Camping is a great way to escape life’s demands—an adventure potentially full of many great memories. As fall enters a full swing, you may be considering a camping trip with family or friends. With the comforting autumn weather here, you’ll want to indulge in and experience the great outdoors—but you need the right equipment for optimal comfort and safety. The following lighting sources are great options for your next camping trip:

Headlamps

Hands-free, directed light with a rechargeable headlamp.

If you need a light that does not require you to hold onto it, headlamps are the ideal fit; they will fit comfortably on your head and direct light to your desired area. Your hands will be free to focus on other tasks, and you'll never have to worry about dropping your flashlight or losing light. Headlamps come with a variety of features, and some will have a red light option, allowing you to read without bothering your fellow campers.

Lanterns

Omnidirectional area lighting & LED tent lights

A centrally placed lantern is ideal when cooking, reading or playing on a campsite. A lantern light can be placed on a table or suspended on its own stand, which is the best way to light a larger space. A range of fuels can be used, including liquid fuel, propane or butane. This light will provide you with plenty of brightness, and you can embark on any camping expedition without difficulty. 

Flashlights

Focused beam with an EDC flashlight

Flashlights are standard equipment for any camping trip and will light the path to wherever you need to go. Flashlights are small, light and bright, and you can choose the correct brightness based on your needs. You can navigate through a trail at night thanks to the focused beam they provide, or address any concern or emergency in the dark—you will feel safer when you have a reliable flashlight at your side.

Other Considerations:

Battery vs. Rechargeable

Rechargeable flashlights are great if you are interested in longer run times per charge. They will last longer compared to a flashlight with disposable batteries, but you must remember to charge them because you won't be able to run into a store and grab batteries if you are in a hurry. Finding yourself without a charge can be problematic—consider which option is more practical for your camping needs.

The Importance of lumens/brightness for your camping light:

You will need to select the appropriate brightness for your site. If you are interested in reading a book or want to look for items in your tent, a 30 or 40-lumen flashlight would be great. 

If you want to explore the forest or are worried about animals lurking in the shadows, you will need a flashlight that can pierce the dark with bright beams and choose a flashlight with over 3000-lumen ratings.
