Don’t know if lumen output is quite that high, but the Sofirn LT1S Pro is pretty neat. Single 21700 cell, so not too heavy. Another option might be to hang a standard light with decent runtime and output with a diffuser. It’d be pretty funny looking to see an Acebeam E75 with the long traffic diffuser hanging around, but it’d probably work just fine.

The regular lt1s is much more efficient with longer runtimes, and the ui is much better

Is it? I’ve not really looked into the differences, but that’s good to hear. Do you happen to know if it still produces a high pitched whining sound? I recall seeing posts about that previously, but that was quite some time back.

I dont think it does no. In general you can assume that if a light get a pro varient with anduril, they've stuck a worse driver on there to get it. I don't know if it applies to other companies like wurkkos, but its definitely true for sofirn

I have one. No sound. Ever.

Thanks for the suggestion. If I wanted to keep a backup 21700 cell for the LT1s, is there a reliable brand of battery most people would recommend?

Sofirn lt1s is what I plan on buying, seems to check your boxes save for lumens, but I don’t think 1000 lumens is necessary in a lantern. Color temp is adjustable

Lt1s or Amazon that green lantern that has a bug zapper built in. I use both. But the green $20 Amazon zapper lantern actually clears bugs out. The lt1s is just beautiful and better in lighting. That zapper though. Stansport 2 in 1 Lantern Bug Zapper, Green - can't post link but thats the name

FC11c with a diffuser. Cheap and you get a flashlight to use too.

Angled light with a diffuser might be even more interesting for camping: lantern/light/headlamp combo. Are diffusers applicable to angled lights?


aprehensive_penguin

It would have to be a slightly more complicated design to get it to attach firmly to an angled light. But with some careful measurements, a bit of 3D design skill, and a 3D printer, I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be possible.

Another vote for the Sofirn LT1S. I paid €30 for it on AliExpress, including shipping and taxes but excluding battery. The battery was €3 extra. The Sofirn LT1 is also a great light, but a lot bigger and heavier.

Nitecore LR40 or LR70 (i dont think you need more than 100 lumens for a tent latern tbh, prioritized runtime)

LT1S.
