Brunton Polaris Camping Lamp
On the other end of the weight spectrum, but perfect for car camping (where you drive to the campsite) or backyarding it, is the Brunton Polaris. It weighs about one pound, due to its use of C-size batteries, but I love it because it makes everybody look great. Seriously: If you have a romantic camping outing on your mind, lighting is everything; the last thing you want is to bathe you and your companion in the same light they use to illuminate the produce aisle at Costco. The Polaris has a unique orange filter that looks like soft firelight, making you look, you know, outdoorsy and healthy. Link to story

The unique variable speed focus requires only a light touch, and we liked that the locking diopter was on the right eyepiece versus the suddenly trendy center dial, making it easier to remember which eye to shut"
