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.
How to charge rechargeable camping lantern?
There are several ways to charge a rechargeable camping lantern, depending on the type of lantern and the charging options it provides. Some common methods include:
USB charging: Many camping lanterns can be charged via a USB cable, which can be plugged into a computer, power bank, or other USB charging device.
Solar charging: Some lanterns have built-in solar panels, which can be charged during the day and used at night.
Hand crank charging: Some lanterns have a hand-crank or a built-in dynamo which can generate power to charge the batteries.
AC adapter: Some lanterns come with an AC adapter, which can be plugged into an electrical outlet to charge the lantern.
Car charging: Some lanterns have a 12V DC charging cord which allows you to charge the lantern in your car.
It is important to read the instruction manual for your specific lantern to know what is the best way to charge it. Also, be mindful of the charging time, some lanterns take longer to charge than others.
Where do I start when pitching a Zempire Tent? Following the instructions (included in your tent bag or you can find on the products’ webpage), practice pitching your tent at home to ensure you understand the process and that you have everything you need.
When picking a spot for your tent, try to find an area that is sheltered, flat and free from sharp objects. If possible, position your tent with the front door facing away from the prevailing wind. Try not to pitch your tent under trees as falling branches and tree sap can damage the tent and you’ll want to avoid cleaning bird poo off it!
Be sure to clear the site of any stones, sticks and any other objects that cause damage to the tent floor. It is also a good idea to consider using a Zempire groundsheet for your tent to provide further protection to the floor and make pack up easier.
How do I clean my Zempire Tent? The tent can be cleaned using a damp cloth, sponge or soft bristled brush and water to remove any small spots of dirt etc.
For a heavier clean, pitch the tent at home and use warm water and a damp cloth, sponge or soft bristled brush to gently clean the tent.
Never use detergents, bleaches, dishwashing liquids etc as these can damage or remove the coatings of the fabric. There are speciality tent and gear cleaners available if required, these are usually available at specialist camping outlets.
Be sure that the tent is completely dry before storage. While camping, try to keep the tent as clean as possible. If possible, try to minimise the amount of dirt, dust and sand etc from being tracked inside the tent.
How do I avoid UV damage to my Zempire Tent? Tent fabrics can be weakened by long term exposure to sunlight.
Under normal holiday use, your Zempire tent will give you many years of camping enjoyment, however extended use in strong sunlight will cause degradation. It is recommended that during periods of strong sunlight a Zempire roof cover is used to help provide extra protection from UV damage.
Do not leave the tent pitched for extended periods of time as UV damage will degrade the fabric.
Fabrics can be recoated with various products to reinvigorate their UV resistance and improve waterproofing. It is always a good idea to test any coatings that you are thinking of applying to your tent to a small test area to make sure they are compatible with the fabric.
