These are versatile items and you can use them also as a portable emergency light at home and in any similar situations. With a small initial investment you will have a tool that will serve you for years, just keep it in the direct sunlight during the day and it will charge itself.
How to choose
Here are a few factors given in no particular order, to bear in mind when you choose such solar powered lanterns for camping:
Design & shape: You can see a few different types in the top picture above. But quite generally, these camping tools can be:
- Fixed shape outdoor solar-powered lanterns. In a way, this type is similar to solar garden lanterns. So if the storage and portability are a big issue for you, check the next group.
- Compressible camping lanterns, or they are described also as inflatable. This means you can close them when not in use so that they take less space in transportation. They can be very thin when compressed.
Charging time & charging types: These lights come with an integrated battery, and for each of them you will have charging time indicated. Obviously, the shorter the time the better, but this is measured in hours, just to know. This is dependent on the solar panel performance and efficiency, and on the quality of the battery.
But if the sky is not clear, it is always good to have some alternative ways of charging such a lantern. This is why you will see some with USB port. Typically, the charging time in this case is considerably shorter. The more options the better, so these may also include DC and car plug-in.
Lumens & working modes: This is about brightness and how much light it gives. The strongest can give you up to 600 lumens, but you can do well with 10 times less. This will depend on the size of the tent and on your activity. So for example, for reading you will easily manage with 50-100 lumens.
This is also related to lighting modes, and these tools can be sophisticated and offer a variety of options so that you can be economical with the light and use the right amount when you need it. For each of the working modes you will have indicated the number of hours of light that the lantern is able to provide.
There are also differences in light quality and type, so it can be soft or harsh, but this is an individual matter.
How many hours of light they provide: This is related both to the capacity of the integrated battery and the selected mode of lighting. You will see in the specifications that some claim they can light for up to 24 hours under the low light conditions.
Weather resistance: This is described with the IP rating or Ingress Protection Marking. So if you see IP68 you should know that this is practically the best you can have. The number 6 here is protection against dust and this is the highest possible. The number 8 is against water and the highest possible is 9.
When you inspect the list you will realize that most of the items are Amazon Prime products, and this means you can have them shipped for free. There are always some of them that are on sale, so follow the green sale marks and you can save some money.
