Torch Flashlight

What are the advantages of a paraffin lamp in a torch (flashlight)?

I've always preferred a paraffin lamp to a lamp while camping, but that's only because I'm old-fashioned. But I understand that there are advantages - what are they?

Torch batteries will run down quickly continued use while the lamp is going to keep hours in a landfill. Much better to read in bed. Also give a much greater diffusion of light, but not too bright. I prefer to use the type of camping gas light. There is a brighter light and will last a long time in each container.
