If I had hung the LT1 it might have bent my tent poles. I much prefer this size for my needs.

Hanging a LT1S in the tent is where it's at. The tent we use most often has a light colored fabric. White or a light grey. Either way, the "reflections" create a nice, even light throughout the tent.

I need to get back into camping so I have an excuse to buy one.

May need to pick one up, didn't realize it worked as a battery bank as well.

Yeah I love my LT1 but definitely the LT1S is a form factor that 'plays much better' for camping. LT1 is somewhat 'tippy' for non-perfectly flag things like a tent floor (so much so I made a screw on baseplate for myself).

Nice! Exactly why I got a LT1S Pro, I'll go camping soon. Can't wait to try it out!

Great camping lantern. Saddly I don't camping anymore. I should, just to buy a few lantern ! 😁

Inside of tents I usually ceiling bounce the light. Less stress for the poles, especially during wind. But it can be hung up under a tarp, a tree or standing an a table.

During fire ban a nice lantern is fantastic.
