Lighting: Headlamps, camping lights & co. – LED with rechargeable battery in the test

Lighting – light on the road and at the campsite!
Passionate campers know that a camping vacation involves spending a lot of time in the great outdoors.
It’s easy to forget the time and it can get dark quicker than planned.
While you can simply switch on the light at home, this is a little more difficult on the campsite.
That’s why we recommend camping lights for the roof tent as well as headlamps so that you can enjoy a relaxed and carefree vacation.

Lighting in the roof tent and on the campsite

So that you don’t have to pack up the rest of your things, pitch your tent or go to the toilet in the dark, you should definitely equip yourself with a camping lamp in advance.
Regardless of whether you want to sit down comfortably in front of your tent or camper in the evening to relax at the end of the day or have something to do outside – there should be enough light not only inside but also outside your camper.
There are different options and variants that vary in brightness and range.
Alternatively, you can browse through other products in the lighting category here to be as well equipped as possible on the campsite and make the most of your time. Are you a camping beginner? Read all about the basics of packing lists, routes, costs, tips etc. here: Camping beginners.

Camping lights: Advantages and variants in the test

The simplest lighting option is a light to stand on.
This can simply be placed in front of the tent and, with the help of batteries or rechargeable batteries, provides you with the light you need to sit together comfortably.
Another option is hanging lights.
These do not take up any space, but usually provide very little light, so although they are sufficient for a general overview, it is better to use a different type of lamp.
An awning light is also useful.
This is mounted on the tent so that the corresponding LED lamps ensure that the entrance area is sufficiently illuminated.
You can sit outside with your loved ones in the evening, play board games together and enjoy the evening in comfort.
Awning lights are usually equipped with a motion sensor so that you always have a bright entrance area to find your way around as soon as you come out and even after a visit to the toilet.

Different versions of camping lights

  • Floor lamp
  • Hanging lamp
  • Awning lamp
  • Ceiling lamp

Tip: A string of lights is also recommended.
This not only provides light, but also ensures an extra portion of coziness!

Headlamp: LED lights with battery or rechargeable battery

However, as it is not only dark around your roof tent, but also on the way to the toilet, for example, or during sporting activities that extend into the late evening, a headlamp is also a good idea on your camping vacation.
These now have LED lights that work with batteries or rechargeable batteries and can therefore be easily recharged.
An elastic strap ensures that the lamp fits your head perfectly and does not slip.
No matter where you go and look, the lamp on your forehead will light the way.

Advantages of a headlamp

  • Practical for sporting activities
  • Simple and easy to attach to the head
  • High luminosity thanks to LED lamps
  • Powered by batteries or rechargeable battery
  • Elastic band adapts to the head

Flashlight: Lightweight, waterproof & with rechargeable battery

It’s also never a bad idea to have a flashlight with you.
Flashlights are now super handy, lightweight and waterproof, but guarantee great luminosity thanks to the LED lamps.
As a result, they hardly take up any space and can easily be carried in your rucksack if your excursions extend into the dark or you want to explore dark caves, for example.

Advantages of a flashlight

  • Handy and lightweight
  • Waterproof: practical for certain leisure activities
  • High luminosity thanks to LED lamps
  • Easy transportation in a rucksack

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
