Luminoodle LED Rope Lights for Camping, Hiking, Safety, Emergencies - Portable LED String Light That Doubles as an LED Lantern

Product Information

The manufacturer states its IP67 rating resists dust, debris, and sand and also allows it to be submerged in 3 feet of water for at least 30 minutes. I have been looking for a while for an exterior LED rope light option that would allow me to plug in directly from my 12V batteries. You can truss yourself up like a Christmas tree, draping the lights around your body and affixing them with the special “Noodle Ties,” which sort of look like a cross between zip ties and Quidditch goals. The peel-and-stick Luminoodle Color Bias Lighting strip is easy to install on the back of your TV (seen here above a couple of competing bias lighting strips). We love continuous dimming capabilities, which allow you to adjust the light intensity based on the group size and setting.

Models with outputs in the 200-lumen range are sufficient for both personal and small-group use, while the 100-lumen output of lanterns like the UCO Leschi, Goal Zero Crush Light, and Goal Zero Crush Light Chroma are best for personal use only. Many of the lanterns we tested – even small ones like Kizen Solar Collapsible – are able to charge a smartphone (or other small electronic devices). We especially like the products with dimmable power outputs (as opposed to fixed settings like low, medium, and high). Whether it is thru-hiking the PCT or Vermont's Long Trail or paddling down New Hampshire's Androscoggin River, he is grateful for the warm glow of a lantern on a cold, rainy night (and a little power boost for his phone).

Under the department's rules, specialty fixtures -- large, decorative globes found in bathrooms, candle-shaped lights, recessed lighting, etc. The silicone casing of the Light Rope makes it a little difficult to handle and pulling the unit through the ties and then spacing the ties properly with the magnetic sleeves on the rope was frustrating, especially in the confines of a backpacking tent in the middle of the woods. Whether you're looking for the best camping chair, a highly-efficient camp stove, or a tent big enough for the whole family, we will help you choose the best gear to make the most of your next camping trip.

It even features a compartment on the bottom of the lantern for storing the charger cube and cord, which we found particularly useful for a rechargeable model. This model has a built-in, rechargeable battery and the option for back-up, traditional batteries for the best of both worlds. For models with disposable batteries, we used standard Duracell brand batteries, and for lanterns that use fuel, we used the most commonly used canisters.Designed to be ultra-light and portable, the Primus model produces plenty enough light for cooking or playing card games while you're backpacking. The Goal Zero Lighthouse 600 and Goal Zero Lighthouse Mini V2 also have wide stands but are slightly less adaptable to uneven surfaces. If you want a bold, bright swath of bias lighting, you can follow Luminoodle’s lead and stick the strip all the way around the back of your set, leaving a couple of inches or so between the strip and the outside edge of your TV. You may also end up saving a little more weight in total if you opt for a version that also includes a USB charge port (assuming you are otherwise going to bring a supplemental battery pack).

Luminoodle Color Bias Lighting review: A nice - TechHive

The fact that it’s waterproof is great, up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, although that doesn’t apply to the battery pack, so the usage there is again limited to just being weatherproof, which is still a great feature.

A model with an on/off switch and a handle is sufficient in most cases, but we appreciate those that offer a little more versatility and thoughtfulness. The Goal Zero Lighthouse 600 is pretty hefty, but considering it has a large internal battery and a hand-crank, we think its weight is reasonable.
