A portable signaling lantern includes a body having a device for hand-carrying the lantern. A housing is included which defines a battery chamber and includes a lamp on the face of the housing for illuminating an area in the vicinity of the housing with at least two closed loop arrays of solid state lamp devices disposed on the face of the housing about the lamp. The respective closed loop arrays of solid state lamp devices are arranged one inside the other and, when activated, have collective color outputs that are clearly visually distinguishable from a remote viewing position of greater than 1 km from the lantern. The body of the lantern includes a device for selectively activating the lamp or either of the solid state lamp devices utilizing one or more batteries in the battery chamber to power the lamp or array.
