Alpkit Glowe and Trinity Bright LED Camping Lights
It is always hard to find that perfect camping lantern that
not only gives off enough light to read, cook, relax etc. but is also
portable, does not require a large charging unit and is easy to pack and
store. Well these small yet powerful lanterns from
Alpkit.com might just be the solution you are looking for.
Glowe LED Camping Lantern
Compact and lightweight, the Glowe lantern fits perfectly into any
backpackers sack. The retractable light chimney rests comfortably in the
hand when using the Glowe as a torch. Then, when erected, the light chimney
transforms the super bright beam into a secure unfocussed glow of a lantern.
Spreader feet provide stability when the Glowe is stood on a surface whilst
the foldaway hook allows the Glowe to be clipped into a tent or on to a
convenient branch. Powered by 3xAAA batteries the Glowe can provide the
comfort and security of light for over 50 hours.
Features
Compact, lightweight dual purpose lantern/torch
Retractable feet and foldaway hanging point
3xAAA Batteries (included)
Compatible with NIH Rechargeable batteries (Do not use rechargeable
Lithium batteries)
The Trinity is a beautifully designed super bright and versatile camping
lantern. Its size belies its power as the 190 Lumen maximum output can throw
light out across your campsite! Driven by 4 AA batteries, included, the
lantern will last for well over 100hrs when used on low power. The
retractable light chimney allows the Trinity to be used as a hand held torch
as well as a lantern. Retractable feet increase stability on flat surfaces
and the integral hook allow it be hung from tent ceilings and tree branches.
Nestled inside the base is a tripod mounting point allowing the lantern to
be screwed onto a tripod as well.
Features
Super bright dual purpose lantern/torch
Retractable feet, tripod screw and foldaway hanging loop
On/Off button covered whilst in transit to prevent accidental
operation
4xAA Batteries (included)
Compatible with NIH Rechargeable batteries (Do not use rechargeable
Lithium batteries)
We were sent a couple of these lanterns to test and after getting away for a
night in the tent, have decided that these are now an essential part of our
camping kit.
The lanterns are small, tough, easy to use and bright. You
can use both as a torch, and by simply pulling the top from the bottom they
expand into a lantern design and emit a bright and wide light filling the
tent. The amount of light given off was certainly enough to read from and
perfect for using electronic tablets and the like.
Both designs of lanterns have hanging hooks which fold flat on the top
enabling one to hang them from the roof of the tent, plus they both have
expandable feet allowing you the chance to place them on a table to shine
the light upwards.
As these run off four AA batteries there is not need to carry around a
charging unit, or have a need for battery power or electric hookup, just
carry a spare set of batteries and you will not get stuck in the dark.
Overall we were most impressed and would not go away without these in the
bag.
