Yes, solar lanterns charge during the day so you are not reliant on batteries or a power bank. The Luci range from MPowerd is inflatable, so the lights pack flat, and many models such as the Luci Outdoor 2.0 also have a USB-C port for charging. The Luci Connect can even top up your phone.
Flame and gas lanterns should only be used outdoors in a well-ventilated area, never inside a closed tent, because of the risk of fire and carbon monoxide. For lighting inside your tent, choose an LED light such as the O Light Oclip or the Luci Candle Inflatable Solar Light.

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).
