When hiking solar models are too weak, but donate a soothing lighting on balmy evenings on the terrace or balcony. b) What travel risks can be assessed in terms of weather and terrain according to past experience? Splashing water or mud can not handle all models, but a camping lantern in a waterproof housing. Models without splash water protection are not recommended in favor of operational safety. c) Which brightness should the camping lantern provide permanently? Camping lanterns with solar panels are not bright enough for a night walk, but sufficient for an evening garden party.
