Collection: Lighting

Reliable light is the first thing most people reach for when the power goes or the sun sets on the trail. This collection brings together rechargeable head torches, zoomable pocket torches, camping lanterns (including solar and power-bank combinations) and emergency glow sticks. Each listing shows the brightness, runtime, charging method and water-resistance rating as the manufacturer states them, so you can match a torch to how you'll use it. For walking, a head torch keeps both hands free. For a tent or a power cut, a lantern lights the whole space. Keep one light in your rucksack and one where you can find it in the dark at home, and charge them every few months.
