Varta Camping Lantern and LED Lipstick Light

Well, It’s coming to that time of year again, when we are thinking of taking our tent down from the attic, dusting it off and checking for holes, not to mention locating all the camping equipment that we hurriedly put away at the end of last summer, sure that we would remember exactly where we put everything 6 months later…

Well, if you need to further invest for the coming season, don’t think twice about buying Varta’s 3Watt LED outdoor sports lantern.  It’s indispensable for all those upcoming camping trips and we  wouldn’t be without it.

It has a dimming function and nightlight mode, perfect for those midnight toilet trips…  It has apparently survived a 2metre drop test, which testifies to its sturdiness.  It is even water resistant, which will come in handy camping in our country. Most importantly, it has a hanging hoop top and bottom so it can be suspended either way if needed. The Varta camping lantern battery life lasts up to 130hrs, so it should last for several trips and it takes 3 D batteries, which are simple to replace.

Very highly recommended, priced at £21.99 on Amazon UK.

Varta LED Lipstick Light – A perfect little gift for mum this Mother’s Day.

I’m not sure why this is called a lipstick light, could be for 2 reasons… 1 , it looks like a lipstick tube, It’s small and comes in either blue or pink, or 2, it’s because it can be used for reapplying lippy when you’re out at night!  Either way, this is a very useful handbag torch.  I use mine to find the key slot in the car or to help find the lock on the front door at night.  It’s about 4 inches long, so it’s very compact and fits easily into the smallest handbag.  The beam distance is a surprising 25m, the light is 0.5 Watt LED.  The beam width can be adjusted by twisting the cap.  It takes one AA battery, which lasts approx. 3 hours and is simple to replace.  This would make a lovely gift for any teenager or older lady and, of course, for mum this mother’s day.  Let’s face it, we should all have a handy little torch like this in our handbag.  It’s available on Amazon in blue or pink priced at £4.99.
