Luci solar lights are awesome
My Lumanoodle seems to chew through the power, apart from that it’s ok.
there was an inflatable led light awhile back, when blown up it pointed the LED at a top reflector. worked pretty well for the power draw and when deflated was about the size of a saucer
Same with mine. I use a 10,000 power bank and the noodle uses 15% on average of that a night. Only having it on for a couple hrs.Quote:

Used one this year and it was brighter by miles and more eco than my luminoodle.
Luminoodle is great for backpack hunts using a small powerbank.

Maybe not what your looking for but type tent light into Aliexpress. Lots of little lights for around $2 that run on a couple of aa's.
Biolite Baselantern and Sitelight mini
have found ones on aliexpress, run on a single 18650 or 3xAAs look the same as an old incandescent (size and shape, white plastic with orange hangingclip and an included small black carabiner) red led is a nice touch, they dont last a night though but white is good for a few hours of evening cooking.
have a knock off luminoodle, better coverage ideal for over a kitchen bench for 2 people working.
Have tried a few different lights but still love my kerro lamp.
Some thing about the smell of it , always goes (sometimes with excitement).
Just makes a camp feel like a camp.
Old bugger.
i just use a solar garden light
Have a look at the LA30 by Nitecore - built in USB that can be charged from power bank or laptop/AC charger.
Also has place for two AA batteries on top of the built in Lithium Ion if the 56 hours on low is inadequate.
Has a hook on the back for hanging plus red light.

Mini USB light for laptops, cost a couple of dollars each, great in huts on benches etc. Not as good in a tent.
Luminoodle also gets a lot of use.
Grab a couple of 6 or 8W LEDs like these off Ali:

Get two sockets for them off a lighting shop and add an in-line switch if you wanna be flash. They run off an SLA and will easily light a small hut.
Night vision goggles for me.

What is a SLA
I am guessing an external battery pack thingi
If so or if not what is a good source of power to charge items like phones/laptops - apart from your main mode of transport (vehicles battery)
The nitecore range of lanterns are awesome, they’re lightweight and provide plenty of useable light in a hut or tent. I have a couple, one that runs on a single 18650 battery and another that has an inbuilt rechargeable. The battery runtimes are very good as well.
I think it might be Sealed Lead Acid battery. like some of the 7 to 14Ahr batteries and the no-maintenance 12 volt car batteries

I had a luminoodle, not sure where is us now! But have a Goal Zero single LED lamp now. It lights up my whole tent and is much more efficient. It’s nice and small and can be daisy chained up to more units if required. The Luminoodles have quite a few LEDs, that’s probably why they use more power.
