A new and improved portable electric lantern apparatus includes a base assembly which includes a housing portion, a lamp-supporting portion supported by the housing portion, and a light-diffuser-retaining portion supported by the lamp-supporting portion. A plurality of strut members are connected to the base assembly and project upward from the base assembly. A handle-supporting assembly is connected to the strut members. A handle is supported by the handle-supporting assembly. The handle is located above the base assembly and above the strut members. The handle is connected to the handle-supporting assembly by a pivoted connection. The handle includes a curved portion adapted to be hung from a wall fastener. A light diffuser is supported by the light-diffuser-retaining portion of the base assembly. The light diffuser extends upward from the base assembly toward the handle-supporting assembly. The light-diffuser-retaining portion is comprised of a plurality of resilient leaves arrayed circumferentially around the light diffuser. The lamp assembly may include a lamp that includes a bulbous bottom portion and pointed top portion such that the lamp resembles a flame. An illumination modulation assembly is placed in an electrical circuit between the lamp and the electrical power source. The illumination modulation assembly includes both a circuit interrupter for causing illumination from the lamp to flicker in simulation of a flange and a dimmer assembly for dimming illumination provided by the lamp.
