I own a Krill light and it is very nice, but today I just use something like a Fenix flashlight on low, laid inside of a medicine bottle or an empty water bottle, as a diffuser.

A Fenix LD12, uses a single AA battery, and will burn on low (3-ANSI Lumens) for 97 hours.
Placed inside of a milky plastic water bottle, used for camping, or even inside of a white supermarket plastic grocery bag, it serves the same purpose of being a glow lamp.

I peel the label off and drill the proper size hole in the cap of vitamin or medicine containers, preferring the transparent brownish, medicine bottles. With a lanyard on the flashlight it makes a nice hanging lantern.

All of my led flashlight and headlights with long burn times have homemade diffusers

Sounds like a good idea. My regular LED flashlight is plenty bright, but it wipes out my night vision. I've got a piece of red lighting gel somewhere around here, I can't believe I didn't think of using that already. Thanks.
