Star 85 Lantern

The Vango Star 85 lantern sits in that sweet spot between cheap disposable lights and expensive rechargeable units. You get 85 lumens on high and 40 lumens on low, which doesn't sound massive but it's genuinely enough for most camping situations. The warm tone makes a proper difference when you're sat around in the evening. None of that harsh white light that makes everyone look washed out and attracts every moth in a five-mile radius. Runtime goes from 12 hours on full brightness to 32 hours when dimmed, though that depends entirely on which batteries you stick in. Standard AA batteries mean you can grab spares from any petrol station if you forget to pack enough. What makes this lantern actually useful is how quickly it switches between hanging and sitting flat. There's a hook built into the top for stringing it up inside your tent or from an awning pole, then it sits stable on any flat surface when you need table lighting. At 135 grams and 14cm tall, it doesn't take up valuable packing space. Works well for festival camping where you're moving between different spots throughout the day, or family trips when you need lighting in multiple areas. Just keep it under cover if rain starts, as it's not waterproof. At this price point you won't panic if it takes a knock, and having two brightness settings means you're not burning through batteries when you just need background light for midnight loo trips.
