Fenix Lanterns
360-degree ambient light for camping, power outages, and any situation where you need to illuminate a whole area rather than a focused beam. Fenix lanterns are rechargeable and built with durable, weather-resistant housings.
Why carry a lantern
Unlike flashlights, lanterns spread light evenly in all directions — ideal for a tent interior, a picnic table, a work area, or a room during an emergency blackout. Key criteria when choosing are output level, runtime, weight, and whether the lantern can double as a power bank to charge your phone or other USB devices.
Camping and emergency use
Some models offer colour temperature adjustment for warmer or cooler light, and many include a low-output mode with extended runtime for overnight use. If you are building an emergency GO BAG, a reliable rechargeable lantern is one of the most practical lighting tools you can include.

Frequently asked questions
- Why carry a lantern instead of a flashlight?
- A lantern spreads light evenly in all directions, while a flashlight focuses a beam in one. That makes a lantern the right tool for lighting a whole space — a tent interior, a picnic table, a work area, or a room during a blackout — where a flashlight would only light whatever it is pointed at. Many people carry both: a flashlight for tasks and travel, a lantern for area light at camp or home.
- What is the best lantern for a power outage or emergency kit?
- For emergency use, prioritize long runtime on a low setting, a model that doubles as a USB power bank to charge a phone, and rechargeability so you are not dependent on buying disposable batteries. A reliable rechargeable lantern is one of the most practical items in an emergency GO BAG — it lights a room for hours and keeps a phone alive when the grid is down.
- Can a Fenix lantern charge my phone?
- Many Fenix lanterns include a USB output and double as a power bank, so you can top up a phone or other USB device from the lantern's battery. This is especially useful during outages and on multi-day trips. Check the individual model for its battery capacity and whether it offers USB-out charging.
- How long do rechargeable lanterns run, and how bright should one be?
- Output and runtime trade off against each other. A lantern set to a low ambient level can run for many hours or overnight, while higher settings drain faster. For a tent or a single room you rarely need more than a few hundred lumens. Some models offer adjustable colour temperature (warmer or cooler light) and a low-output mode with extended runtime for sleeping areas.
