Choosing a light with a battery
In this category, lighting comes with an energy reserve. A camping light with a built-in battery lights a tent or campsite, while a power bank with a lamp helps out in a power cut and can still recharge a phone. Battery capacity, given in mAh or Wh, tells you how much energy is available.
Choose according to your main use: lighting for a long time, recharging several devices or carrying as little weight as possible. The product pages state, for example, 265 g for the EcoFlow lamp and 154 Wh for the Xtorm Rugged, which gives an idea of where each one stands. These items are not site floodlights: they suit supplementary lighting, camping or a power cut. Read the product pages for the detail of each lamp, and use the warranty page if a product turns out to be faulty.
