When it comes to innovation in the outdoor lighting industry, Biolite are lightyears ahead. The BaseLantern XL is the first flatpack lantern that combines lighting with Bluetooth technology which provides you with your own little smart grid for charging devices.

To unlock this lantern’s full potential, hook it up to the low energy Bluetooth app that will allow you to use unlock the alarm function for early mornings, proximity activation to prevent any stumbles in the dark, and an/off dimming so you can switch your light up from the comfort of your sleeping bag or bed. The powerbank function will allow you to charge your phone, tablet and other gear thanks to the 12000 mAh battery in the BaseLantern XL. The edge to edge lighting design provides you with 500 lumens of light, but without the bulk, so it’s easy to slip into the top of your bag.

The sturdy stainless steel folding legs let you hang this light from a tree, stand it off a table, or angle the direction of light when you need it. With several different lighting modes, you can switch it red to preserve your night vision, change the light to blue to rest your eyes, or switch it to the multi-coloured light mode if you want to add some party vibes to your campsite or home.
