← Back to Camping Lights & Lanterns
Vango make one of the most comprehensive camping light ranges available — from a simple AA battery lantern to a 4-metre IP67 LED strip with remote control. Here's the full lineup we stock at Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ.
Traditional Lanterns
Vango Star 85 Lantern — £12.99
The simplest and lightest in the range. 2 brightness settings (40Lm / 85Lm), warm light, 4x AA batteries (not included), converts from tabletop to hanging lantern in seconds. At just 0.14kg it's the most packable option — no charging, no cables, just swap the batteries.
Best for: Festival camping, ultralight packing, or a simple bedside night light.
Vango Galaxy Rechargeable 60 Lantern — £19.99
Vango's off-grid specialist. 36 LEDs, 60Lm, wind-up charging plus DC car adapter and UK mains plug included. Two lighting modes, folding handle, 0.62kg. The wind-up mechanism means you're never without power regardless of hook-up access.
Best for: Off-grid and wild camping where mains or USB power isn't guaranteed.
Vango Lunar 250 Lantern — £19.99
The brightest traditional lantern in the range at 250Lm. LG LEDs, warm light, 3x D batteries (not included), folding handle with hanging hook, 0.48kg. Runtime up to 4 hours on low / 2 hours on high.
Best for: Family camping where maximum brightness is the priority.
Vango Lunar 250 Recharge USB Lantern — £22.00
The Lunar 250 with a built-in 2000mAh rechargeable battery instead of D cells — USB-C charged in 4 hours, 3.5-hour runtime, and a USB output so it doubles as a phone charger. Same 250Lm output and hanging hook.
Best for: EHU pitches or anyone who wants a lantern that also charges their phone.
