NEBO Galileo Tempest Lantern 350 Lumen 8 Settings NEB-LTN-1011
  • The NEBO Galileo Tempest 350 Lantern is a compact, versatile lighting solution perfect for outdoor adventures like backpacking or camping. While most lanterns offer a single beam pattern, the Galileo Tempest stands out with its unique ability to switch between 120-degree, 360-degree, and spot beam patterns. This versatility ensures you're prepared for any situation, from illuminating a large campsite with the 360-degree mode to lighting the path directly in front of you with the 120-degree mode. The spot beam acts like a flashlight, casting light at a distance, making it ideal for situations where you need to see further down a trail.,
  • Designed with convenience in mind, the Galileo Tempest is equipped with multiple options for hands-free use. You can attach, hang, carry, or mount it using the multi-use lanyard, dual hanging hooks, or magnetic base. This makes it easy to position the lantern wherever you need it, whether you're setting up camp or exploring a dark trail. The lantern features eight light modes, including variable dimming, and a Direct-to-Red mode that preserves your night vision and conserves battery life.,

Lanterns Buying Guide : Things To Know!

What Types of Lanterns Should I Consider?

Not all lanterns are created equal. The best type for you depends on where and how you plan to use it. Here’s a quick overview:

  • Battery-Powered Lanterns: These run on standard batteries like AA or D-cell. They’re convenient, easy to use, and widely available. Great for indoor use, short trips, or as a backup in power outages.
  • Rechargeable Lanterns: These models come with built-in batteries you can charge using a USB cable. Some even include solar panels or hand-crank options. They're perfect for campers or anyone looking to avoid replacing batteries.
  • Gas-Powered Lanterns (Propane or Butane):These lanterns produce powerful, bright light and are ideal for outdoor use. However, they require ventilation, so they’re not safe to use indoors.
  • Candle Lanterns: Simple and old-fashioned, candle lanterns are lightweight and great for minimalist campers. They provide soft, ambient light but aren't very bright.

How Bright Should A Lantern Be?

Lantern brightness is measured in lumens, and the right amount depends on your specific use.

  • 100–250 lumens: Good for personal spaces like inside a tent or for reading at night.
  • 300–600 lumens: Great for lighting up a campsite or a small room.
  • 1000+ lumens: Ideal for large outdoor areas or emergency situations when you need maximum visibility.

Should I Get A Rechargeable or Battery-Powered Lantern?

It depends on your situation. Rechargeable lanterns save money in the long run and are great if you have regular access to a power source. Many models also double as power banks for charging phones.

However, battery-powered lanterns are more reliable in emergency scenarios, especially when there’s no way to recharge. Having a lantern that can run on both battery types offers the best of both worlds.

Are Lanterns Waterproof?

Not all lanterns are waterproof, but many are built to handle the elements. Look for a lantern’s IPX rating to know how water-resistant it is:

  • IPX4: Can handle rain or splashes—good for camping and outdoor use.
  • IPX7 or higher: Waterproof and can survive being submerged in water.

What’s The Difference Between A Lantern And A Flashlight?

The key difference is how the light is spread. A flashlight provides a focused, directional beam—ideal for navigating in the dark. A lantern, on the other hand, offers 360-degree lighting, making it better for lighting up entire rooms, tents, or campsites.

Many people use both: a flashlight for movement and a lantern for stationary light.

What Extra Features Should I Look For In A Lantern?

Modern lanterns come with all kinds of useful features. Depending on your needs, consider looking for:

  • USB charging port: Lets you charge your phone or other devices.
  • Red light mode: Helps preserve night vision and won’t attract as many bugs.
  • Collapsible or foldable design: Great for saving space when packing.
  • Magnetic base or hanging hook: Adds flexibility in how you use it.
  • Strobe or SOS mode: Useful in emergencies or for signaling.
