With five brightness settings, the flexibility to run on one, two, or three batteries and the ability to serve as a power pack for other devices, the CL30R Rechargeable Camping Lantern is a versatile piece of gear with many applications for outdoor recreation and emergency preparedness. It is water and cold-resistant, and features a compact form factor.
The CL30R offers output levels from 10 to 650 lumens, plus a 100-lumen flash setting. It is fully powered by three 18650 batteries, but can also run on two or even just one. (With fewer than three batteries, brightness levels are unaffected but runtimes are reduced.) The lantern can also share its battery power with other devices, acting as a power bank with a micro-USB charging port. An indicator shows how much battery power remains, and the lantern's circuitry is protected from both over-charging and over-discharging.
Rated IPX7 for water-resistance, the lantern is submersible to 3.3' for up to 30 minutes, so rain or a brief drop in water won't impair its function. The battery compartment is designed to counter the negative effects of cold weather on the batteries' runtime.
Measuring just 5.4 x 3.6", the CL30R doesn't take up much room with your camping gear or bug-out bag. It comes with a hanging hook and a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount.
