Why are Battery LED Lamps a better alternative for camping trips.

Camping excursions can be a amazing experience given that you have the right equipment and the accessories. One key tool is the camping lantern. It is the lantern where kids gather around to hear stories from the elders and where the family enjoys cooking and eating. In this article we will take a glance at some of the vital capabilities that you want to bear in mind before shopping for a camping lamp.
There are different types of camping lamps viz.

1. Fuel Lanterns
2. Battery Rechargeable Lanterns
3. Candle Lamps

Of the above the Battery Rechargeable lanterns rate better than the others in terms of functions and utilization. Lets have a look at the top six functions that you would want to consider before buying a camping lantern.

1. Illumination
2. Multi purpose - can be used indoors and outdoors
3. Safety capabilities is it Kid friendly
4. Battery runtime
5. Sturdiness and Ruggedness
6. Design and Product warranty

Illumination is an important aspect, If a lantern is not fairly bright to set up a tent or to clearly see when cooking then its not worth buying it. For example some of the fluorescent bulb lanterns don't have enough light. Battery charged LED lanterns on the other hand generate a good amount of lighting.

LED Lanterns are multi function, they can be used outdoors as well as inside the tent and that brings us to the 3rd point which is that they are kid friendly too. The battery lanterns can also be used indoors as emergency lights when there’s a power failure in the block.

It is necessary to read the specification report of the lantern to be aware of the Battery run time, so that you can prepare ahead to keep backups depending on the length of the camping stay.

Fuel Lanterns oftentimes run the risk of getting impaired in cold conditions, for e.g. when the bulb of the lantern is exposed to rain the glass might break. LED Lanterns on the other hand are better suitable for these conditions although in cold conditions the batteries tend to discharge faster hence make sure you have enough spares.

The final aspect is the overall design of the lantern, LED lanterns are usually a switch based on and off system and are easier to use. Make sure the product is backed by a good warranty period more than a couple of years.
