BioLite/Lantern

BioLite AlpenGlow 500

A camp lantern that doubles as a 6400 mAh power bank, with a USB-A port rated for 2.4 amps. Nine light modes cover cool and warm white, single and multicolour, a one-sided mode for a tent wall and a candle flicker, switched by a button or by shaking the lantern. Five hours on the 500-lumen high, up to 200 on low. It charges over micro-USB rather than USB-C, taking three hours, and at 380 grams it is a car-camping piece rather than a backpacking one.
