The below camping light brands are the brands with relatively high sales at present. You can consider them when buying. In any case, the quality control of big brands should be more reliable than that of small brands.
Recommended standards for camping lights:
As an indispensable outdoor camping equipment, I will consider five factors when choosing camping lights: lighting time, lighting brightness, portability, waterproofness, and stability.
1.Lighting time
Whether it can continuously illuminate for a long time is an important criterion for considering camping lights, at least to meet the night lighting for a whole night. Professional camping lights will adopt USB direct charging design, which is more suitable for home and outdoor charging at any time and meet the flashlight mode (local spotlight irradiation) + camp use mode (large area lighting).
2. Lighting brightness
The output of light is measured in lumens. The higher the lumen, the brighter the light. The brightness of general camping lights is between 100-600 lumens. Professional camping lights can adjust the brightness at will to meet the diverse lighting needs of camping.
3. Portability
Portability is reflected in the folding storage volume (multi-angle rotation adjustment), fixing method, etc. Generally, we will buy camping lights that support hand-held and hanging (magnetically attached to any place where it can be hung), and multiple fixing methods can free your hands.
4.Waterproofness
Camping is bound to encounter rainy and humid environments, so the waterproof performance of camping lights is particularly important. Generally, IPX-4 waterproof level is selected, with good sealing performance. It can also be easily dealt with on rainy days.
5. Stability
Professional outdoor camping lights must not only provide high-quality light sources, but also be stable. Once the light source flickers, it not only affects the user experience, but also easily makes people think of distress signals, causing unnecessary trouble.
Camping Light Recommendations
In addition to meeting the above 5 standards, excellent camping lights also need to consider an important factor-price.
Therefore, when recommending, we divide the camping lights to be recommended into entry-level, mid-range, and high-end according to the price, and attach the reasons for recommendation and the advantages and disadvantages of the products for your reference~

The light source is strong, and the brightness is no problem for outdoor use. It can last for 10 hours. It has waterproof function, but it cannot be used for diving. When not camping, it can also be used as an emergency light in the event of an emergency power outage at home, or decorate the home interior, which is a good choice.
2. Motie Camping Star String Light
Recommendation reason: Camping star string lights are a must-have for camping atmosphere and are more suitable for arranging scenes and taking photos. Therefore, the brightness of the light is not high, and it certainly cannot be used for lighting.

Type-C charging is faster than half chargers. If necessary, it can be used as a mobile phone power bank.

02 Mid-level Range:
1.Pathfinder Camping Light Wilderness Camping Light
Recommendation: A retro hand-held light with super high appearance, with both function and appearance. Rechargeable, it takes about 4 hours to fully charge, and can last up to 50 hours. The cold and warm light sources can be switched, and there is a USB port, which can be used as an emergency power bank. If you have to find a disadvantage, it is that it is not waterproof.
2.Naturehik Xingmu Outdoor Atmosphere Camp Light
Recommendation reason: High-value atmosphere camp light, retro and exquisite appearance, progressive dimming, after the knob is halfway, it will turn to top light to provide 6-24 hours of lighting, and the irradiation range can be about 10 square meters. Turn on the light at night, the low gear is very soft, and the high gear is very bright, which is practical outdoors.
Water-proof function can be used in the rain. The charging port is type-C, which can be fully charged quickly. There is a USB interface, which can be used as an emergency power bank when necessary.
3. PHILIPS Camping Light
Recommendation reason: The product is good, stepless dimming, strong light and weak light switching is very convenient, the texture is good, the battery is very convenient to charge, the weight is moderate, it depends on whether the lamp beads have such a good life. The light range is simply amazing. I tried it once from the 20th floor to the first floor, and I could still see it!
With strong light mode, a full battery can last for 2.5 hours, but it is recommended not to use the lithium battery until it is exhausted, which will cause great damage to the battery.
4. TCL camping light
Recommendation reason: small and round, it does not take up space, can be placed or hung, the light brightness is very bright, but not dazzling. This is very important.
Multi-speed adjustment with strobe and SOS mode, powerful functions, specially used mobile phone camera, no ripples, indicating that the light frequency is normal, long-term use will not hurt the eyes, and the battery life was specially tested. It was not bad to open the highest brightness for two hours without losing a bar of power. It is charged with solar energy and suitable for outdoor use.
5. Black Deer Camping Light Torch Gas Lamp
Recommendation reason: Glass cover, metal body, good workmanship and not heavy to hold, glass cover, a plastic storage can to prevent bumps. This is an atmosphere lamp, it is still quite bright at night. A can of 230g gas can be lit for at least 30 hours
03 High-Level Range:
1. Xuefeng Outdoor Mini Glass Gas Lamp
Recommendation reason: Used in conjunction with mountaineering gas cans, the small flame lamp is full of mood in the quiet night. The light and compact gas lamp can not only add interest, but also provide small-scale lighting.
Extremely economical in gas consumption, consuming about 7g of gas per hour. Even if there is only a little gas left, it can still light up the lighting.
2.Coleman Camping Light
Recommendation reason: The texture is very good and the workmanship is still good! I just feel that the outer circle of the base is made of plastic, and the whole copper is better! Because it is an atmosphere light, it is naturally not as good as a dedicated camping light, but the brightness is OK. G2 or 5 gas tanks can be used for a long time. The light is not heavy, but it is heavy with the gas tank, which is not suitable for lightweight camping.
3.Beibang Pine Cone Light
Recommendation reason: Beibang is a favorite of many high-end camping players. As a player of the appearance school, whether it is his camping lights, railway lights or tool series, the appearance is very good, so it has also won the favor of a large number of camping players. This pine cone light camping player basically has one.
The color of the light is warm, and it uses stepless dimming. The maximum brightness is 220 lumens. It can also be used as the main light. The minimum brightness is 30 lumens. It can be used continuously for 200 hours in the lowest brightness mode. The charging cable can be perfectly hidden in the lampshade, and it comes with a carabiner, so you can hang it anywhere you want, or even use it as a decoration. It has a high sense of design and cost-effectiveness.
4. SUREI Multifunctional Camp Light
Recommendation reason: Use the highest brightness when fully charged, start to reduce the brightness after 8 hours, and the last grid of power starts to flash (a total of five grids). More than 800 lumens are indeed very bright, and 400 lumens are enough for daily use. Very, very small, much smaller than I thought.
It feels very good, very heavy, and has texture. The intensity of the light can be adjusted by remote control, and the remote control also has a small flashlight function, which is very convenient. But the remote control does need to be aimed at an angle, it is very sensitive if it is aimed, and it really doesn't work if it is not aimed.
