This $88 portable camp light is also a Bluetooth speaker and charger
Once in a while, we come across these multi-function thingamajigs that leave us wondering why we haven’t thought of that particular combo of functions before—like the Hiwevvy telescopic camping light that’s now available for $88, down from its $110 MSRP. This camping light is more than just a light source. It’s also a Bluetooth speaker and a power bank that can recharge your other devices, making it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures and activities. The lantern aspect has a telescopic design, featuring a retractable pole that extends up to 40 inches so the light source can reach higher and illuminate more of the campsite. The lamp head rotates 180 degrees, allowing you to focus it in whichever direction you need. Multiple lighting modes are available: there’s a cold light, a warm light, and an RGB ambient light. With up to 800 lumens of brightness, you’ll be able to have plenty of fun and vision, even at night. The light has a sizable 14,000mAh battery capacity that provides up to 45 hours of lighting, but can also be used to recharge devices through its USB-A output. When it runs low, you can recharge the light itself using your car via the USB-C input. The entire thing is only 10.4 inches tall and 2.8 inches wide when fully collapsed, so even when you don’t need the light, you can still use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker and/or charger. It’s also waterproof and protected against dust and oil with its IPX5 rating, which means it’s reliable in all weather conditions. Overall, it’s just a versatile device that can come in handy for all sorts of uses, especially when you’re outside. This multi-functional camping light is worth it for just $88 on Amazon.
