Incandescent torch bulbs are outdated technology. They chew through batteries and require replacing regularly because they burn out. Battery LED lights offer a new style of lighting which can alleviate all of those problems and give you more light for your money as well.
You can now retire that massive power hungry torch that chewed through expensive D sized batteries. You can now get a decent amount of light in a much smaller package that will fit in your pocket or backpack and won't weigh you down as much if you are a hiker.
Battery operated LED lights are also extremely tough. If you drop your torch you can be sure that the light source has not shattered. For people who need something extra durable there are many water proof LED powered torches available.
Battery powered LEDs have also become useful in the home. Many people are turning to solar power to replace or subsidise their electricity use. LEDs can run straight off a 12 volt power source without converting into mains power first. You'll always have a bit of standby power for lights and radio or even a portable TV during emergencies with even the simplest solar system installed.
Caravans and RVs can also make great use of the new technology and because they run off 12 volts there is no need to use an inverter to power them. Without an inverter using an extra 10% of your stored energy for conversion you will have more power available as well.
Battery powered LEDs are versatile devices and can be used in many devices suitable for camping, touring in an RV or as an alternative light source for the home so you will be able to find some that are the perfect fit for your use.
Battery powered LED string lights are great for tent campers with young children. Get enough length to fit around the entire perimeter of the tent and outside of the pegs. Children will be able to run around at night and not have to worry about tripping over ropes and hurting themselves. It also helps adults find their way during those inevitable late night or early morning trips.
