How many lumens do i need for a camping lantern?
The number of lumens you need for a camping lantern will depend on the intended use of the lantern. A general rule of thumb is to have at least 50-100 lumens for basic camping needs, such as navigating around the campsite or cooking. If you need more light for activities such as reading or playing games, you may want to look for a lantern with 200-300 lumens or more. It's also important to consider the size and weight of the lantern, as well as the battery life and type of light source used.
