What’s up party people. It’s christmas time and i am giving away six ultralight camp lights, including batteries*. They weigh a whooping 11 g including two CR2032 batteries. According to the seller, the power should last for thirty hours and then start dimming down when power starts to fade, so no sudden death. I have not ran them for that long so i can’t say for sure.

The wire is one meter long and has 10 LED’s. Seller claims they’re fine for outdoor use but doesn’t look like you could go swimming with them. I have no long time experience with these lights.

I have fixed the lights to my inner tent, so no extra set up necessary, they hardly weigh anything and roll up neatly with the tent. The switch seems quite safe from being switched on by accident (unlike the switch of my head lamp, which is an annoyance).

I would like to only give these away to people who would try and use it for their tents. Just DM me an address that accepts letters and it’ll be on its way. First come, first serve. Would be nice to see a follow-up photo of the lights in use but no rush and no requirement. I will delete any DM containing private information after sending and promise you that i will keep the contents to myself.

I will edit this post once the lights are gone.

*I am actually not sure if i can send them without any trouble including batteries, so at least if i send overseas (from Europe), i would tend to send them without. They’d be two CR2032 lithium batteries, maybe somebody knows if there’d be a problem with it.

Hope this is not too off topic :)

edit: Actually i don’t think i can delete DM’s. However, there’s no post history required to be sent an ultralight camp light, so if you want to disassociate from your main, just DM me from a throw away account.

    We’ve used them for way longer than 30 hours (not sure if exactly the same model). Never in the tent though! Genious idea. Will try it next trip!

      Yeah, such a good idea. I stole it from a couple that i met some years ago on a tour, they had a bigger fairy light that plugged into their powerbank. Was such a festive atmosphere, haha. I initially wanted to copy that, without extra batteries, but turns out these modern lights don’t really work with many (my) powerbanks since they consume too little power and the powerbank just turns off after a minute. So i use that usb light now on my balcony and ordered these small battery ones, they only came in sets of ten, that’s why i’m trying to get rid of some.
