Best Camping FlashlightA camping flashlight is an extremely useful thing to have with you when you're out in the outdoors. When the sun goes down it can be difficult to find that certain something in the bottom of your bag, or make your way back to your tent without putting a few dents in your shins. For those situations, and many more, you want the best camping flashlight that you can get your hands on to light your way.

Best Camping Flashlight

What to look for when you are looking for the best camping flashlight.
  • Battery Life - There's nothing worse than a flashlight low on batteries. You can carry extra batteries with you, but a batter strategy is to get a camping flashlight that is easy on the batteries, and that will go a long time before the battery needs to be replaced.
  • Lumens - Related to battery life is the lumens, or brightness, that your camping flashlight puts out. You are probably not going to need to illuminate the entire forest, so you don't need an especially powerful camping flashlight, but you will want something that at least illuminates your immediate area well. Related to this, the best camping flashlights will have multiple power settings, so that you can have power when you need it, and save batteries when you don't.

Best Camping Flashlight Reviews

There are plenty of camping flashlights out there, but these are some of the best.
  • Petzl Tactikka Plus Headlamp - A flashlight is good, but a headlamp is better. If you're looking for that certain something at the bottom of the bag, for instance, it helps if you have both hands free, in which case a headlamp is ideal. The Tactikka is a small, lightweight headlamp with three different power settings, and 150 hours of battery life on the lowest setting. It weighs just 2.5 ounces, or 70 grams, and also has a red lens covering that will preserve your night vision. A great all around headlamp.
  • Photon Micro Light II LED Light - If you just want something that will illuminate your immediate area and not add a lot of weight or bulk to your backpack, the Micro is a great choice. It weighs just .17 ounces, or 5 grams, but manages 120 hours of battery life. It's small, cheap and works great as a very basic camping flashlight.
  • Princeton Tec Amp 3.5 Flashlight - If you need a real flashlight that you can hold in your hand, then the Amp is a great choice. It's bright, at 100 lumens on the high setting, and will last a total of 112 hours on the low setting. It's also quite light, at 4.3 ounces or 112 grams, so you wont have to worry about too much weight and bulk in your backpack.
