1, steam lamp
The steam lamp is filled with kerosene or paraffin oil, and then pumped into the oil pot on the base to generate a certain pressure, so that the kerosene becomes steam, which is sprayed on the hot veil and emits white light. Generally, the lamp head of steam lamp is a veil made of castor fiber or asbestos, and there is a hood similar to grass eaves on the upper part, so the brightness of lighting is wide and bright.
The disadvantage of steam lamp is that the glass lampshade used is easy to break during transportation, and at the same time, when the flame burns, it will generate a lot of heat, which is easy to burn if it is accidentally touched.
2. kerosene lamp
Kerosene lamp is a camping lamp used in military camps in the past, and it is also a relatively retro camping equipment. Low brightness, about 30 lumens, generally plays an atmosphere role. Every 300 ml of fuel can make it light for about 20 hours.
If kerosene lamps are used as tent lights, the advantages are more atmospheric, but the disadvantages are lower brightness and higher cost.
3, LED lights
Compared with the first two kinds of lights, LED lights are widely used in modern camping. Although the battery life of LED lamp is not the longest, it is much better than steam lamp and kerosene lamp, with high safety, no scald, reliable wind resistance and diverse designs. They are more suitable for hanging in high places as ambient lights, and can store energy through charging and batteries.
4. Candle lamp
Candle lamp is an unusual camping lamp. It burns for about 50 hours and can be carried or hung, and the wick cup can be replaced. It is also romantic to use it outdoors.
Expand knowledge: which is better for outdoor tent lights?
Among the above tent lights, which one is better is still inconclusive. After all, different kinds of outdoor tent lights have their own advantages:
The oil lamp has a good atmosphere, but it needs to carry extra oil when it is used, which is inconvenient to store and relatively complicated to operate. Compared with oil lamps, steam lamps are more convenient to operate and have a good atmosphere, but the required gas tanks are dangerous, explosive and dangerous to some extent. LED lights are easy to use, simple to operate and practical, so they are used more. Of course, if conditions permit, you can prepare several kinds of camping lights. LED lights are used as tent lights, steam lights and kerosene lamps as camping atmosphere lights, and the effect is also very good.
Suggestions on Matching Various Camping Lights
1. It is suggested to use LED white light with higher illumination brightness or steam lamp and oil lamp as the main light source.
2. At night, you can prepare an extra headlight or flashlight, as well as battery, kerosene and gas tank, which need to be prepared in advance.
3. Camping atmosphere lights can be decorated with LED chandeliers and string lights.
4. according to the camping environment, add a light rack to hang lights. When there are many mosquitoes in summer, you can hang a yellow light at the height of the lamp stand far away from the tent to attract mosquitoes.
