When you go camping, you will need a camping lantern, a camping stove and a camping site, as well as a flash.
All tourists will need some kind of lantern gas, battery or candle. Everyone has their pros and cons. To find out what will work for you, here are some tips.
Gas lanterns give off a bright light, but are noisy and will be the most expensive of all lanterns for work. You will have to pack additional propane-bottles. Older lanterns for liquid gas emit the same amount of light, but you will have to replenish the tank with liquid gas, and this can be messy, and also dangerous if you are not careful. Both types of lanterns use fireplaces, so be sure to have extra items.
Rechargeable flashlights give a lot of light, but you will need to have spare batteries, or if it's a rechargeable style, you'll need some way to recharge it. Rechargeable flashlights are not extended until the battery light and lighting are usually a bit dim. Rechargeable flashlights can be charged with a car, connecting the cigarette lighter to cigarettes on some models.
Candles will be the most cost-effective, but you must be very careful not to start a fire with them. They also do not pass through a very strong light, and they can go to the wind.
The best lantern for use inside the tent is the battery style. But they do not work well in cold climates, as batteries tend to drain faster because of the cold.
Make sure that the lantern that you buy is protected by the weather. If you relax in colder weather, the gas type of lanterns will be your best choice, because they not only give a bright light, but also produce enough heat. Never use gas lanterns in a tent. If the flashlight is knocked down or comes close to flammable materials, it can start a fire.
If you use a gas lamp in the rain, you should be careful, because a glass globe can break if it gets a lot of water. One mantle in the lantern gives about 300 watts of light. Keep in mind that the glass globe of all gas and propane lanterns becomes very hot and can give you a serious burn.
If you are going to use candles, you need to be very careful that you do not start a fire. Remember that hot candle wax can burn you if you get it on the skin. Never leave a candle that burns in a tent unattended and never falls asleep with a burning candle or a burning lantern in your tent.
Many trips were destroyed by a hot lamp or a burning candle. Now it's important what kind of flashlight you use, always play safe. Do not store the flashlight with hot gas next to any flammable materials or leave open flame open unattended.
Make sure that the flashlight you are getting is waterproof, corrosion resistant and has a scratch-resistant lens. Look for one that has an adjustable beam, and it can stand free, which frees up hands to do other things.
You have a flashlight for every tourist in your group. Plastic type is great for children, and they cost only a dollar or so. Never allow children to wander at night, as if they were not taught not to shine with a flashlight beam in other places of camping that could upset other tourists.
Make sure that the flashlights are shockproof. Many flashlights were broken, because the children in response fell to the ground. If you go at night, never shine with light on any moving vehicles. Your light can blind the driver and which can lead to an accident.
