When calculating the weight of the camping lantern, remember to also consider the weight of the power supply.

Talking about comfy sleeping bags, our range of air beds is a great option if you would like to have the luxury of sleeping on a well-cushioned bed – just like home. Most rechargeable lanterns have long-lasting battery lives to suffice time away from a power supply, but some have longer-lasting batteries than others.It can even double as a power bank for your phone or other devices because of its power output port.

If you’re after the traditional camping lantern style, the best LED rechargeable lantern is this affordable one from LE. They work like regular bulbs when the power supply is available, during which time they also recharge while the switch is on. It gets a good 8 hours use before needing a USB recharge, it’s waterproof and you can clean it by securing the USB port and rinsing it under the tap.

You can hang it using the 4 included adjustable loops, wrap it around an overhead beam, magnet it to a tent pole and best of all you can shove it all in the rip stop white nylon bag it comes with and hold it high like you would a traditional lantern. Alternatively they make a good lantern next to the kids beds or in the ol’ pokey toilet tent (Pro-tip, don’t position it behind you so you project yourself out to the rest of the site a la Austin Powers) They’re really affordable too and you can recharge them from a power pack. This rechargeable light can also run at 130LM and 70LM in lamp mode for three and a half hours and eight hours, respectively. The warmth and brightness of the glow can be adjusted with a metal rotary button placed on the base of the lamp, allowing campers to customise their utility to suit the ambience of the evening. All modes are controlled by one button and you can adjust the brightness by long pressing the button.

I’ve added this because alongside all our tent lanterns and lights, a headtorch still goes a long way. Water-resistant and with 75 hours of battery life, this lamp would make a great choice for a long time away from home. I have made a right mess of some tents by hanging fly paper inside them before now, so I was delighted to find this little beauty. The front light has two brightness levels, 1000 lumen and 400 lumen, to meet your different lighting requirements.Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT.
