With so many camp lighting options on the market today, you can light up your campsite or the trail in an endless variety of ways, most of which are very energy efficient. There’s nothing more energy efficient than solar powered gear, and you can power virtually anything that requires a power source with the infinite energy of the sun. Here are some great solar camping lights from Goal Zero that are compact, lightweight, and can go anywhere, which is exactly what you should expect from your outdoor gear.
Goal Zero Luna 1 Watt LED Flexible Light – $9.95
For the ultimate in compact, versatile solar camping lights we have the GoalZero Luna 1 Watt LED Flexible Light. Designed to illuminate small spaces like a tent or the interior of an outhouse, this stick light is packed with a row of 10 powerful little LED lights. If you want to use it indoors, it works great for reading or using your laptop at night — just plug it into the USP port to charge it up. If you don’t want to charge it via USB, it also charges with any of the Goal Zero power packs. You’ll get 20,000 hours of reliable lighting out of the Luna, and it even has a 9-inch bendy cord that wraps around anything, giving you hands-free lighting wherever you need it! Covered by a limited 12-month warranty.
Goal Zero Estrella 3 Watt LED Light – $54.95 FREE SHIPPING!
If you need a little more light than the Luna can provide, check out the Estrella 3 Watt LED Light from Goal Zero. Offering bright light in a small package, the output of this solar camping light is equivalent to a 45 watt incandescent bulb, which makes it a perfect lamp for inside your tent, or as lights for your campsite, since this modular light can be daisy chained with up to 11 other Estrellas! Operation of the light is simple with the rocker switch, and mounting it is made even easier with the 15-inch bendy cord and 9-inch extender cord with carabiner. Charge it with your Goal Zero power pack, or plug it into any 12 volt cigarette adapter. This would be a great lamp to keep in your car for emergencies. Covered by a limited 12-month warranty.
Goal Zero Lighthouse Crank Lantern – $54.99 FREE SHIPPING!
And for the traditionalists, we have the GoalZero Lighthouse Crank Lantern, a solar camping light with a modern twist on an old classic. It looks just like a regular camp lantern, but packs a punch with its bright LED light output and a variety of ways to charge it. Like all Goal Zero accessories, it can be charged easily from any Goal Zero power pack, but this lantern also comes with an AC wall adapter and a 12 volt car adapter, so you can charge it from home or on the road, whichever is more convenient. Best of all, you can actually charge this with the crank function that will give you 10 minutes of light for every 1 minute you turn the crank, offering backcountry explorers a light source with no more power than a little elbow grease. It even has a USB output port if you need a little extra juice for your electronics!
