#1 Vont 4 Pack LED Camping Lantern

This kit consists of 4 lights and 12 batteries (3 units for each lamp). Light from 30 diodes is scattered in a circle and if it is too bright – just fold the lamp a little. This will not reduce energy consumption, which means it will not change the autonomy of work, but you can adjust the brightness. The principle of operation of the flashlight is very simple. While the lantern is folded, the spring presses on the internal switch, as soon as you have laid out the lantern, it turns on independently, after which the clamping handles can be used to hang the lantern in a tent, or on a branch. This is a controversial design experience. If the handles are accidentally open – the flashlight will drain the battery and will not be ready for use when needed. It is also important to mention the class of protection of the lamp from impacts. The level of technology corresponds to IP44. This is NOT a waterproof and NOT shockproof flashlight. It can withstand a transition in the rain or a fall from 10 feet onto the grass, but it does not need to be used as an all-weather street lamp. The seller speaks of guarantees when buying only licensed products. If you buy from other sellers Vont will not protect your purchase, so buy from an authorized manufacturer.

#2 Etekcity 4 Pack LED Camping Lantern Portable Flashlight

This is a set of 4 LED lights with a set of batteries for emergencies or camping. Scattered light up to 60LM is enough to illuminate a room or tent, but too little to mount on a bicycle and use it as a road lamp. Do not forget that the battery charge (below 3.7 volts) makes the light significantly dimmer. Etekcity says these are outdoor lights and this is only part of the truth. If you do not use flashlights in the rain, they will really give light all night. Poor sealing rings are not durable and will not protect against water, so even short-term immersion in water is a 100% instant breakdown. The lanterns don’t look bad, but the extra bubble wrap fixed a possible delivery clumsiness. You get what you pay for.

#3 LED Lantern V2.0 with Flashlight – The ORIGINAL Lantern/Flashlight

This superb concept has been made possible thanks to modern technology. Energy-saving LEDs have been replaced with brighter and more economical COB strips. This gives an incredible brightness of 350 lumens over the whole night with one set of batteries. Even when the batteries are completely discharged (up to 1 volt), the flashlight continues to dimly light! This is unbelievable! A really good design allows you to use this device as a lantern or flashlight. To activate the lantern – lay it out and it will turn on automatically. Use the button to turn on the flashlight beam. The flashlight does not have a protective cap, but this is not necessary. Transparent plastic found at a depth of 1/4 “which protects it from scratches while using the lantern. If the quality of Chinese products were stable, it would be an ideal product. Weak moisture protection and cheap material significantly spoil this flashlight. We strongly recommend that you test the purchase immediately after receipt.

#4 Gold Armour LED Camping Lantern, 4 Pack & 2 Pack (500 Lumens)

This simple and reliable flashlight is suitable for emergency lighting in the event of a power outage or for reading a book in a tent. Be prepared with full disclosure and with new batteries – the light will be very strong. It will be impossible to look at the switched-on lamp for more than 1 second. From July 1, 2018, all lights have a brightness of 500 lumens, but 350 lumens can be indicated on the box. This is not confusion, this is a product update. A stronger flashlight is packaged in an old box for greater savings. Consider this a nice bonus. The flashlight shows itself perfectly in the field, the only drawback is the weak batteries in the kit. If you take it to a tent, take care of spare batteries.

#5 LE LED Camping Lantern, Battery Powered LED (1000LM)

EVER LE is the bright solution to lighting problems. 1000 lumens of bright white (6000K) or warm yellow light (3000K) is enough to fully illuminate the middle room or even read a book. You can choose 1 of 4 operating modes by simply switching a single button. In the brightest light, a single charge of batteries is enough to work for more than 12 hours in a row. 2 hooks (with a snap hook) on the upper and lower sides allow you to choose the optimal range of lighting, and the base with rubber crumb prevents non-slippery surfaces when installing. This flashlight has special power problems. For power use 3 alkaline batteries 1.5 V type-D. Never try to install a lithium (rechargeable) battery. When the lithium is operating, it generates heat that cannot be removed. From this, the plastic heats up and deforms, which leads to the displacement of the contacts and damage to the lamp. In addition, closing the lid will require additional effort. Without proper dexterity, this can take 10-15 minutes and a lot of anger. Another feature is the flashing green every few seconds when the power is turned off. This helps to find the flashlight in complete darkness but can be annoying, especially when preparing for bed. The whole problem is that it cannot be turned off, but the manufacturer says that he fixed this function in the new version of the flashlight.

