Camping lighting: compare prices

Good light makes evenings at the campsite a lot easier. In this category you compare camping lanterns, head torches and tent lights, with the brightness, the power source and the current price at the shop. All camping gear together is in camping.

Which light for what?

• Camping lantern: lights up the table or the whole pitch. There are lanterns on batteries, with a rechargeable battery and on gas.
• Head torch: keeps your hands free, handy for pitching the tent in the dark or on the way to the toilet block.
• Tent light: a small light or string light to hang in the tent or under the awning.

Brightness and power

Brightness is given in lumens. Inside the tent a low setting is often enough; for a whole table or pitch, choose a lantern with more lumens. A rechargeable light charges via usb, a battery light is handy when you have no power. The filters let you choose by type, brightness and power source.

Gas lantern

A gas lantern gives a lot of light and heat, but it is only meant for outdoor use. Never use it in a tent or any other enclosed space, let it cool down before packing it away and keep it away from tent fabric. The cartridges are in gas and burners.

Handy at the campsite

Hang a lantern with a hook or handle under the awning or in the tent. For a longer holiday, bring a light you can charge from a power bank, or spare batteries. In the evening, a warm light colour is often more pleasant around the tent than bright white light; many lights have several settings.
