Lanterns

Lanterns reliably provide light, which is why they are a useful piece of equipment for camping trips, camping, and numerous other outdoor activities. In gardens, lanterns are used as decorative objects that set atmospheric accents.

At Meister Messer you will find both LED lights and lanterns designed for candles, suitable for outdoor use, but also suitable as table lighting for a barbecue evening or a garden party. Below you will find out what to look out for when buying a lantern.

Candle Lantern vs. LED Lantern: Which option is better?

In the end, both types of lanterns have their pros and cons. LED lanterns can sometimes have battery lives of around 50 hours. On the other hand, the burning time of a candle is at most 10 to 12 hours.

This difference is particularly noticeable on longer outdoor trips. If you use a lantern designed for candles, you usually have to carry around a bit more weight. After all, the candles weigh more than the few batteries you might need. Another advantage of the LED version is that some models can be folded up and also used as a flashlight.

However, what many outdoor fans appreciate: A real flame creates a natural light that contributes to a particularly cozy atmosphere.

Buy lanterns: What to look out for

If you are looking for a lantern for outdoor activities that should, for example, illuminate the area around your camp, the following questions are particularly important:

• How heavy and large is the lantern? Mobile lanterns usually do not weigh much. With 50 up to around 500 grams, the weight can still vary greatly. If you want your equipment to be as light as possible, it is recommended to choose a model that is as light as possible. However, even the lights with a slightly higher weight are usually compact enough to fit into any backpack.
• How long is the runtime or burning time? You can find this information in the product description. For battery- or battery-operated models, the runtime - depending on the design and set brightness - ranges between four and 50 hours. While tea lights have a lifespan of up to five hours, regular candles can burn for up to nine hours and beeswax candles for up to 12 hours.
• How bright does the lantern shine? This question only concerns LED lanterns. The rule of thumb is: The higher the lumen value, the higher the brightness. Models with 100 to 300 lumens are sufficient to illuminate the immediate surroundings. However, there are also versions available in stores that shine even brighter.
• What additional features does the lantern have? Numerous models come with a carrying handle or a hook for hanging the light source. Some lanterns are also weatherproof and even protected against strong jet water.
