LED Ultra Bright Camping Lantern - AAA Battery Powered by Litelife

Some things about camping have gotten so much easier. I started going camping back in the 70's when I was a kid and you had four choices for lighting:

1) The heavy flashlight with the C or D batteries that barely lit up anything and would run out of power on the second night out.

2) The camping lantern with the big lantern battery in it. It weighed a ton but and you could never find a good place to put it in a tent because there was no way it was hanging from the center - it could pull the whole tent down!

3) Kerosene lantern. Did I mention that I was a kid in the 70's? Well, you don't send a little kid off with something that could burn the whole campground down.

4) Build a really big campfire and hope for the the best.

Thanks to much better batteries and LED lights the lighting problem while camping has been resolved and this tiny Litelife camping lantern is a great example of that.

This easily fits in the palm of your hand and just one would easily light up a tent. If you are not into camping, these lights would be great in case of a power outage.

They are equipped with a carabiner-type clip so that the light can be attached to the top of a tent. Or, pop open the clip and use it as a stand to aim the light across a table. Or, clip the light to the back of a backpack if you are hiking or biking along a road at night and want to be noticed.

The light has 5 settings. There is high, medium and low brightness, a strobe setting and an SOS setting - it flashes SOS in morse code. I guess you could stick it in a ziploc bag and take it boating as an emergency light.

On top of all that - they are magnetic on the bottom! Note: these are not super-strong magnets, but they stick to the side of my refrigerator without a problem and would be helpful to put inside of a car hood to see what's going on in case of a middle of the night breakdown.

The lights are powered by 3 AAA batteries. The battery compartment is very easy to access.

These lights are sold by the pair by Litelife and I rate them 5 out of 5 stars.

Note: I was offered a set of these lights for free in exchange for an honest review. Trust me, these lights are pretty nifty and would be welcome in almost any home.

At the time of this review, these lights cost $10.35 on Amazon.com. Check here for current pricing: Litelife LED Ultra Bright Camping Lantern.
