How to Choose a Camping Lantern?
Picking the right camping Lantern matches your needs to the available features. The two main decisions are power source and brightness. Electric Lanterns, powered by batteries or USB, are quiet, lightweight, and have multiple light settings. However, batteries can die in the cold and need replacing, while rechargeable options might require a mid-trip charge on longer adventures. A solar Lantern is a great option for backpackers or if you are off the grip camping.
Think about how you'll use the Lantern too. All features to consider are run time, durability, water resistance, and different light settings. By considering these factors, you'll be sure to find the perfect Lantern to brighten up your next camping trip.
How Many Lumens Should a Camping Lantern Be?
Choosing the right lumens for your camping Lantern depends on your needs. A solo camper or someone who needs light for reading in a tent will be happy with a Lantern between 40 and 100 lumens. For a small group that needs to light up the campsite, a Lantern in the 200-350 lumen range is ideal. If you're in a large group or want a very bright light, then you'll want to consider a Lantern with 400 lumens or more.
There are other things to consider besides lumens. Lanterns with higher lumens tend to have shorter battery life. Weight and size are important factors, especially if you are backpacking and want to minimize your weight. Finally, many Lanterns come with multiple brightness modes, so you can adjust the light to your needs and conserve battery life. If you don’t have a power source, a great alternative would be a solar-powered Lantern to help light your way.
