The Outwell Carnelian 2000 is the brightest lantern in the Carnelian battery range — delivering a powerful 2,000 lumens of warm white light from 4 × D batteries. It's the right choice when you need to properly illuminate a large drive-away awning, a covered cooking area, or a big family pitch. The 10–100% dimmer lets you dial it back for atmosphere, and the 360° output fills a space evenly without dark spots.

Note: the 2000's runtime is 10 hours at full brightness (vs 40 hours for the Carnelian 1000) due to the higher power draw of 4 × D batteries. For most tent use, the Carnelian 1000 offers better value. The 2000 is the choice when maximum brightness is the priority.

Available at our Newquay showroom — 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ.

Carnelian 2000 vs 1000 — Which Should You Choose?

The 2000 is twice as bright as the 1000 but gives 10 hours vs 40 hours of runtime. At £24.99 vs £19.99, the 2000 is only £5 more — but for most families the Carnelian 1000 is the better all-round buy. Choose the 2000 if you're lighting a very large awning or outdoor cooking area and want maximum output, and you're happy to restock batteries mid-week.
