Telescopic Camping Lantern

One light rarely covers both the walk to the spigot and the table where everyone eats. This telescopic camping lantern does both. Collapsed, it is a compact handheld torch; legs out and column raised, it is a standing lantern pooling warm light over the whole table.

• Telescoping column on fold-out tripod legs lifts the lamp head above plates and gear, putting light on the table instead of in your eyes
• Collapses to hand-torch size for the walk to the car or the tent, one light doing two jobs
• Runs through the night on a charge, at camp or mid-blackout at home
• One-button control that cold hands can find in the dark
• Two colors: green or white

Stand it up at dinner, collapse it for the walk back, and keep it on the shelf for the night the power quits.
