Lighting for your campsite is obviously a necessity, but many people look over the importance of having appropriate lighting for their tent. Sure, you can get by with a headlamp or even a super powerful camp lantern, but why not outfit your tent with a light that’s appropriate for the level of light you want and need in the small confines of your tent? Here are just a few tent lamps from SunnySports that will give you the illumination you want without breaking your bank.
The light in your tent should function much in the way an automobile dome light does: just enough light to see without burning holes in anyone’s eyeballs. This simple tent light from Coleman does just that by offering a dome that will fit the shape of virtually any tent, with a powerful xenon bulb inside a simple housing that operates with one simple push button on/off switch. It adheres to the peak of your tent with the use of magnets, which also makes it convenient to secure anywhere on the tent, like the wall, door, or wherever you see fit. Four AAA batteries for operation not included.
Eureka! Glide 115 Lantern/Flashlight – $23.95
If you want your tent lighting to work double duty, look no further than the Eureka! Glide 115 flashlight/lantern combo. It functions as a hanging lantern for your tent, but also collapses into a flashlight for those midnight trips to the bathroom. The hanging C-hook is recessed into the lantern’s base, but it also has a lanyard and a carabiner clip for use on the trail. With a light output of 50 lumens, you’ll have plenty of light to see what you’re doing in your tent, as well as to light your path wherever you’re off to under the stars. Comes with 3 AAA Duracell batteries.
Brunton Link Rechargeable Lantern – $29.95
If high-efficiency lighting with coupling capabilities perks your ears up, the Brunton Link rechargeable lantern is exactly what you’re looking for. Designed to use a minimal amount of energy with high-efficiency LED lights, this light is also rechargeable by USB, whether by your computer at home or through one of Brunton’s USB-based solar power packs, making this an eco-friendly option as well. Plus, through the USB in/out ports, you can link as many units together as you need inside your tent, or throughout your entire campsite. The internal lithium battery will run continuously for 6 hours, and the housing makes it easy to hang from your tent’s ceiling, stand on end for bright directional light, or place face down for softer lighting.