#6 Odoland Portable LED Camping Lantern with Ceiling Fan

This unusual lamp was created for summer camping and emergencies on hot days. The unusual design and advanced functionality make it an interesting subject of ammunition. A sufficiently large fan can be suspended in a tent and with a small rustle blow air while you sleep. White light from 18 LEDs installed in a circle will uniformly illuminate a small room for up to 20 hours. Managing this device is very simple, for this there are 2 switches on the side panel. The fan switch has 2 modes of operation, weak (almost useless) and normal. The flashlight does not have an average value, it either turns on or off, the illumination is not regulated. An unpleasant discovery can be significant power drops while turning on the lamp and fan. In this mode, the light becomes much dimmer and the power of the airflow is weak. It is also not recommended to leave the device without protection from water. Rain can turn off the miracle flashlight quickly and forever.

#7 DealBang Compact LED Camping Light Bulbs with Clip Hook (Battery Included)

This is a set of 4 pendant LED stand-alone lamps for camping and emergency situations. In this proposal, the lamps are made of black ABS plastic, but there are other colors: blue, green, red, and orange. These lights will add creativity to your photoshoot or decorate your pavilion for night trading. Their advantage is small size and 3 light modes. A flashing operation mode (strobe) can create a party atmosphere or become a signal of help if you agree with your neighbors. If you use a flashlight in a tent, turning it off will not be available until you switch the flashlight and test the strobe in the middle of the night (this can be unpleasant). Flashlights are designed to use AAA batteries (very weak). Compared to other energy sources, AAA batteries have only 1/3 of the power of AA batteries and 1/10 of the power of D-cells. Therefore, the light from these lamps is not very bright and does not last as long as we would like. Another problem is the Chinese quality. If you are ready to rush – it will be an interesting experience.

#8 Coleman LED Lantern | 390 Lumens Twin LED Lantern

This flashlight from the legendary Coleman embodies a combination of modern technology and proven reliability. The manufacturer claims good water resistance and battery life at a brightness of 100 lumens up to 299 hours. What could be better? – adjustable brightness up to 390 lumens! this is unbelievable! The whole secret is in 4 powerful LED panels and 8 D-batteries. They make the flashlight heavy enough, but incredibly hardy. This lantern will not roast nocturnal insects but will shed light 30 feet in the county. A 5-year limited warranty will protect you from factory defects and advanced protection against weather elements will make the lamp a reliable companion during rest and power outages.

#9 EZORKAS 2 Pack Camping Lanterns

This set of 2 lights will be a great choice for every adult. Thanks to the thoughtful design, this lamp will be useful: during interruptions in electricity, at a campsite or in an emergency vehicle kit. 4 lighting modes allow you to use a focused beam or a lantern with circular lighting and even mount it to metal surfaces (for example, to the hood). The red light can act as a stroboscope and indicate the position of the protruding part, or flicker as an SOS signal. Another advantage is the combined power system. The built-in battery can be charged from USB, and 3 AA batteries can be easily bought at any store or a gas station. Of the disadvantages, a significant loss of brightness after 2-3 hours of operation can be noted. This is enough to orient in an emergency and the lamp will continue to work all night (another 9 hours), but this light will be very dim.

#10 MPOWERD Luci Outdoor 2.0 – Inflatable Solar Light

If you are tired of buying and changing batteries in your flashlight, then this product is for you! Luci Outdoor 2.0 is an inflatable solar flashlight powered by a built-in lithium battery. All you need is to put it in the sun for 7 hours, and then enjoy the light for 24 hours. It has 4 lighting modes, from low, medium, high, and blinking at intervals of 1 second. It is equipped with a button charge indicator from 1 to 3 tags, which shows how much your flashlight is charged. Waterproof, lightweight, easy to use and very compact, folds up to 1 inch! Inflated like an ordinary children’s toy through a valve. There is also a latching belt that allows you to attach the flashlight to anything. Yes, it’s just a godsend for camping, fishing, kayaking, and in emergency cases. Ideal for hot climates, since a 7-hour charge time in direct sunlight, may not be feasible for another climate. You can safely take it, a good thing. And if you suddenly come across a broken or partially serviceable flashlight, do not worry. Customer service will help with the exchange and return as soon as possible.

