Lanterns

For lighting a tent or campsite, 150–300 lumens is usually enough for everyday tasks like cooking and reading. If you want a lantern that can also light up a larger area such as a campsite, garage, or backyard, look for 500+ lumens, like our Twin Power 520 Lumen LED Lantern.

Rechargeable lanterns save money over time and are ideal for regular use like camping trips, since you just plug them in between uses. Battery-powered lanterns are better for long-term emergency storage, since they can sit unused for months and still work when you need them. Some of our lanterns, like the 4D Power Bank Lantern, give you flexibility with both.

Yes, power bank lanterns, like our 4D Power Bank Lantern, include a USB output so you can charge a phone or small device while the light is running, making them a smart pick for storm prep and emergency kits.

A flashlight throws a focused beam for spotting something specific like a breaker box, a trail, or a noise outside. A lantern spreads 360-degree light to fill a room, tent, or workspace, which makes it better for hands-free tasks and lighting an entire space during a power outage.

Runtime depends on the brightness setting. Most of our lanterns run several hours on high and considerably longer on low or medium. Check each product page for exact runtime specs, since it varies by model and battery type.
