Top 6 Reasons why Battery LED Lanterns are a better option for camping trips

Camping trips can be a incredible adventure given that you have the right gear and the add-ons. 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 look at some of the essential functions that you want to contemplate before getting a camping lantern.
There are different types of camping lamps viz.

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

Of the above the Battery Rechargeable lamps grade better than the others in terms of characteristics and utilization. Lets dive into the top 6 characteristics that you would want to consider before buying a camping lamp.

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

Illumination is an important characteristic , If a lantern is not sufficiently bright to put together a tent or to clearly see when cooking then its not worthy buying it. For example some of the floroscent bulb lanterns lack enough light. Battery charged LED lanterns on the other hand produce 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 outage in the neighborhood.

It is crucial to read the specification document of the lantern to keep in mind of the Battery run time, so that you can arrange ahead to keep spares depending on the length of the camping stay.

Fuel Lanterns are oftentimes susceptible to get 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 designed for these conditions although in cold conditions the batteries tend to discharge faster hence make sure you have enough spares.
The final charecteristic is the over-all design of the lantern, LED lanterns are typically 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.
