's trying to do here... |

Concave lenses scatter light. Convex lenses focus it. I'm not sure how much more "scattered" light can get than the way it initially comes from a light bulb (i.e. radiating in all directions), though. |
