How to Choose the Best Camping Lantern for Your Adventure
Not sure which lantern is right for your next trip? Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect glow:
1. Consider Your Power Source
Going off-grid? A solar camping lantern or rechargeable USB lantern is a great eco-friendly option. Sticking to sites with access to power or packing plenty of batteries? Then a battery-powered lantern will do the trick. For traditionalists, gas lanterns still offer excellent brightness and long-lasting light.
2. Brightness Matters
Measured in lumens, brightness is key.
- Up to 300 lumens: Ideal for small tents or reading at night
- 300–600 lumens: Perfect for general campsite lighting
- 600+ lumens: Best for group areas, cooking spots, or lighting up larger spaces
3. Size & Portability
Backpacking? Choose a collapsible or lightweight lantern to save space. Car camping? Feel free to go bigger and bolder with high-output models or combo lights with extra features.
4. Extra Features to Light Up Your Life
Some lanterns come with clever extras—like mosquito-repelling functions, hanging hooks, or multi-mode lighting. Want to add some campsite charm? Look for string lights or orb-style tent lights for a bit of ambience.
5. Weather Resistance
Camping doesn’t always mean sunshine. Look for lanterns with IPX ratings for water resistance to keep you shining through any surprise showers.
Whether you're pitching up for a weekend or heading out on a week-long trek, the right camping lantern makes every evening brighter, safer, and way more enjoyable. Explore our full range to find your camping light must-have!
