Electricity is hard to come by when camping or exploring the great outdoors. With the evolution of technology over the years, portable lighting has reached new heights. There are a range of options to choose from to keep your area well lit, including battery power and rechargeable. But what is right for you? We’ll take you through a few benefits to help you choose the best option for your next journey.
The benefits of rechargeable portable lighting include:
1. Cheaper over time
Although generally more expensive at the outset, their rechargeable nature could save you in the long run.
2. Higher lumen output
Rechargeable lithium batteries have a higher lumens output than battery power lights due to their power capacity.
3. Constant light output
Rechargeable battery power lights do not diminish their output during run time. So, your area will continue to have the same brightness until it needs recharging.
4. Better for the environment
As rechargeable batteries have longer lifespans, there is less battery waste that needs to be discarded.
The benefits of battery-powered portable lighting include:
1. Longevity over time
Disposable batteries last longer than their rechargeable counterparts for extended lengths of time. This makes it an excellent option for low-power devices such as spare torches for a power outage.
2. Easy to find
As they are a very popular portable lighting option, they are quite easy and accessible to purchase when you need spares.
3. No need to rely on electricity
As electricity is not required, batteries can be replaced as soon as they run out.
4. A cheaper solution
Generally, battery power products are more affordable than rechargeable options and are great if you’re not looking to spend too much money.
