Having good lighting is a crucial component of any glamping experience. The BioLite AlpenGlow 500 is a versatile USB lantern that is priced at $79.95 and is designed to provide exceptional lighting. With a brightness of 500 lumens, this lantern offers nine different lighting modes, similar to those found in smart bulbs. You can choose from various options such as cool white, warm white, single color, multicolor, candle flicker, single side light, fireworks, and more. This allows you to use the lamp for illumination or to create a desired ambiance based on your needs. The AlpenGlow 500 even has a red light night mode and a useful memory feature that remembers the last-used mode.

The lantern is dimmable and equipped with a 6,400mAh power bank. On high brightness, it can last for up to five hours, while on low brightness, it can provide illumination for up to 40 hours. It takes around three hours to charge the lantern, and it also features a USB port that allows you to charge your other gadgets. To help monitor the battery level, the lantern has four LEDs that indicate the remaining power. When the battery is almost empty, the AlpenGlow 500 automatically enters low power mode. Additionally, this camping accessory has an IPX4 rating, ensuring it is capable of withstanding light rainfall and dew. It also includes an integrated hook that enables you to hang it up and illuminate a larger area.
