What is the perfect source of camping lighting? The types of camping lamps on the market today is so extensive that it can be confusing. Some lanterns use battery power, some camping fuel, some solar power or even some lamps can store power through a wind-up mechanism. Of the fueled camping lighting, they can run on lamp and paraffin oils, kerosene, propane gas, LPG, unleaded gasoline, butane, or even duel-fuel lamps. Even more thought needs to be put into the physical construction of the lantern - is it sturdy, shock proof, weatherproof, shatter resistant, how heavy is it and what is the lamp's actual physical size. If we take it one step further still, how much power or fuel will one lantern drain in comparison to another, what globes are required (LED or fluorescent - and what are the advantages/disadvantages of each), how bright do they glow, is the brightness adjustable, and are the camping lamps easy to service and use. Are they noisy to run, safe to use, emit any fumes........... Phew!.......... As you can see this list could go on and on!......There is no answer to the question of perfect camping lighting. The lighting you will need entirely depends on your individual camping requirements.
To find what camping lighting sources you need, you will need to examine what type of camping you will be doing. For example:
* will you be camping with your family where there will be kids running around (you might need long lasting and safe, or low heat, lighting)
* are you planning a hiking adventure (light-weight, long lasting, rugged and weatherproof lighting might be required)
* is it a fishing camping trip (you would probably need flashlights and a small floodlight)
* will you be adventuring in low light environments (head lamps would be useful)
* do you need to light larger communal areas of a campsite (floodlighting will be required)
As with all elements of camping you need to plan for your camping lighting requirements before you set out, and you should base your lighting choices on the type of camping you will be participating in. Remember, when you're in a dark, desolate camping area you'll be thankful in being over-prepared as opposed to under-prepared with your lighting choices.