#11 Energizer LED Camping Lantern Flashlight (650 Hour Run-Time)

This traditional manual flashlight is most effective in emergencies and long-term work in the dark. 150 hours of operation at a maximum brightness of 500 lumens and 650 hours with a dim glow – this is incredible. This is possible due to the good design and large capacity of Energizer MAX D. batteries. Another unique feature of the flashlight is the ability to use 3 AA batteries or 3 type D batteries. Weaker AA batteries will provide less luminosity, but most importantly, the flashlight will work! Also, IPX4 provides sufficient survivability in the fall and water resistance for a short stay in the rain. But do not try your luck. Leaving this lamp in the rain is not recommended. The declared brightness of 500 lumens is the brightness of the LED at the focal point. The actual brightness of the flashlight is less than stated due to the matte plastic that surrounds the diodes.

#12 Internova Monster LED Camping Lantern

Internova Monster LED Flashlight with 1,500 lumens. The seller has another flashlight with 800 lumens. But we will talk about a lamp with 1,500 lumens. It has 4 brightness modes: maximum, high, medium, and low – which is very convenient in various situations. At the maximum mode, up to 5 hours of continuous operation. Power mode from 4 D batteries, which unfortunately are not included. This flashlight is equipped with a convenient handle and a built-in hook under the bottom cover, for hanging it on various objects. It has a rubberized case, which makes it possible to use it in bad weather. Durable and very light, weighing just 1.5 pounds. This lamp will be a good helper in camping, emergency situations, when the power is cut off, because without any problems to cope to illuminate the courtyard or room. It shines very brightly, like the sun). But we advise you to remove the batteries when you are not using them to avoid self-discharge and corrosion. Of the minor flaws, it’s hard to close the bottom cover after installing the batteries. And the fact that the hook that is built into the bottom of the flashlight is made of plastic and can break when pressed hard. Affordable and very bright flashlight.

#13 Streamlight 44931 Siege Compact, Cordless (540 Lumens)

This camping lamp will help to solve any lighting problem. If you want to read, a brightness of 540 lumens will provide you with this opportunity. Too bright? – Reduce power to medium or minimum. Soft red light (10 lumens) will help you navigate the camp and not disturb your neighbors. Hold the switch until the continuous red setting turns on, press it again to blink red, again to turn off. If you want to return to white, hold the button until the white parameter returns. The design of the flashlight makes it versatile and very practical. A compartment with 3 D elements makes the base stable, and folding hooks allow you to hang the lamp on a branch, or in a tent. Separately, it must be said about strength. Streamlight really cares about the quality of its products and the safety of its fans. IPX7 is enough for ordinary camping. Rubber bumpers will protect against shocks, and a floating cover and strong polycarbonate will let water pass and leave the flashlight afloat! The only thing that remains for you to do is to stock up batteries of type D since this flashlight does not have a charging function or operation from the network.

#14 SUAOKI Led Camping Lanterns for Lighting (Powered by Solar Panel and USB Charging)

LED flashlight SUAOKI is presented in the form of an accordion. Expanding or collapsing the flashlight allows you to get the maximum or minimum brightness. Very light and compact, does not take up much space. The built-in 800 mAh lithium battery makes it possible to use the flashlight battery as a Power Bank and recharge your mobile phone. The flashlight itself can be charged from the sun or USB. A micro USB cable is included with the flashlight. The lamp has three lighting modes: high, low, and blinking. When fully charged: high mode – 5 hours of operation, with low mode – 10 hours of operation, blinking – 6 hours of operation. According to the seller, it may be a good choice for camping and emergencies. And now about the not very pleasant facts of this lamp. Very fragile, more like a children’s toy. Poor quality control, at its first opening the accordion cylinder simply breaks and bends in different directions. Very thin plastic of the cylinder itself and because of this, it is practically impossible to fold it back. And the plastic handle can break at the slightest pressure on it. The solar battery itself is practically not charged in the sun. Recharging the phone also does not work, because 800 mAh is not enough since telephone batteries have batteries from 3000 mAh. The design and the very idea of this flashlight are very good, lack of quality workmanship. Not suitable for daily use, only as emergency lighting for a short time.

Tactical & Survival Expert

I am from the generation that tried to repeat all the tricks of Jackie Chan, hunted birds with homemade bows, and built my mini-base in the forest. At the age of 18, I was a scout in PLAST (scout organization) and participated in campaigns and quests. Somehow we decided to test ourselves, took our backpacks and walked 50 km (31 miles) in 1 day. We had a lot of fun!

Remembering my past, I ask in bewilderment: “How am I alive after all my adventures?” - harsh trials, reckless parties, love affairs, and a sea of silliness.

My hobbies are weapon upgrades, tactical gear, and the latest in wilderness survival technology. I have hundreds of different survival gadgets in my collections, which are sent to me for "test-driving" by Amazon, eBay, and other online retailers. That's what I write about, and I also make YouTube videos about them! Stay tuned!
