The best way to ensure a camping trip goes well is by being as prepared as possible with the proper gear. Having a great tent to provide shelter in any weather is paramount, as is a warm camping blanket and plenty of food and water. Accessories like camping stoves and survival knives are also important, but they're not as critical as a trusty lantern—and recently, one of Amazon's best dropped below $25 for not one but two.

The two-pack of Consciot LED Camping Lanterns is on sale for just $22—a 38% discount on the original price of $35. They're backed by over 2,400 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they're "very, very bright," and they're currently a top 10 bestselling model in their category on Amazon. It's available as a single or a double, but having more than one is always a good idea.

These 1,000-lumen LED camping lights are battery-powered, taking three D-cell batteries to operate (though a rechargeable version is available). Each lantern has a top and bottom hook and weighs about 2 pounds, which is light enough to affix to the apex of a tent without compromising the poles. They're also great for having around the campsite when cooking or just in the house in case of a blackout because they offer 360-degree luminescence, lighting up an entire space from any angle. Four lighting modes can be selected with a mere press of the power button.

Campers who have found these lanterns say they're exactly what they need for a successful trip. "We took these camping and loved them," a shopper said. "Great as a lantern for walking, on the table, hanging from the top of the tent or on the floor. The bright [setting] is very bright, the next down is perfect."

But the most frequently asked question is related to battery life, specifically, how much light can you get on a single set of them. One shopper who tested numerous lanterns found that a specific type of battery works best for these. "I've previously tested these lanterns with rechargeable NiMH D cells and found they stay lit well over 24 hours on their brightest setting," they said. "I have rechargeable NiMH D cells that are going on eight years old and still recharge with no problems. They also hold their charge for a long time in the lantern, so they're always ready."

If camping is in the cards this spring and summer, a good lantern like this one is a must-have, and there's no better time to score a deal than now with the two-pack on sale for just $22. Though you might not be hitting the site tomorrow, the price is subject to increasing, so get ahead of the trip and stock up while you can.
