Here are four top-notch camping lanterns that will get you through the summer.
Suaoki Collapsible Clover Style 18 Led Camping Tent Lantern
It’s a bird, it’s a plane; it’s $18.99.
Seriously, what the hell is this thing? It's supposed to look like a clover? It doesn't really look like a clover. However, we'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It's solar rechargeable as its "clover leaves" are solar panels. Its easy to carry, not too bright, becomes a flashlight and phone charger with its USB port. Pretty cool, huh?
Coleman Quad LED Lantern
Get 4 lamps for 1, for $57.36.
There’s a really creepy video of some member of the Coleman company talking about the Coleman Quad. We’re not exactly sure why it’s so creepy, but if we had to take a guess, it’s either the part where he explains how the lantern comes with an “on/off switch,” or the part at the end where he’s like, “See you outside!”
However, the guy in the video does make a good point: The Coleman Quad is really four lanterns in one, hence all this talk of a quad. Four individual, detachable light panels can be removed from the Quad LED lantern and can exist for up to an hour and a half before having to be returned for recharging at their homebase, the lantern’s skeleton. The lantern’s total runtime is 75 hours. This means that during a power outage, Suzie, Bobby, Dylan and little Josephine can all continue doing God knows what in the woods. #QuadGoals.
