Orange Camping Lights

• A hurricane lantern runs on kerosene or lamp oil and has a protective glass cover that makes it resistant to wind. This makes it great for garden dining or a cozy night in a holiday chalet. It’s less suitable for camping, boating and other activities where there’s a risk of the lamp tipping over and starting a fire.

• A gas lantern runs on gas and is a good alternative if you want heating as well as lighting. As the gas flame doesn’t give off a lot of light, you’ll need to install an incandescent mantle in the lantern. Gas lanterns are relatively quiet, don’t produce soot and their brightness is easy to adjust. They should only be used in well-ventilated areas and never in tents, except in exceptional cases.

• An LED-powered lantern is a good option when you need to think about safety, particularly in enclosed spaces or around children. It has a long burning time of around 40,000 hours and you won't need to buy lamp oil, just charge the battery. Plus, the brightness is adjustable, making it suitable for any activity.

If you're camping and need more general light in your tent, torches and head lamps are useful but sometimes not enough. LED lamps with a hook are simple to hang up and give ample light to help you get ready for bed or find anything you might have misplaced.
