Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern
Camping Gadgets - I bought a Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern to use while tent camping. The light output on fresh batteries seems rather decent. It's pretty bright and the brightness level is adjustable. The metal loop at the top works great with an S-clip on my bunk. There are several levels from lo to high for this lantern. This Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern really can light up an entire room. When you need to make the space in your saddle bags count, this one fits the bill perfectly. Portable and compact. Definitely lightens the load when you are packing. Very satisfy with the purchase, highly recommended if you need a battery powered lantern.


The Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern packs a great deal of powerful light into a compact package. CREE XLamp XR-C LEDs shine at an impressive 85 lumens while remaining cool to the touch, and the light runs up to six hours on three AA batteries (included). The beam is fully adjustable, while a frosted globe produces an ideal beam pattern. Durable and weather-resistant, the lantern will stand up to years of rigorous outdoor use.

Energizer 7 LED Headlight
Camping Gadgets - This is a great light that I use for night exercise. The Energizer 7 LED Headlight is very bright, has different settings (red, spot, flood, spot & flood). The red light as the first setting is perfect! It let's you have illumination without toasting your retinas in real darkness. At camp I hang it from a tree branch to act as a lantern. I like to keep a ball cap under it to prevent glare from my glasses. I use it for night hiking, rock climbing, caving, and even nighttime swimming (no, it is not waterproof, but I do a lot of lake swimming, and since I go after work, it sometimes gets dark on me before I get done swimming across and back, so I just turn this headlamp on the red light setting and place it at my starting point so I can find my way back; works like a charm! Some people think headlights are silly but being hands free is far smarter than holding a regular flashlight that usually has bad illumination to boot. Energizer 7 LED Headlight is exactly what I wanted and functions exactly as it should. Highly recommend this lamp.
