The Lantern is always full if it is called "Lantern" in your inventory. If it is almost empty or empty it will state Lantern (Half-full) or Lantern (Empty).

In order to use it you need to go to your item menu (select) go to the Lantern, select it and choose "use" from the options. This is actually explained when you start the game for the first time as well. The lantern must be in your inventory. If it is in your item storage you cannot use it so be sure to retreive it.
