    Hi
    I use one of these solar powered lanterns that weigh 125 grams and provide more than enough light for the evening chores in camp. Only $40

    This is a 10/10 product. 82ish grams, a pillow too. Last ages and solar top up. Great value. https://survive-it.co.nz/product/luminaid-packlight-16/

    Or take one of these, and a USB power bank

    I’ve used a ledlenser ML6

    Uses an 18650 battery. Robust

    A tad heavy if backpacking I guess

    Thanks @scottrods. Just ordered one of the second link. Chose the 1m version and 3.6W should be heaps for camp lighting. I assume the dry bag is semi transparent. Will do a review once it arrives

    I have been using one of these for a few years now. It runs on an 18650 battery (and goes forever) and will easily light up a hut.
    It has proved to be indestructible. Can't remember the number of times I have dropped it and it just keeps going.

    PS
    Use Alixpress over WISH too
    I bought a lot of good bargains - but a lot of I think rejects - but they ALWAYS refunded if complained

    Good bastards like you were greatly appreciated when I did a lot more hut trips. Next time I'm going to take a candle to leave behind too.

    The bag that comes with the luminoodle version is translucent, chuck the light in it and hang in a tent for a softer light.
