L.L.Bean Waterproof Solar Flashlight

Solar lantern is good. Solar flashlight not so much! Full review

rated 5 of 5 stars
Primus EasyLight

Does what it's supposed to, doesn't require a rocket science degree to use, and doesn't create excessive fire hazard when used safely. My only regret is that there are only five stars to click. Personally, I would give this product 60 stars. I knew it would be a great product, but it outshone my expectations. It easily lights up a medium-sized living room, no squinting of the eyes. My favorite aspect is that it's not the kind of product that you're worried about coming "unscrewed" if you accidentally… Full review

Ledlenser MH10

For all who need a simple bright headlight with great battery life for everyday use even in rough conditions. Just three main light modes, one button (push on brightness1 -push brightness-push boost-push off) I am using the Mh10 for over 2 years now and am very satisfied with it. I live in Finland above the Arctic Circle, so it gets quite dark and cold in winter. The battery life is great and is very bright. I like the simplicity of the lighting modes. Just one button and three main light modes. Full review

Goal Zero Lighthouse Micro Charge Lantern

The ultimate EDC flashlight/lantern? It’s great for backpacking/camping, that’s for sure. The Lighthouse Micro Charge is a minimalist, portable yet powerful dual-use light with an USB outlet to double as an emergency power bank (hence the Charge in its name). Small, hand-sized flashlight/lantern/charger perfect for an EDC. The USB port is used to charge external devices. Capacity is limited though.  The Lighthouse Mini Charge is a versatile piece of gear that gets a lot of use on every kind… Full review

BioLite HeadLamp 750

A decent premium headlight I had lost my comparable BD headlamp (a smaller version of BD's Icon 700?)    I enjoy not needing batteries. The battery pack is pretty chunky. I had to improvise an overhead strap for running—successful? tbd Cheers - gs Full review

Fenix HM60R

The Fenix HM60Ris a 1200-Max Lumen, rechargeable headlamp with an exceptionally long battery life. The light outperforms every headlamp I have owned over the past 21 years of caving. Weighing in at 157grams with the battery, the lamp is light enough to throw into the backpack. “Intelligent Frequency-Sensing” adjust the lumens of the light to the speed of the user, so that a trail runner does not have to fidget with the settings as they speed up or slow down. Coming in at under $80, the light… Full review

BioLite AlpenGlow 500

BioLite's AlpenGlow 500 is a reliable and rechargeable 500-lumen lantern that offers a wide range of color options from bright party colors to a subtle candle-like feeling. The simple one-button design takes a little time to figure out how to access each mode, but once figured out, is easy to operate. A smaller 250 lumen option is also available from the manufacturer. Conditions: What started out as a car-camping lantern quickly turned into a back porch lantern and eventually my daughter’s favorite… Full review

AceVolt Campower 2000

The AceVolt Campower 2000 is a powerful generator that can be used to charge your electronics while you’re off the grid. Cost: $1,699 Weight: 48.5 pounds Volts: 100-120 Campower 2000 Staying self-sufficient while you’re camping or on the road can be really challenging. You might be able to charge your phone while you’re driving, or mooch off of a nearby cafe for a quick electricity fix. But a small generator is a complete game changer for travelers like me. I’ve been on the road for 5 months. Full review

ACR Firefly PRO Solas

Lightweight and practical! A serious consideration for safety! I purchased this a few months ago from ACR where I had previously purchased their PLB. This is a very bright strobe light that can be activated for rescue in dark woods, at night or during the day. It weighs a little over four ounces with alkaline batteries and even less with the longer lasting and lighter lithium batteries. Up to 56 hours of strobe and about 20 steady light on. Visible up to three miles! Has settings of strobe, steady-on,… Full review
