Lantern of Revealing 5e
Wondrous Item, uncommon
While lit, this hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Invisible creatures and objects are visible as long as they are in the lantern's bright light. You can use an action to lower the hood, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot radius.

This little hooded lantern has an incredible look with an odd eye-like ornament where the light projects. It takes oil, making it a bit of upkeep to track, but if you need to detect an invisible creature, this is an easy way to do it!
The light projected equals that of a regular Hooded Lantern, with identical oil consumption costs and lid-closing ability.
While the Light cantrip and torches don’t require oil to maintain, lanterns project far wider areas of light, making them great options if you want greater areas of light.
There are roughly thirty-four total creatures in all of the Monster Manual and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes that can become invisible.
