Etekcity LED Camping Lanterns, 4 Pack
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The Etekcity collapsible LED lantern is one of Amazon's top sellers in Electric Camping Lanterns, and this listing puts four of them in a box with the AA batteries already included. Each one has 30 LEDs, puts out up to 154 lumens all the way around and collapses down to under 5 inches tall.
The switch is the lantern itself. Pull it open and it turns on, slide it partway down to dim it, push it closed to shut it off. That matters when the person reaching for it in the dark is six years old and on the way to the bathhouse.
The Numbers That Matter
Four in a pack. This is the reason to buy this listing. One lantern stays in the tent, one sits on the camp table, and each kid gets his own to carry, which ends the argument over who holds the light.
Up to 154 lumens, 360 degrees. Plenty to read a comic, find a sleeping bag zipper or play cards at the table. It is soft area light, so a headlamp still does the walking and the grill work.
Up to 50 hours on 3 AA batteries. A long weekend on one set, and AA is the battery you can buy at any gas station on the way to the lake.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 4 lanterns | A light for every kid and the table |
| 154 lumens, 360 degrees | Tent and table light, not a floodlight |
| 3 AA, up to 50 hours | A long weekend per set of batteries |
| 4.86 in collapsed | Packs into a bin or truck console |
Who It Is For
The camping dad with small kids who keep losing the one good flashlight, and the house that wants a few lights ready in a drawer for when the power goes out after a storm. Skip it if you want a single rechargeable light bright enough to cover a big group site.
One sits nicely on the floor of the Coleman Sundome tent. For hands free light while cooking on the Camp Chef Explorer stove, pair them with a headlamp like the NITECORE NU25.

The Short Version
Four collapsible AA lanterns that are simple enough for small hands: pull up for light, push down for off. I would hand one to each kid in the tent, keep one on the camp table and stash the rest with the power outage kit at home. If you want one bright rechargeable light for a whole campsite, look elsewhere.
