The BioLite Alpenglow 250 is a rechargeable camping lantern with 250 lumens of output and a 3200 mAh battery that runs up to 5 hours on high and 200 hours on low. Its ChromaReal LEDs render colors more naturally than the cool-white LEDs on most camp lanterns, and a built-in accelerometer adds candle flicker and color-cycling modes when you shake it. It is IPX4 rated for rain and splashes and small enough to pack for a backyard or a backcountry trip. Rivals like the Goal Zero Lighthouse and Black Diamond Moji offer similar brightness but fewer color and ambient modes, and owners treat the Alpenglow as a fun, versatile light rather than a hardcore expedition lantern.
