LED Lenser HP Review | High Performance Blog

For those unfamiliar with what a LED flashlight, here’s a quick tutorial.  Flashlights using light emitting diodes (LEDs) use bulbs that are essentially semiconductors that directly convert electricity into light. These differ from other light sources which use liquids like mercury or gasses like neon to convert the electricity to light. Because of this elimination of the “middle man” the light that emits from a white LED light is far more powerful than a traditional flashlight source. Additionally, such a light is not a drain on a battery and can last A LOT longer than a traditional flashlight. This is why you here people talk, including myself, about how cost and energy efficient this technology really is.  This kind of efficiency and brightness is why LED flashlights have become the number one choice of military, law enforcement and emergency personnel.

If there was one item that was probably the singular most recognizable visual symbol for camping it would be the classic image of a lantern. Now, in the “old days”, lanterns operated on oil or kerosene. While such lanterns are still produced this very day there is also the safer and more cost effective option of a battery operated lantern. The evolution of the camping lantern did not stop with batteries, however.  Now campers are more and more relying on the power and efficiency of LED lanterns.

Sometimes holding a flashlight in your hands can be a little difficult. Imagine trying to repair a flat tire while holding the flashlight under your arm. That hardly sounds like an easy way to get back on the road. So, rather than perform any repairs in an awkward manner it would be best to take the easy route and use a decent LED headlamp.
