At anchor on the boat in the evening - you need atmospheric lighting
What can LED lanterns do that the good old Feuerhand can't? We compared nine battery-powered models. Download the test in PDF format
During the short summer nights with barely ending twilight, sailors had almost forgotten what lighting is good for. Now it gets dark early. And whether as a working light on the winch or as lighting for a cosy evening - the lantern now has to be dug out of the back box again. LED lanterns can provide pleasant light.
We tested both inexpensive models such as the lights from Semptec, Lunartec and Clas Ohlson for less than 20 euros as well as those in the mid-price range above 30 euros (Uco and Hydra Light). The high-price segment was also represented in the form of the Apollo from Black Diamond, the LED lantern from Barebone and the Sunbell from Bright.
You can read about the results of the test and how much money you need to invest for pleasant light in YACHT, issue 19/2018. The magazine is available in the DK shop, or you can download the test directly via the link below.
