3W 200 lumens 3 Modes adjustable Camping Lantern Flashlight mode Torch Flashlight Light Lamp

This is very similar to the UCO and Alpkit plastic lanterns/flashlights but 1/4 and 1/2 the price from China (same place as theirs are made). Already got a head torch so in no rush and decided to go with longer delivery for cheaper price. At £5.69 it was a bargain :)

Adz,

Knowing you're a bit (kit) weight conscious when backpacking, a good lightweight option for a camp light is to find something that diffuses your headlights beam.

Something as simple as leaning or tying your headlamp up against the side of your new Evernew water bladder filled with water creates a good diffused light.
Take a gander round your kit and have a look for anything that's clear or white and it should work.

For my SC600 i nicked the idea from CPF of using a old film cannister as a diffuser, works fantastic.

When in the tent i've put together a line that runs across the roof of my inner tent (Tarptent Stato2 has 2 clips for this).
I've strung the rubber headtorch holder through the line and just clip the line into the inner tents clips, with the really wide beam of the H602 i get the entire tent filled with a nice wide beam of light

To be honest the SC600 with the film canister is better as a tent light, but at 48g the H602 is light plus useful as a night hiking light if the H600 fails.
