For many years I have been searching for the perfect tent light for my Snowtrekker. When I am stuck in the tent for a couple hours every night, light becomes an issue for me.

My first light was this, a classic: UCO Collapsible Candle Lantern I still bring it along because sometimes sitting in the glow of a candle out in the winter woods is charming. Also, switching to beeswax candles are key.

But I needed more light. The candle lantern was too dim. So I got this one: Streamlight 44931 Lantern This lantern is great. I can unscrew the diffused top, hang it upside down from the middle of the tent, and everything gets lit up. The construction is tough and the light is bright. Doesn't feel like I am sitting in a cave at all. But, it has 4 D-cell batteries in it, so it is pretty heavy. And the light it casts is cold white, so functional but not a cozy light.

So my search continued onto this one: Snow Peak Hozuki Lantern Lightweight, runs on 3 AAA batteries, durable feeling, and a wonderful, warm light. But, it was too small. Two or three of them could possibly light up the whole tent, but the light wasn't strong enough for the 6' distance where I hung the light.

But then in December I found this one: LumenBasic LED Warm Light String Warm light color, 5' length, runs off a Anker Power Bank, lightweight, waterproof, and not too expensive. Took it out this last weekend and it was great. Not a harsh light, and the battery usage was good. It even has a light switch on it. I just remember to put the battery pack in my sleeping bag when I go to bed, or else it gets tapped from the cold.

Thank you for joining me on my saga of finding the right light for winter camping.

Now onto getting the right floor!

I purchased knockoff of the Black Diamond Moji for $10.00 that works well for me. It appears to be similar to your Snow Peak.

We use 2 Luci lanterns in our Snowtrekker and it works really well. Typically on the low setting they will last a solid 2 nights (complete guess but 8ish hours) without being charged. Sort of a pain to get them to hang just the right way and to shut on/off - but remedied the issue of banging our heads on lanterns that hung down lower and the Lucis are lightweight.

I use Luci Lights for all the reasons stated above. Light weight, plenty of light, rechargeable, and not a head banger. They have a reasonable life even in cold weather. Have a second Luci ready for when the one you are using cuts out.

I bought these and have to say it was great getting into bed, and then using the remote to turn out the lights. The batteries last about 3 nights.
