Which should you buy? The standard Lumi-Lite is the right call if you want a simple, lightweight lantern at the lowest possible price — brilliant as a night light or basic ceiling light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is candle mode on the Maxi Lumi-Lite?
It's a flickering warm-light setting that mimics the look of a real candle — great for a relaxed evening atmosphere in your awning or tent.
Are both compatible with Outdoor Revolution awnings and tents?
Yes — both are designed to work with the lantern hanging points built into Outdoor Revolution inflatable tents, awnings, and drive-aways from 2018 onwards.
Which is better for families with young children?
The standard Lumi-Lite's simple brightness settings and carry handle make it the more practical choice for families. The Maxi's sound-sensitive dimming is a nice bonus but adds complexity you may not need.
