Ideally, take both. A head torch keeps your hands free for cooking, pitching and walking after dark, while a lantern lights up the whole tent or camp area. The Petzl Actik Core is a versatile head torch, and you can browse our full range of camping lanterns to light up camp.
For general use around camp, a few hundred lumens is plenty, such as the Petzl Tikka 350. If you are hiking, running or navigating at night, a brighter torch like the Petzl Swift RL helps you see further down the trail. Most head torches have several modes, so you can use a lower setting to save battery.
Red light helps preserve your night vision and is far less dazzling for others around camp. It is ideal for moving around the tent, reading a map or stargazing without disturbing anyone. The O Light Oclip offers white and red light, and the Petzl ARIA 1R RGB includes coloured lighting modes.

How Do You Light Up A Tent?
Lantern reflectors are the perfect solution for lighting up tents. Place your lantern on the centre of your tent and attach a reflector around the top of your candle lantern to illuminate your tent space, whether it be for an emergency or campsite party. It's also a good idea to have a camping light near your sleeping bags, too, should you need to get up at night.
How Many Lumens Are Needed For A Camping Light?
For camping lanterns, it's generally recommended to use a light with at least 100 lumens. However, for focusable lights like flashlights, you'll need something with at least 400 lumens to get the most out of your lighting. We stock the Trustfire Magnetic Flashlight, with a whopping 2500 lumens for high-performance lighting.
What Lights Do I Need For A Camping Trip?
Depending on the type of trip you're planning, standard lanterns, flashlights and string lights are the best options for a family camping trip to light the way and offer a cosy living space. Experienced campers and hikers may find more advanced lighting accessories worth the investment.
Rechargeable, Wind Up Or Battery Camping Lights?
The type of light depends on the needs of your camping trip. Rechargeable lights are great for extended trips where you can access power sources, wind up lights offer reliable light no matter the situation and battery powered options allow you to replace them quickly (but require a consistent supply).
