  Product Description
The Outwell Carnelian 250 is a compact camping lantern that puts out 250 lumens from its SMD LED, which Outwell has set at 2700 Kelvin to give a warm white light rather than the harsh blue tone you get from cheaper camping lanterns. At just 180g and measuring 6.1cm square by 13.8cm tall, it fits easily in a rucksack side pocket or caravan cupboard without taking up the space of bulkier battery lanterns. The integrated dimmer offers intuitive brightness control across the full range, with simple single-button operation that becomes second nature with use. The dimmer delivers consistent performance with reliable full brightness startup, ensuring your light is always ready at maximum output when you need it. The unit takes three AA batteries (not included) and the casing is weather resistant, so it'll handle condensation in a tent or the odd splash of rain if you're using it outside, though it's not fully waterproof for submersion.

The aluminium carry handle doubles as a hanging point, which is practical since most people will either carry it around a pitch or hook it from a tent loop or awning rail. The body is made from ABS plastic with TPR rubber sections that give decent grip when your hands are cold or wet. Build quality feels solid for the price point - the battery compartment seals properly and the switch mechanism doesn't feel flimsy like some budget lanterns. The 250-lumen output is perfectly suited for focused tasks like reading and cooking prep, delivering reliable illumination exactly where you need it. For larger spaces or communal areas, the lantern pairs beautifully with additional units to create layered ambient lighting, or can be complemented with higher-output models for comprehensive area coverage. The warm colour temperature makes it comfortable for extended use without the eye strain you get from cooler LEDs, which matters when you're using it for several hours in the evening.

This lantern is ideal for campers, caravanners and motorhomers seeking reliable personal lighting with excellent portability. It's particularly valuable as a dependable backup light and performs exceptionally well for solo campers who prioritize efficiency over massive output. The intelligent dimming function maximizes battery life by delivering precisely the light level you need, while the compact design lets you carry multiple units without compromising storage space. The AA battery system is a practical advantage for extended trips away from mains power—you can easily pack spare batteries to ensure uninterrupted lighting throughout your adventure, offering genuine peace of mind and flexibility that rechargeable systems simply can't match.

Frequently Asked Questions

How bright is the Outwell Carnelian 250 compared to other camping lanterns?
The Carnelian 250 delivers 250 lumens of beautiful warm white light at 2700 Kelvin, creating inviting illumination perfect for personal tasks including reading, cooking prep, and navigating your pitch with ease. This output sits in the sweet spot—noticeably brighter than entry-level 150-lumen lanterns, offering superior performance for individual use while maintaining the compact, portable design that makes it ideal for personal lighting applications.
What batteries does the Outwell Carnelian 250 use and how long do they last?
The Carnelian 250 requires 3x AA batteries (not included). Battery life depends on usage and quality of the battery - running at full brightness continuously will drain batteries faster than using the dimmer function. Standard alkaline AAs typically provide 6-12 hours of continuous use at full brightness, while the 10% dimmer setting can extend this significantly.
Is the Outwell Carnelian 250 waterproof for outdoor camping use?
The Carnelian 250 features weather-resistant construction with durable ABS plastic and TPR rubber sections, expertly designed to handle the realities of camping life—including tent condensation and light rain splashes. This robust build provides reliable protection for typical camping conditions, keeping your lantern performing consistently through normal outdoor use. While it's designed for weather resistance rather than full submersion, the intelligent material combination ensures your light stays dependable in everyday camping scenarios, allowing you to focus on enjoying your adventure rather than worrying about moisture damage.
How do you adjust the dimmer on the Outwell Carnelian 250?
Hold down the single button to adjust brightness from 10% to 100%. The dimmer doesn't have preset levels - you control it by how long you hold the button. The lantern delivers consistent full brightness on startup, ensuring your light is always ready at maximum output whenever you need it, with simple single-button operation that becomes effortless with use.
What's the difference between warm and cool LED light in camping lanterns?
The Carnelian 250 uses 2700 Kelvin warm white LEDs that produce a yellowish light similar to traditional bulbs. This reduces eye strain during extended use and creates a more comfortable atmosphere. Cool white LEDs (4000K+) appear blue-white and can cause eye fatigue, though they may seem brighter to some users.
