FAQs
What are Lumens?
In general terms, Lumens are a measure of light output, therefore the higher the lumens, the brighter the light. Not all lumens are the same! Lumens and beam length are two different readings, so make sure you look at the information on the packaging.
How bright does my head torch need to be?
The most important thing is understanding your camping lighting application. In general, brighter lights are better, though this can be costly. If wandering around the campsite, a lower lumen and narrow beam headlamp will be sufficient for your activities, whilst if trail running at night, a brighter lumen and wide beam head torch is necessary. Many headlamps offer multiple brightness and beam settings, with red light options as well. We stock a range of headlamps for all activities including spelunking, rock climbing, night trail running, night hunting, camping, and animal spotting.
What lighting options do I have for campsite lighting?
For camp lighting, a camp lantern is great, especially coupled with a personal headlamp. Camp lanterns often distribute diffused light to reduce the harsh brightness on the eyes, and can be hung by a hook loop or placed on the ground. Some brands including Black Diamond create cases for head torches, that can diffuse the light and be used as a small tent light. Brands including Biolite have daisy-chained camp lighting options, meaning you can angle the lights to fit your needs. Most camping lights are waterproof, with great solar-powered options that can charge through the day while you’re out exploring.
What can I use for lighting in my tent?
Small tent lights are handy when you’re searching for those pesky items that have made their way to the bottom of your bag, or if your settling in for a quick read before bed. These small, packable, and lightweight tent lights often come with loops and hooks to attach to the top of your tent.
What battery options are there for camping lighting?
When on the road, batteries have to be reliable and durable. Many brands including Petzl, Black Diamond, Ledlenser, and Biolite have rechargeable batteries to keep you powered for longer. Recharging options include USB rechargeable headlamps, solar rechargeable camping lights, and rechargeable batteries. For peace of mind, it’s always good to take a spare set of batteries for your camping light just in case! Ledlenser also stocks head torches that take you the extra mile with inbuilt battery packs. Though heavier, these head torches can shine brighter for much longer, perfect when you’re out all night.
What lighting options are out there for when I'm camping?
Camp lighting isn’t all tent lighting and headlamps, it also includes sturdy and durable hand-held torches, solar camp lanterns, head torches with inbuilt long-lasting batteries, wearable lights, lightweight running head torches, bike lights, and emergency key ring lights. Paddy Pallin stocks a wide range of durable and waterproof camping lights, many of which are mountable and wearable!
