Solar Camping Light, ConBlom 120 LEDs Hanging Camping Lantern with Remote Control, IP65 Waterproof Rechargeable Tent Light, 5 Modes 1200mA Portable USB Charger for Outdoor Camping Hiking Emergency [Energy Class A++]

This is a rather impressive and well made portable camping light. It’s certainly a lot better than I was expecting it to be and has been put together really rather well. Here’s a quick summary of my findings.

The portable camping light has been constructed using predominantly high quality and tough ABS plastics. It feels durable and solid, and to be fair, I actually dropped this unit after around just a week of use onto a tiled floor from a height of around 6ft. I am pleased to say the light just bounced and kept on working without a single scratch, dent or ding showing. I was genuinely expecting the fitting to at least crack or for something to be rattling around inside at least, but nope, it still looked and worked like a brand new light. That was pretty impressive for an unplanned and impromptu test (don’t deliberately try it yourself at home though).

The light has two power options for you. The first and most likely one that will be used is it’s rechargeable internal battery system. It comes with an inbuilt 1200mAh lithium battery that is charged by micro-USB. I would have preferred a more up to date USB-C charging option but it’s not a deal breaker. You do receive a micro USB cable in the box to get you going. Now, an added feature of this light is that the internal battery also doubles as a power bank meaning you can top up the charge on your phone with this lamp whilst simultaneously using it as a light. That’s pretty neat. Probably not a feature I will utilise much but it’s helpful to have for an emergency backup should the need ever arise.

This tent light has 5 different lighting modes to choose from. Three of the modes cycle through different output intensities: strong light, medium light and lower power lighting. The remaining 2 are flash options of which one is the ever obligatory SOS mode. I personally don’t like these options included on just about everything nowadays and I do find myself wishing more and more that manufacturers included these as a separate switch option to avoid you having to cycle to rough them. Fortunately in this case the manufacturers have circumvented this by providing you with a remote control. The remote has a range of approximately 5 metres and has a good suite of buttons for you to be able to control all aspects of your light. It’s basic but does the job well.

The light features some small solar panels which sit neatly on the backside of the light (the side that would naturally expose to the sun if you are to hang it). Having this additional charging option is highly convenient should USB power not be available. This gives the light a lot more versatility and means it would be one of the first lights I pack on camping holidays going forward. There are 4 indicator lights adjacent to the solar panel which show you the power remaining power levels left in the unit. They indicate 25% 50% 75% 100% power remaining. It’s a simple and useful quick visual guide. The manufacturers claim their light will run for anywhere between 6 and 48 hours of use (depending on which brightness setting being used). So far this seems to be about right based on around a good solid month of use for me.

The light is IP65 waterproof so you could leave it outside should you wish to and rubber grommets keep the USB and other connecting points nice and watertight. A small hanging hook sits neatly on top to allow you to site the lantern pretty much anywhere you need light. It’s a great light and highly portable being ideal for camping trips, fishing trips, use in the garden or patio or even as an emergency light in the home. There really isn’t anything to dislike about this light and I really can’t find fault with it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone and genuinely feel that it’s a good quality product presented at a very reasonable price. Perfect!
